Hello hello,
First of all, I need to say that I'm listening to DJ Said, of FatSouls records. Oh my, oh my! I am a child of Deep House, so this is up my alley, but DJ Said is from Nigeria, and knows the Afrobeat. You must listen to him. Period. I cannot explain what he does. Anyways, here's another painting in the process. It is based loosely on people dancing, or flying..floating. Yeah, it's pretty abstract right now. Tune in Tune in. Oh yeah, DJ Said is living in San Francisco, so when he plays I will definitely notify the masses...to move those...you know.
So,
Here's an update on the Heart painting. I'm still painting a couple pieces at a time, which ends up being really fun. Again, the focus is on the anatomy, or the body as a whole. This process will stick with me for awhile. Why? The body is so fascinating and complex, that it provides enough wonder and interest to want to study it over a lifetime. I hope to understand more physiology, so that I will know what exactly is going on when I paint it. Yes, by the way, the How Weird Street Festival was yesterday, and though I didn't get any pictures, I can say, it was nuts! Yes, electronic music, and dancing in the streets always gets me! Thank you for tuning in. See you soon.
Welcome back.
So, this is my next update of the bike sculpture print. I'm really excited to nail this down. I burnt the screen for 30 min. with a 150 watt bulb, at a distance of 18". I still got a hotspot, as you can see in the print, but I feel so close. Almost there! I just got some good advice from a friend, and I think the next burn will be it! Stay tuned...
Hello Everyone,
I have another new painting in the works. It's of this pomegranete that I had been saving, because it looked so cool. It had nice textures, and colors in the skin. Well, I kept it for a little too long, without eating it, and it proceeded to become bumpy and sucked in. It was disintegrating from the inside out. Well, I still liked the way it looked, maybe even more now. This is a work in progress. I've been painting this one by throwing splotches and dots onto the canvas, and allowing the colors to make sense as they go. It's been super fun. More to come...

Here's a new painting I'm working on. I don't have a name for it, in reality. I just am fascinated by the body. Obvious. It will become obvious with a little time. I will definitely document its progress, as time goes on. Yes. Acrylic on canvas on a 2' x 2' square. Word. Stay tuned.
Alright, so...here's a little something I'd like to show you. It's a silkscreen print. I know, I know, this blog is called " Stenciled t-shirts by Effe " , and everything, but a silkscreen is like a stencil if you think about it. So this shirt was really fun cause it was a collaboration between me and my friend Sam. It was cool, and although I took a long time coming up with the design, I'm really happy with it. Sam gets hers wednesday, and the one in the picture...well , I'm keeping. I will put another post on etsy as soon as I get a nice picture taken. Stay tuned...
