Nolan is always around, so eventually I had to paint him. He’s retro rock ’n’ roll in this mugshot, which makes me laugh, because he’s so NOT a bad boy. Levi DropI’m a writer living in Los Angeles, making emojis of faces I find on Instagram. When I get a moment, I paint portraits on canvases […]
MOTORHEAD 2014. Oil and acrylic on wood | 25″ x 24″ I started this portrait with the idea of a quiet man, who was good with his hands, knew how to fix things and keep his beard straight. Levi DropI’m a writer living in Los Angeles, making emojis of faces I find on Instagram. When I […]
I sold a painting. I lent my paintings to decorate a common area in a new media company. When I went to retrieve them, the office manager liked looking at one of them enough to buy it. Levi DropI’m a writer living in Los Angeles, making emojis of faces I find on Instagram. When I get […]
Tiny Gallery | Williamsburg. I was watching Nolan paint his Fruta Fresca series, which were made of wooded slats that resembled a fruit crate. I told him he should scramble the slats to create a new image. He didn’t do it, so I did, which was the start of my Reconstruction Series. Levi DropI’m a […]
The Portrait of Nolan. I had wanted to paint Nolan for a while. We had worked together at a startup where I took mugshots of the team. I like that photo of him because he looks so different now. He was so Rockabilly. REBEL | 2014 Oil and acrylic on wood 24″ x 17″ Levi […]
The Heavy J.C. Leyendecker created these painting in the twenties, where the edges of the image disappeared. He knew what not to draw, to make the things he actually drew somewhat more important. This is my homage to his idea of leaving well enough alone. Levi DropI’m a writer living in Los Angeles, making emojis […]
Man & Machine. I wanted the images to relate to the media, which were two pieces of wood, one rough and weathered and the other crisply finished. I rendered of the portrait to change at the border between old and new. Levi DropI’m a writer living in Los Angeles, making emojis of faces I find on […]
The Portrait of Todd. I accidentally painted a fairly good portrait of Todd. It centered around his pensive stair and this giant spark plug. Incidentally, Todd is very into cars.

Russell’s come undone. Originally, this painting was three squares. Then I combined it into two rectangles. Finally one piece. But, I thought there was one thing left to do to make it complete.

A Man in New York City. Russell had lost his shirt and he knew he was going to freckle. His pink skin had been hot to the touch upon entering the F train, but the icy blast of air-conditioning now had him chilled Levi DropI’m a writer living in Los Angeles, making emojis of faces I find […]

Williamsburg. I found this photo of a Williamsburg hipster and made a sketch. I didn’t know where I was going with this painting series so I had to start somewhere. I was strangely fascinated by deer tattoos. I didn’t know it was a thing until I google it. Levi DropI’m a writer living in […]
Painting in the Workshop. Nolan kept bugging me to paint, so I succumbed to peer pressure and started building canvases. Came across this image in a copy of Vanity Fair Magazine, dug out my oils and remembered that I sort of know how to draw. Levi DropI’m a writer living in Los Angeles, making emojis […]
