Elstabo's Canvas

1009 princess Ave Ill be horsing around along with my art work and some good artist out in old downtown Fredericksburg VA.. ..man I hope the pitch fork mob doesnt come after me... the conservative folks there will have a rude awaking when I arrive on the scene...lol

Oral Addiction oil on canvas 4x12 I know that shes bad for me but I keep coming back to her Dangerous pleasures that keeps me in a tight grip the taste of true addiction...

I will be showing in California with a group of awesome artist curated by Andi Garcia. July 14

Sometimes I'll start out with an idea..but along the line..it sort of changes into something else...I wonder sometimes how and why it happens...but  I do know this much..I should not fight it...and just let it happen. most of the time it will be better than what I had originaly planned. ( of course others will argue that statement)... ;)

My work will be on exhibit along with a great list of artist this June 2 at the Work house in Lorton VA.

The 80s was big on Martial arts flicks, I could remember American film companies jumping into it with mediocre Ninja films of all sorts, - (Chuck Norris, Micheal Dudikoff cheer leading  the way). I love them yes, even the corney ones...but if I had to suggest good japanese martial art stuff I would suggest these two (from my collection) starting with most recent favorite. 13 Assassins and the classic Shogun Assassin ...theres nothing better than listening to men get cut to pieces and blood splatting across the screen while in the studio- painting!.
