BACKROOM ARCHIVES - Is the result of me having to gain access to a GFI circuit behind my flat files. This messy event resulted in my finding a ton of work that has been ratted-away for many years.
I am taking this opportunity to re-visit, and list these (primarily) sketches and color studies from various concepts and series' over the years. Many of these are very old, but I feel like making them available at a reduced rate.
They are mostly unframed, but a few are ready-to-hang since they have been in various shows over the years. I would like to think you can find something here that is real, and historical (in my life anyway) and something that can be acquired to bring joy to your everyday life.
