This is a sketch, done in a 2012 American Express Appointment Book, as a part of my ongoing “Daily Derriere” series. The forms were suggest by the map they were drawn upon.
This is an acrylic paint sketch, done in a 2012 American Express Appointment Book, as a part of my ongoing “Daily Derriere” series. I’m calling it “The Hulk” because (I’m told) Google search algorithms rank image posts higher if they include a title and text.
The second piece is a re-draw I did this morning (082116) that is more what I speculate the Hulk might actually look like if caught naked and posing just so. In fact, that would be a great idea for a Hulk adventure.
In my ongoing quest for abstraction and simplicity, I think I achieved apotheosis. A posterior depicted in 6 straight (or almost straight) lines and 2 circles. I executed this by painting the rim of a bowl and pressing it down twice. The lines were similarly done by painting and pressing a sheet of chip board.
This is another foray into simplicity, using the legs and buttocks of some hypothetical man as my subject.
This is the third in a series of acrylic paintings I did in my DAILY DERRIERE sketchbook on August 11, 2013. I’m spacing them out over the 3 days before August 11, 2016.

I did no new works in the DAILY DERRIERE sketchbook for 3 days, then did 3 paintings in on day, August 11, 2013. I’m posting the August 11 painting on 3 consecutive days, starting today. I was using up leftover paint from a painting-on-canvas, probably “Horuborus”. “Horuborus” was a present for my fiancé’, Richard Rangel. I had begun the painting in 2012 or early 2013. I had a stroke in April 2013, and was unsure if I’d ever be able to finish the painting. I had lost the use of my left arm for almost a year; luckily I’m right handed. However, standing up for any length of time was difficult. Apparently, by mid-August 2013, I was recovered enough to complete “Horuborus”. I know I was recovered enough to go back to my job on September 1st of that year.
Flaming Artist, Austin Texas, Buttocks; these are my keywords. Another is”American Express Appointment Book”, which I used to make this series of drawings in. This is the 2012 edition.
To fill in the gaps in my DAILY DERRIERE series that I executed in 2013, using a 2012 AMERICAN EXPRESS APPOINTMENT BOOK as my sketchbook, I’m posting a drawing from a 1994 journal. During this period in the early-ish 90’s, for a couple years, I did my daily journal on the backs of photocopies that I hole-punched and put in binders. One can see the ghost-image of the reverse side, which I haven’t taken the time to fully obliterate.
For the next month or so, most of the DAILY DERRIERE drawings will be taken from my dedicated DAILY DERRIERE sketchbook, done in 2013. Each days post will be taken from a drawing I did exactly 3 years ago on any given day. As with THE DAILY DICK series I executed and posted in 2012, I did the drawings in a re-purposed American Express Appointment Book from 2012. This appealed to my sense of perversity. Also, the shitty quality of the paper stock kept me from being too precious, too perfectionist, which I found artistically liberating. In the DAILY DICK series, it took me a couple of months to realize I could interact with the printed material in the book instead of trying to ignore it.
