let’s see, what’s happened since august? well, one thing is that i sold this piece!

“Exit Perspective” – 96″ x 18″, spray paint on steel

notice the back color. that violet gave the piece a good color-bounce-shadow that was a good contrast to the green on the front. i talked a little bit about the reason behind painting the reverse side a contrasting color back in october of 08.

closer look at my “signature”:

there are very subtle fades of greens and yellows at the bottom of this piece that are nearly impossible to photograph:

speaking of fades. the black toward the top of the piece is krylon ultra flat black. man, ultra flat black has got to be one of the best colors ever invented. notice how the ultra flatness of the spray paint makes the glossy black of the paint marker lines look almost brown. that’s how black this stuff is. WHY, OH WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DISCONTINUE THIS COLOR KRYLON?! WHY?!!!!

a closer shot of the grainy beauty of ultra flat black. this stuff is like velvet. it’s just a beautiful paint. it almost makes me sick that krylon no longer makes it.*

*well, krylon does still make a paint called ultra flat black, but it’s not the same as the old one. in fact, compared to the old one, the new ultra flat black is complete garbage! krylon should be ashamed.

anyway, thank you to the couple who now owns “exit perspective”, and thank you david at objct gallery for showing my work.
