Is Anybody Home? Jun 5

I have found out over the past couple weeks by some friends and relatives that certain people have tried to contact me via email to request some of my paintings and that I never responded back to them. Well, there must be a problem because I didn’t get a lot of those emails.

The old email address was info@nathanmonkart.com so if you sent an email to that one chances are I didn’t get it. We were having problems with that one and I don’t know why. I then changed my contact email to nathanmonkart@gmail.com and I have been able to receive emails for people requesting art just fine with that one.

If you were one of the individuals that requested a painting from me and I never got back to you, I apologize. It’s not that I don’t want to respond or don’t want you to have a painting; I just didn’t get the email. I apologize for this and especially apologize if the painting you wanted has since been given away. Please try again with the latest email address: nathanmonkart@gmail.com and hopefully that will work.

Once again, I apologize for any mix ups that have happened. I am still giving away my paintings for free and I look forward to spreading my work to as many people as possible.

My Art Is Nationwide Apr 11

As you may know, I donated two pieces of art to the Great Pit Ball event in Las Vegas that was held on March 14. From reading up on the event and looking at pictures, it was a success. I actually found a photo of my paintings chilling on a table waiting to be sold. Pretty awesome to see. You can see that here. They are the front two on the left.

This is a better photo of the two paintings I donated.

Left: “Through The Vibrance” Right: “Damien’s Worm”

I suggest you look around at more photos of the events and if you are interested in helping support the rescue, rehabilitation, and housing of abused and abandoned Pit Bulls, then check out Villalobos Rescue Center.

Started on a big 3’x4’ painting yesterday. Feels good to get expressive and chaotic on a large scale again. Pics coming soon.

Rainy Day Go Away Apr 5

Stuck inside all day and was barely able to work on anything new other than this guy.

I am debating on where to go next with it, especially the background. I want to incorporate some found objects but I don’t know if I want to add collage to this piece.

I was really productive yesterday as far as cleaning up my studio while my son played in the back yard. I am very messy and chaotic when I am creating and tend not to put things back when I am in the zone. Because of this, I spend a lot of time reorganizing and cleaning up after myself. I know it sounds crazy but it is almost therapeutic. I am the same way when it comes the interior of our house. We are always moving some piece of furniture around.

Here is another piece I recently finished entitled, Cephalic Hematoma. I am really happy with the way it turned out. Some relief going on. It is painted on donated wood from a friend and co-worker, Andy Owens. I appreciate all the help I can get.

Speaking of help, thanks again to Nikki for the Gift Cards to McAllisters! My wife and I are going to have a date night this week and we are definitely looking forward to it.

All of those who have Twitter, you can follow me (Nathan Monk or Molaropus) for random thoughts, and I mean random… Also, I am trying to get connected with more artist on there as well so if you know anyone good to follow let me know.

Time to brace ourselves for the snow!
