Apologies for the lack of posts! I had spent the last couple months of 2014 focusing on my other site. 2015 began with me revisiting one of my favorite theme, dinosaurs. I’ve created a series of studies on wood panels and other random surfaces.

Slave to the Traffic Light

I’ve never really painted skulls, so this a nice practice. I plan to do more, on other surfaces as well. Recent trips to my parents house (and their requests to take my old stuff home with me) have yielded a treasure trove of old relics of my youth. I’ve been using some for installation pieces I’ve put up around Philly, but recently have been painting on them as well. This is starting to become a series of extinct animals on extinct items.
T-Rex
Acrylic on Nintendo cartidge (Super Team Games)
Tricertops
Acrylic and oil marker on Iomega Zip Drive (100mb)
Acrylic, Oil marker on floppy disk (Microsoft boot disk)
Herrerasaurus
Acrylic and oil marker on Legos
All work is available for sale, and I’m sure I’ll be making more of these in the future. A majority may end up as installations, but you can contact me (joseanriverafineart@gmail.com) for availability, or commissioned pieces.
