We're Moving On Now

With the commissioned piece finally finished, I’ve started another painting.

Also, I’m about halfway through The Joke’s Over, by Ralph Steadman, (click to check out his site, it’s out of control) who is one of my favorite artists, and longtime friend of Hunter S Thompson.

Read it. Note that I just hung this poster in the basement bedroom of my house:
