i'm putting up some older photos. trying to be chronological... sort of. this blog program is a bit limited so i can only do one photo per blog and i cant rearrange them after they're posted. so basically i'm going through my hard drive and when i find a photo i like i blog it up for you to see. one at a time. one day i'll try to put together something more formal and presentable. this is cool for now though.

this was right at the time (maybe like six months into it,) that i decided to only paint "robots." it think this was taken in november or december 2000. this is an image of a studio/gallery room that i put a bunch of work up in at VCU. this was the first time i really went nuts and just hung everything everywhere to try to take over an entire space. i made a bunch of tiny paintings and made crazy retarded pedestals for them out of scrap wood. one of the paintings was a 15x30 drop cloth. one of my professors called me a "formalist." he was right to a certain degree. i was totally in art school formal mode. experimenting with the forms of the robots and scale and using different materials. the color was arbitrary for the most part at this point. the robots were the consistent.
