acrylic and mixed media collage on canvas, 9” x 12”, 2021

As an educator, I teach about using art to access our emotions and using our emotions to create meaningful art. The pandemic has been tough for all of us. This painting is an artifact of my own process as I ask, “How do we hold this?”

acrylic on canvas, 12” x 12”

It was years ago that I first painted this canvas in class with a live model. The composition was always pretty good - with another student in the class peaking out from behind their easel - but it felt a bit stale. Now I’ve revived this painting with brighter colors and a bit more life overall.

As with all of my work, the sides are painted black so this will look nice on the wall without a frame.

acrylic and mixed media collage on canvas, 18” x 24”, 2021

The sides include artifacts from the 2016 workshop where the roots of this painting were created.

This painting began using art created by after school teachers in a workshop I taught on behalf of the San Francisco Department of Children, Youth, and their Families. The participants did some scribbling and cut out shapes to represent the feelings and values they wanted to offer the young people they worked with. The composition evolved over time as I tried to make it all work as a painting, but the sentiments remain.

from $40.00

You provide 1-2 photographs and Todd will create a 4” x 6” custom drawing to send to someone awesome. When you purchase, you will be asked questions about your order, but you can also email Todd to clarify the details.

You will also be asked how weird you want your custom art to be on a scale from 1-5 where “1” is a “Straightforward pretty accurate scribbly marker drawing” and “5” is “Go crazy with these images, let’s see what comes out.” Whatever you choose, the combination of your ideas and my drawings will be a fun collaborative process.

Choose between sending the drawing as a postcard ($40), sending it in an envelope ($42), or putting it in a black wood frame ($45).

Prices for the envelope or postcard option includes postage. For a framed drawing, select “Priority mail for framed 4" x 6" drawings” when checking out to pay $10 for shipping (or choose to “pick the art up in San Francisco”).

The frames are from Ikea. They are simple wood frames, painted black, with glass. They come with holes and a peg that lets them stand in portrait or landscape orientations or could be hung from a small nail in the wall. The frames are slightly smaller than 4” x 6” with openings that measure 3.375” x 5.375”.
