I adore your RoboCop watercolor series. By chance do you have originals or prints for sale of any of them?

Thanks, it's nice to know that content isn't a barrier to connect and resonate with people. As long as one can appreciate the technique and artwork for it is, is all that matters.

Best!

I completely agree! I love the water color technique how in some places it seems restricted to a certain form but in other parts its free to run where it wants

You have to control and let it do it's own thing at the same time. I try to balance the pieces out wild and free flowing watercolors with tighter more controlled pen strokes on top.

that is a very poetic way to put it, I am actually considering giving water color a try although I don't know where to start, most things I read online say you should buy this and that and it seems expensive just to experiment with, I have been thinking about just buying the "basic" water color set just to see how it turns out,

any suggestions on where to start/what to buy?

I use a cheap crayola set and decently priced brushes...cold press 140 lb paper, I like it heavier with a nice tooth to it. 90 lb. is too flimsy and tends to bubble up when it gets too wet.

you use cheap paint? I would have never guess it because the quality seems great, thanks for the tips!

Only a poor artist blames his tools, remember that. It's not the tool it's the skill and passion.

I love your paintings! Magnificent and a very interesting modern approach. Excellent work.

Nobody makes movies like this now (and only Paul Verhoeven really perfected the 80s actioner) -- the perfect blend of action, humor and satire. I hope you've seen his amazing dutch WWII movie Black Book.

I haven't seen Black Book, but I whole-heartily agree...They just can't make movies like this nowadays. The over the top action, the struggle between man and machine, the social satire...it works so well in Verhoeven's movies, especially his gem...ROBOCOP.

Thanks for compliments!
