The Zombies never stop


A commission for a derby friend! She and her gentleman friend met at the Zombie Pub Crawl a year ago and each of them didn't find out what the other looked like without zombie make-up until the next day! So cute!

Lupo's project, part two!


Next up was Ronnie James Dio, lead singer of various metal bands including Black Sabbath, Rainbow, and DIO. I love Dio for the bands that he influenced and the genre he helped create. Rock on in Valhalla, Dio. Or the Elysian Fields. Wherever it is that heroes go. Details:


Distortion from the digital camera is regrettable, but there was no place in my house that I could stand the portraits up to take a good photo. They are roughly 8 feet tall. NEXT: George Harrison!

No, really, what are you doing in the basement?

For the past month and a half I've been hiding out in my basement, not posting any new work, skipping practices, talking to a volleyball, etc. but I assure you it's all in the name of art. A fellow artist (http://www.mylesdunigan.com/) and I are working on large-scale memorial portraits of musical icons for Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel, Providence's landmark nightclub and music venue. One of the club's hallmarks is its collection of memorial portraits, all life-sized and displayed throughout.
My first was James Brown, the godfather of soul and hardest-working man in show business. Detail shots:

Market Research!

Okay, so: Which t-shirt would you wear, if you were a male roller derby player or fan of men's derby?






And here's what I wish I wore every day.
