Chris the Minotaur

Drawing of three women at a table with one naked and looking at a phone, the second slouched but looking menacingly straight at the viewer with a finger in her goblet. The third is shrouded in shadow with dark eyes, looking off stage down and left and smoking a cigarette. An ashtray rests between the goblet and the resting hand with the cigarette.

the three muses. Drawing from 2012 apprx 32" across I think. I liked drawing with big graphite sticks on heavy, toothy printmaker's rag paper.

Started some gritty contemporary classical Greek scenes. probably gone. thinking of "re-doing" this series of drawings.

funny—didn't like it then. Do now

Four small still life paintings of cow skulls put togethed into one work.

Rare colour dominant work by me. Done in Mexico in 2015.

Been messing around with AI, making videos and short stories.

The process makes me feel less like an artist and more like an executive producer.

An artist's bare leg covered in paint strokes.

My friend absent-mindedly uses her leg as a paint rag when she works

Found this poor creature and set up a macro lens based work.

Clip art photo of businessman leaning over woman at desk suggestively. She is pulling on tie. I drew a crude mask on her and a blurry bull head on him.

CEO, 2013
This is an early digital art work involving clip art photo and my minotaur theme. Was fun to do with crude tools.

I guess there will be no more clip art now with AI, so this work is of a time and place.

...so who is the CEO here?

Frozen confluence, 2018
Was about-45c that day and the peak of daylight. Street photography up north is different.
