I spent the afternoon with my good friend Jeremy White yesterday. Jeremy is a talented musician who writes and produces some dope music. Apart from that he runs a food truck in D.C. called the Tops Truck. If you’re ever in D.C. you’ve got to look the Tops truck up. Find it on twitter and you can find it in D.C. Their twitter tag is @TopsTrucks. I’m so proud to be a truckie and to sport the t-shirts these guys came up with. Killer design by @wahldesign .
I’m very happy to say that I’m working on a painting for Jeremy and his lovely wife Jo. I’m also happy to say that my friend Kendra finally got her painting. It’s the painting in the top right corner. Kendra’s painting is inspired by the fraternity of the unicorn. I’m not at liberty to tell you what that is.
Jeremy, thanks for your kind words and thanks for wanting to hang my work in your home. I’m honored. Kendra… ditto.

“El Paso to Laredo” Oil on Canvas, 24 x 36” On Saturdays, growing up, my Dad and I would watch old westerns and eat potato chips sometimes for whole afternoons. I’ve loved the Southwestern United States ever since. Now the Southwest is in a crisis facing increasing violence from drug cartels south of the border crossing over. So these paintings carry the influence of the Southwest because I carry it in my heart.
