Charles James: Artist

It’s Pandamonium Over Here! A little painting practice today. Trying to master a certain type of style I like but it’s a struggle for me. Practice makes perfect i guess! 🐼❤️🎨

Playing with pen & ink with watercolor today. Two iconic heavenly artists “represented” here. I’m no portrait painter but occasionally give it a shot. 🎨❤️

“Beyond the Veil”- work in progress. Summoning the ancient Native American spirits of the shadow world we all live in. Adding some color and other markings probably. ❤️🎨🙏🏽

Sometimes it’s nice to just splatter paint, glue wood, scrape, nail and attach crap to a canvas and give it a name. This one I call “The Song of Mother Nature” (written in the background)

Slingin’ paint on a rainy day. Just letting loose with no specific direction in mind. Sometimes it’s good to just paint!😂❤️🎨

In my new painting, “SponsoRed”, I blend multiple artistic styles to portray the transformation of art—from an expression born of passion, in the characters from“The Birth of Venus”…into the new world of Pop culture and the highly volitile “art world”. #art #artist #fineart #contemporaryart

@bsky.art “The Artist” - a little bit of a self portrait, in cubist style. A little multiple personality, mixed with artistic vision and crazy ideas. Notice the hand with LOTS of fingers for work and an extra long🖕middle finger. For lots a reasons.😂❤️🎨 #art #artist #artgram

Weekend in Paradise. Cabo San Lucas Mexico

The Broad Art Museum in LA. Got to see some of my favorite artists.

In my new painting, “SponsoRs”, I blend multiple artistic styles to portray the transformation of art—from an expression born of passion, in the characters from“The Birth of Venus”…into the new world of Pop culture and the highly volitile “art world”.

“Looking for salvation” Image I created to represent the fall of my self and soul into alcoholism and the rebirth that has followed. Four years strong on Jan 21. ❤️

Family time in NYC at Christmas! Always good to get together again!❤️❤️

Created this image representing the recreation of the self. Myself…. Jan 21, 2021 is my sober date.

Created this with prompts in Midjourney. Love the ethereal message of freedom of self.

Speaking of healthcare. Let's make @bsky.app the platform that fights misinformation. Some great follows are @drsusanoliver.bsky.social @jsm2334.bsky.social @therealtruther.bsky.social

Let's get them more followers and engagement than other platforms and let health science accounts find a home

I make a book every year of my work for the past 12 months. This year I have included 60 paintings in a 12”x12”, hard cover, 38 thick paged Fine Art Collection book.

Another one. Threaded some rusted wire through the wooden canvas panel.

So… this one is 12x12 at the moment but testing this technique to do larger versions. Boring? Cool? What do you think?

In my new painting, “The Divinities”, I blend multiple artistic styles to portray the transformation of art—from a sacred expression born of passion and creativity, essential to the human spirit—into a mere commodity.

“Inébranlable” : A French word that translates to “unshakeable” in English. Graphite, ink, acrylic paint, and paper collage on discarded cardboard.
