Getting ready for Europe… Man I hope they Love the new work.

It seem my children really enjoy playing in Norway. So much so many have decided to stay and make it their home. These kids just hopped on a first class flight to Galleri Galleberg last week. I’m sure they’re gonna like their new home.

I sure do!

And, damn it, Nobody’s gonna give it to them! And So, Im in the studio on LABOR DAY, putting in work! The Child in me still believes in the power of LOVE. How about YOU? As for these “new” URBAN DERIVATIVES… If you see something you want, say something as they will be going to Norway by the end of the week.

This is one of the new paintings I’ve begun to work on inspired by the works of Gustav Vigeland.

Seems I’m Already allowing the cultural aspects of my trip to Norway to influence my art. Expect more. TMNK

Objective journalism, or more double talk? Seems The racial divide continues to grow every time some ill-informed pinhead opens his or her mouth. It’s 2010, and still race is  a factor? Damn, SAMO.

Lead don’t follow is the expression. And I take great pride in doing just that. So, next month (August 28th) I’ll be premiering my new URBAN DERIVATIVE PAINTINGS in a solo exhibition at Din Ramme og Galleri Galleberg. But, in the meantime I couldn’t help but give a taste via some works on paper to my peeps, the loyal somebodys that hold me down, Shows or no shows.

And they’re getting snatched up by savvy collectors here and abroad, cool. I’ll explain more about what “Urban Derivative” means after the opening in Oslo, Norway. Until then, I hope you’ll continue to enjoy and feast upon these new works.

Thanks.

Aiiight, so by now, many of you know, I’ve been working on a new direction I call “URBAN DERIVATIVES.”  This is one of the newest ones created during the midst of our heat wave. It’s not quite finished yet. Hopefully you’ll dig it when it’s finished.

The future of our world is being built here, in the minds of our children. Perhaps we should require building permits and regular inspections. - – TMNK
