How to Varnish A Painting: In this video, I varnish a painting I recently completed in another video. Two varnishes are discussed: Gamblin’s Gamvar and Winsor & Newton’s Brillant. Varnish is tricky, but varnishing is trickier. Everything you need to know as a painter.

The piece of music for this video is "Lullaby in Chalk" from my latest Bandcamp album, Ancient Astronauts.

 

Aspergers and Monsters We take a gallery tour of my large scale paintings, past and present, as seen through the lens of Aspergers.

 

Icarus Transfigured | The Prologues: Something has happened in the middle of the night, but it is so subtle in nature that Aiden cannot see or understand it. It is both terrifying and beautiful, so we are introduced to its haunted world gradually, through first a sleep, then a forgetting, and lastly a coming from afar.

 

Icarus Transfigured | Chapter 1 | Heaven and Hell: Aiden has quit his job as a night janitor. He is about to start a new chapter in his life. As he prepares to leave behind his bleak boarding house and peeping tom neighbor, he discovers that a mysterious new tenant is moving into this insufferable hell as he is moving out.

His fear of change haunts his nightmare that evening. What (or who) is this lurking presence that takes up the role of his traveling companion?

 

Icarus Transfigured | Chapter 2 | The Labyrinth: Aiden meets his best friend Omar before his impending move to a new town. A gift house has been given to the artist by way of a mysterious benefactor, and Omar, forever protective of his gullible friend, lays out a map for how he should navigate this unfamiliar landscape.
