Getting all blessed be on ya!!!

some little hood-rat tagged over the juniors mural so I touched it up. Feeling fresh and new. It's a good morning to drink champaign. 

Below are some pictures I took over the winter. Despite all the stress, of daily life, running around like crazy, and trying to scratch up enough money to stay fed and all, I have these moments , maybe everyday, when I look out at the world and am just blown away to be here, alive at all, and with eyes to look at it, feet on my legs and breathable air all around. I wonder if I would forget that I had ever felt such free joy if I didn't have a camera on my phone to always freeze these moments.

New Work this February up at Alberta Streets very own Cruz Room!!!

you cant spell dork without ORC, phonetically anyway.

This is the kind of awesome stuff I can only draw when I am subbing in middle schools. I was in a room full of autistic teenage boys all day, and this is what happened. This survival strategy would keep me alive in prison for at least a week. I would just have to draw a lot more gangster orcs.

I found this image of a painting i did a couple of years ago, and realized I had never posted it. I won't lie to you, I think it's super beautiful, however it does go to show that sometimes you get so caught up in the painting of tiny flowers on a print dress or a bird nest in the misty trees that you fail to notice you gave the girl white Gregg Oden hands. Doops! I think I remember convincing myself that they looked ok at the time. Never Again! From here on out I will pledge my life to being a master of dainty hands.

Sketch Book update.

Here's my beautiful wife driving us all out to stay at our friends cabin, and below a comic I drew with the girls while we sat around drinking tea and playing star-wars trivia. Also included are some other little tidbits from the adventures of shadowleaf (circle with a c in it) and the D part of Run DMC. As well as a girl in a vent and a whale in the air.

birds of prey. diptych is a funny word, but thats what you call two paintings.

 Jacob Wooton, That's who I am, and if my theories are correct, than this image will appear when you google search me.  Because thats what it takes nowadays. You gotta be one step ahead. Don't worry there's always someone behind you to be one step ahead of, they just happen to be mostly infants.

finished this tiger last week. Success! ..in it's way.

I painted it onto the bottom of an old drawer I found laying in a heap by my friends house. When you are always on the lookout for junk to paint on, there are sometimes moments when you wonder if you weren't just stealing someone else's special junk. I had a guy yell at me for looking through the trash behind Office Max once. He told me I was stealing if I took anything out of their trash. They actually break and cut all the crap they have to throw away at the end of the year, to reduce their inventory before taxes. It seems like they could get just as good of a wright off by donating it to charity or something. I don't get it. Add it to the list of stuff I don't get I guess.

I love my basement.

another month up at EASTBURN! New Paintings!

I've been copying images from this big book of african animals I got from the library. Now i have to return the book so I don't get fined. I need to score some new animal books at goodwill, so I don't have to think about what to paint. Last week i got a cool book on WWII airplane nose art. Thats awesome and brainless. I am using some of those images to do a bunch of mini-paintings on wood, also this space book Nolan gave me and the usual Jaque Custou type of stuff.
