I was too broke to buy one, and have kicked myself ever since. Any chance you will have any on etsy or e-bay soon? Or can paint on a redi-whip can I found crushed like a pancake a couple years back? Thanks, Nancy Hi Rik,

I recently staerted a series of smashed can pieces. so.. I was attracted to your paintings. I xerox the can on a copy machine then blow it up bigger on the large format #" wide paper machine at kinkos. It is used primarily by people copying blueprints of houses and yards etc. I wallpaper paste the paper to plexi or plywood, sometimes using tempera or dye to color, wipe of etc so that the paper gets dyed. the paste Has to be dried to avoid tears rips etc Once dried again I cover with ACE hardware spar varnish to seal , darken age etc. Rough application with drips texture ... when dry I frame, cans have been in 3 separate frames. I also blow up fragments of newspaper and old mens magazine ads. The current piece is 2 plywood sheets 36' x 58' that started as a 3/4" square of image. I will mail a cd or attach images if you like.

I thought, man this guy is doing something with a computer or he's got a surgeon's hand. I've always loved your work and I'm glad that you use print-outs on your art, that makes me feel unashamed if I do so. I'm all about the final product. Keep it up you always inspire me to "think outside the box" per say. :) You know, I always wondered how you got such smooth lines on your artwork.
