I’ve been working on Psychomachia show for 1 1/2 years now, and we have booked the opening at Perihelion Arts on March 31st of 2011.  It is a series of 14 pieces from myself and Arizona artist Jerry Portelli. 

I now have all 14
of the images completed. 

 This work reinterprets the Seven Deadly Sins and the Seven Holy Virtues in a series of 14 diptychs, one from me and one from artist Jerry Portelli.  The aesthetic theme is the sideshow freak from the circus and fairs of yesteryear–nature’s artwork, if you will. 

The crop of my new Greed image doesn’t really show much.  So, I thought I’d offer a glimpse of my inspiration for Greed:  The HermaphroditeThe Nymph Salmacis and Hermaphroditus by Francois-Joseph Navez

Enjoy!
