40" x 30" I wanted to get this big guy done before heading out on Europe tour. Started w blues and then added green and pink with gold pen highlights for the background. Then using a palette knife and various colors, made the koi "pads," then used pens for the fish. I like how it turned out. I guess I'm in my "koi" phase...

I've been messing around with this approach and doing various things with it. I felt like this one should just be like it is. I like the movement, composition and color."

Contact Brian for pricing & availability →"This started as a solid orange background, then streaks of blue, then loaded up the palette knife. I thught the shapes looked like Koi fish, so I ran with it. I like this one as the third of the Koi series."
Contact Brian for pricing & availability →"I've been working with gold a lot lately. I love it against some blue. I loaded the palatte knife with some gold and green. Voila. Another koi fish."
Contact Brian for pricing & availability →"I really dig this one. It was the first time I thought 'this looks like an ACTUAL koi fish' so I googled koi fish image and found a line drawing that inspired me. I really dig how the background came to life."
Contact Brian for pricing & availability →"This is an extension of what my buddy Chad asked me to paint. Its a riff on the first attempt at the Pink Floyd album 'Wish you were here.' I let the juices flow and ended up somewhere between there and dark side."
Contact Brian for pricing & availability →"My buddy Chad asked if I could do a section of the Pink Floyd album 'Wish you Were Here." I liked this part of the cover the best. Every time I look at it, I see something else. Not only a great album, but great imagery."
Contact Brian for pricing & availability →Experimenting with palette knife, colors, and gold outlining. I also recently discovered an artist called Spark on IG and I took a page out of his play book to make these creatures. I thought the main character looked like a Newt."
Contact Brian for pricing & availability →"Arguably one of *the most* influential albums of my youth: Smashing Pumpkins/Siamese Dream. This is a zoom in on the album cover. Go listen to that album right now and tell me it isnt a masterpiece."
Contact Brian for pricing & availability →"Another incredibly influential album from the 90s. Mad Season/Above. This album is dark, raw, and exploratory. Mastery. Lane Staley was a phenom." 6"x6"
Contact Brian for pricing & availability →"Super happy accident.. I was attempting to do something else, and this happened. I didnt have the heart to mess with it. This is the closest I can get to watercolor" 6"x6"
Contact Brian for pricing & availability →"Lots to unpack here... Palette knife, line drawing, cityscape." 30" x 24" (August 2026)
Contact Brian for pricing & availability →"This one is a bridge between my cityscape phase and my abstract phase. I started to let go of realism while still embracing some grid structure. I love the mountains and color choices. He's a big Johnny. Lives in my bedroom currently." 4'x2'
Contact Brian for pricing & availability →"My first big attempt at a background that wasnt dark. At this point, still using tape for hard edges, palette knife, and color matches. Gold outlines." 3'x3'
Contact Brian for pricing & availability →"Maybe the final evolution of my horizon/cloud phase. This is the beginning of the end of my cityscape phase. I was also a little intimidated by the sheer size of the canvas. At this point, still using tape for hard lines, but starting to loosen my grip on reality." 4'x2'
Contact Brian for pricing & availability →"Oh yeah, just full on releasing all preconceived notions. Starting to explore abstract, but also not ready to let go of clouds or mountains just yet. Those things seemed to bring me some center. Buckle up. Also the first time I used a center of perspective with a sun." 3'x3'
Contact Brian for pricing & availability →"One of my first 'abstract' paintings in large format. Flat back background with some color highlights and then I went wild with tape and palette knife colors. This reminded me of a Koi pond... Not sure why." 4'x2'
Contact Brian for pricing & availability →"Into my abstract phase with tape and palette knife. In search of an idea for a merch item for my Live from Laurel Canyon show, I thought an original piece of art would sell better than trucker hats and t-shirts. Not sure I nailed it, but this is the start of an idea. I also started experimenting with writing actual lyrics from the show. Would anyone buy this print at the merch table?" 3'x2'
Contact Brian for pricing & availability →"Maybe the first time I used a sun as a center point. I noticed a darkness and a lightness to this painting. I was considering ideas on how to use song themes from Live from Laurel Canyon as jumping off points for paintings. I knew this one was related to 'Fire and Rain' by James Taylor. Ms. Holly Pyle did the rest by adding lyrics and her own style. I thought it was a cool collaboration. Also the first time I incorporated actual fire and rain into the piece." 3'x2': Collaboration with Holly Pyle
Contact Brian for pricing & availability →"'Is everything okay' was what my nephew Charlie said when he saw this painting for the first time. He was maybe 10 at the time. Not sure what I said in response, but I thought it was a good title for this piece. This one started and stopped several times." 3'x2'
Contact Brian for pricing & availability →"One of my last bigger scale cityscape paintings. I finally started to understand how perspective worked and what actual cities looked like and how they moved. I love the simplicity of this one, the boldness, the hard edges."
Contact Brian for pricing & availability →"I ripped this image from Thornton's vacation to Michigan. The family took this pic and I thought it looked incredible. Hence the name..." 24" x 18"
Contact Brian for pricing & availability →"I decided to release my strangle hold on what a horizon looks like. I couldnt quite release my stranglehold on having something 'real' to anchor the idea (hence the cityscape with the mountains). At the end, it reminds me of 'Hail to the Thief'." 24" x 18"
Contact Brian for pricing & availability →"I was told by a fine art gallery (that I was trying to show in) that I should move away from the cityscape and get bolder and bigger. This was first attempt at understanding what they meant."
Contact Brian for pricing & availability →"Similar to the first approach.. this one more textured and weird. This was also the last remnants of using organics items in the foreground, Here we have cactus and such."
Contact Brian for pricing & availability →"In an effort to create a piece of merch for my Live from Laurel Canyon patrons, I started dabbling with making 'canyon' paintings. This was a proof of concept painting. Also, started to play with what skyscrapers would look like in my world." 8"x8"
Contact Brian for pricing & availability →"Another exploration of a cityscape with a canyon. Inspired by Laurel Canyon and the SFV beyond it." 8"x8"
Contact Brian for pricing & availability →"This is one of the last paintings with this sky approach.... no clouds, bold colors, mountains in the distance, city upfront. A riff on Manhatten, maybe from a different angle." 8"x8"
Contact Brian for pricing & availability →"If you are going to create city scape, why not reference the best city on the planet? Thats not a question."
Contact Brian for pricing & availability →"Messing with clouds... colors, layout. I might continue to work on this one but at the time being, its enough." 8"x8"
Contact Brian for pricing & availability →"Taking my cityscape idea to the next (future) level. Who isnt a fan of Tron?" 8"x8"
Contact Brian for pricing & availability →"Experimenting with clouds formations and color palettes. Starting to mess with using other colors for the cityscape. This is an evolving trend." 8"x8"
Contact Brian for pricing & availability →"Dig the contrast. Proof of concept. Still not seeing how things would evolve but dedicated to the process or letting go." 8"x8"
Contact Brian for pricing & availability →"Lets just try a few colors... Now using light blue pens instead of yellow or white.." 8"x8"
Contact Brian for pricing & availability →"Cityscape, few colors, and clouds. Proof of concept." 8"x8"
Contact Brian for pricing & availability →"Experimenting with two toned approaches. Still sticking to my cityscape and mountain approach. This is hinting to whats to come." 8" x 8"
