#KingdomComeDeliverance2 I love how weird and quirky and hilarious this game is. I’m addicted to just running around listening to people’s conversations 🤣🖖

Discovered Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 and forgot all about this place. Sorry not sorry 🤷‍♂️ I love everything about this game…except the combat. I hate it. I HATE the garbage combat. I hate it I hate it I hate it. Ima go play play KCD2 now kbyeee 🖖

A painting from Feb 5th, 2019 4.5 hours 11x14” oil on panel

Welp! I’ve definitely been sleeping on Indiana Jones and The Great Circle. This game is FANTASTIC!

Upgrades! Locking tuners, new string trees, and a new tremolo bridge with brass block & saddles. Now to do a setup…

The more I mod these guitars the more I wanna get into doing custom paint and inlay work. How come I always gotta choose the expensive hobbies??? Anyways here’s some oil paintings I did like 6 years ago…

Spent the last day or so fine tuning the setups on my babies, and now they play wonderfully 🥰 Also: does anyone else name their guitars? Or am I just weird? I mean I know I’m weird…

To date…I have seen no convincing evidence that we actually have ‘free will’. And that is at once completely terrifying, and totally freeing. Also: here is a painting I made. Perhaps one I was always going to have made 🤔

Just someone I painted…

What a character! And what a great show. I truly wish there had been more than one season of this cast 😞

#scifi #art I miss the Stargate franchise. So much 😞 11x14” oil on canvas, 2019

#music #art Got two of the guitars hung just outside my studio, so now it’s time to make some paintings to fill out the rest of the wall space. I gave this painting away years ago…but am thinking of doing another for this wall. Get the full art and music inspiration before I enter every day 😍🙏🖖

#music #guitar Okay…neck/headstock re-sanded & oiled, fretboard conditioned, and awaiting new parts. Gold locking tuners on their way, but can’t afford new tremolo until next month, so gonna hang until then. Been playing Spoon essentials non-stop, but need new playlist. What should it be?👇

On January 23, 2019, I was feeling truly alone in the universe. Today…I have more guitars. 🤷‍♂️🖖 (“Alone”, 16x20” oil on canvas)

#art A hand painted pencil box I made once…

Gonna start the makeover on this cheapie Strat…first up is sanding the back of the neck and refinishing, and sanding the headstock for a custom paint job. Then locking tuners, new string trees. Once all of that is done then it’s time for a new bridge, saddles - mixed metals to match these knobs.

Mood: ecstatic #music: Spoon I have LONG wanted a black on black Gilmour-esque Strat…but I just didn’t like the blonde maple necks on such a dark guitar. Enter the Sweetwater exclusive Metallic Black Squier Affinity 😍 It’s gorgeous, and I am actually a little shocked how much I like the trem! 🙏🖖

#art While the video is dated January 23, 2019…I’m pretty sure the painting was actually completed in 2018, and this is just the oldest video I have of it 🤔🤷‍♂️🖖

We binged “Culinary Class Wars”…which aside from the constant drama was really addicting We were dismayed at the outcome, though, both feeling Edward Lee clearly won This is based on our expert level tastesmellivision skills acquired from 👀 many seasons of Top Chef & the Great British Bake Off 😉🤷‍♂️🖖

Added a couple guitars to my collection, but don’t have room in the studio to let them sit on stands in here 😞 This wall outside my studio has been a kind of overflow for paintings, but am going change it to hang a couple guitars. Thought I’d share the paintings there before they head to storage…🖖

#scifi #art Once I started painting full time, it didn’t take long before I ran out of wall space and had to start storing paintings on the floor 😳 December 11th, 2019

#science #art “Pillars” was a request that came from across the pond, and led to one of my other favorite projects of all time. Science has always been a major influence on my life & work, and it has been a pleasure creating so many works to honor it 🙏🖖 11x14” oil on canvas, December 26, 2018

#scifi #art It was after doing this painting that I decided I wanted to get *really* good at portraiture. Mark even liked it on the bird app back when I was actually over there. That soooo made my day. It’s the little things 🙏🖖 8x10” oil on canvas, August 14, 2018

#art “The way I see it, life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things or make them unimportant” ~ 11th 16x20” oil on canvas, April 26, 2018

Continuing on with a look at some old paintings… Here’s one from April 1, 2018 16x20 oil on canvas

I freakin’ love Sweetwater 😁🖖

#artist What my studio looked like on Dec 9, 2018…

Wife’s guitar arrived! Looks amazing, sounds FANTASTIC 😻

On episode 100 of 148 of the JHS Show. I think that’s the equivalent of a Master’s in both guitar pedals AND delicious funky adult contemporary top 40 groove rock.

I *think* I painted this back in 2015…but the first picture of it I have is Feb 18, 2017 🤷‍♂️ Either way, you’re one of the cool kids if you know who it is 👍🖖

something wicked this way comes

Still have guitar stuff on my workbench, so here’s another art from the archive… This is acrylic on reclaimed cardboard and shipping paper (that brown stuff), that was pressed and gessoed to form a nice rigid painting surface. Gives it kind of a fun random texture. I get bored 🤷‍♂️😉🖖

Using the last year as comparison: Fender definitely has far superior customer service to Amazon. The one down side is Fender uses FedEx…who has screwed up every time. But Amazon shipping has gotten almost as bad, costs more. So our new Starcaster was ordered Fender direct, arriving Monday 😁🖖

It’s about to be a great day 😍🖖

Best affordable/budget loop pedal?

Okay…so my first guitar mod project. I didn’t want to muck up a nice instrument while I learned, so I got the cheapest one I could find 🤷‍♂️ This NotAStrat is from GEARIT, who I’d never heard of. And straight out of the box…I saw a big problem. So I’ve got it on the bench, and am gettin’ to work 👍🖖

Figured I should throw out an art quick since my painting station is gonna be a guitar bench for a little while… I don’t do a lot of paintings for myself, but when I do, it’s often times a Van Gogh. This 11x14” oil on wood panel hangs just outside my studio to inspire me every time I reach my door😌

I think since no one here follows my art, I’m gonna spend my studio time this week with my guitars. Have two that need setting up, and gonna start modding the notastrat. Should be a lot of fun 😁

Just heard Deep Sea Diver for the first time today, and ngl… I diggin’ it 👍🖖

1st time around I didn’t use pedals, had an Alesis Quadraverb GT as my only effects. This time around I’m taking a pedal journey. Now…I’m on a budget so my first pedals are all from the least $$$ end of spectrum, but it’s a start. About to set up my board. This is the most fun I’ve had in YEARS!😁
