Brian paints in bold color, and he tells it straight. Three of the paintings on this wall were made for a sushi restaurant: a kaiju who likes his sushi cooked, a black cat with somebody else's ramen, and a samurai who left the fish no chance. The manager loved the first one so much he bought it before it reached the wall.
Some paintings start with Salvador Dali and end up somewhere else. Some are his cubism style, as he calls it, built from a picture he saw in his mind. Two are the two sides of an onyx tablet found in Hidalgo, Mexico: "I only added the color; everything else is accurate." Two are pour paintings, the first and the last: "They said start with a small canvas and practice. Of course I did not listen and started with a huge canvas."
The worlds come from his own. He is an old rocker who grew up on Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath and got a vision of Tool's music being passed around on other planets. He has owned a Mustang, a Camaro and a C6 Corvette Grand Sport, and a few crotch rockets back in the day, so there is a Corvette flying through the desert at midnight and a ride through a city. He lives in the desert in Las Vegas, and the desert keeps showing up.
Then there is the robot. "This was my first robot cubism style. A friend and I later came up with the Robot 10 10 name. I am now creating more Robot 10 10 style pieces, as I love this concept." The robot is where the next pieces start.
"I have had the feeling that time is speeding up and every year is going by quicker and quicker. Maybe that is why I have been making so much artwork lately." The paintings come first, and the site is arranged to let them be seen whole.
