drawings

And so, new paintings. Also, drawings. I’ll be working with water-based mediums on paper over the winter. Crayons, pencils, paints. Inspired by those large-scale drawings on paper i saw in Austin.

make more art

As always, working on new paintings. Compelled by diptychs and triptychs these days. Putting in another order for more stretcher bars and paint, no matter the lean times. While waiting for the economy to settle and President Obama to take the stage in January? Make more art.

new representation

The new Beneveda Gallery in Beverly Hills, CA, is partnering with Moberg Gallery (my reps in Des Moines, IA). Interior designer Thomas Shoos is designing the space. Opening January 2009. Just sent a shipment of paintings. Stay tuned for pictures and stories.

murdza/mcclain: art + architecture

Attended 4Culture's Portland information session about public art with my creative partner Logan McClain. He’s an architect with Soderstrom Architects. And we've got big plans. Taking on a carport/porch art install and renovation as our first project. Stay tuned for process diary and model shots as we have them.
