thanks Nate and Tessar! I hope everyone enjoys the work. I know it is a bit disturbing, but it is a concept that is important and personal to me.
It's about struggling, hunger and poverty. Taking what you are dealt with and making the best with it.
I hope that is comes through in the paintings.
Most of the subjects are my own children.

Thought I would post a few new pieces I finished for the 'Gifted' Show at Cerasoli:LeBasse Gallery on December 12th-20th. These were super fun to paint and as usual I learned an awful lot. 'crue_poisson' 12X12 Gallery Canvas Acrylic, India Ink'jaune_d'oeuf' 12X12 Gallery Canvas Acrylic, India Ink

I like the eggs piece, Jeremy... You've really captured a sense of abandonment and the texture of a damp, grubby environment. The way the perspective skews adds a lot to its emotional quality.

These are really great pieces. Seems like a real delicate balance of emotions; innocence, shame, natural curiousity...abandonment even. They really draw you in and pull your feelings right to the surface like great art is supposed to do, I'm a fan!!

This was posted on his blog today The day after this Christmas I started to get real sick. After 4 days of lying in bed with what I thought at time was a Stomach flu, I decided to call Mom and ask for some advice. My mom was a nurse for many years so I thought she could lend me some advice.
She tells me my symptoms sounds strange and that I should go see a doctor. So I decided to go the next morning. Doc checks me out and says I probably just had a stomach flu that had been going around. But she thought my symptoms sounded strange and that a blood test was a good idea. I was thinking, "that is gonna be another 100 bucks" thought about saying no, then decided to text Mom again. She says do it.
I start to feel a little better, work the next day(new years eve). New Years day I feel a little better but still something is wrong in my abdomen. So the day after new years I am chillin with my kids getting ready to go take them to the park, when i get a call.
The doctor with a very stern voice says she got my blood results back and I need to go to the ER immediately. I was stunned to say the least.
Long story short, I get a bizzilion blood and urine tests done and find out for whatever reason my kidneys are working at 15-20%. At 10% they put you on dialysis. No Bueno.
I spend the next 3 days at the hospital taking terrible medicine that gives me diarrhea, headaches, and overall pain.
So now I am home not 100%, my kidneys are at 60%. The doctors are still uncertain of what happened and if what they diagnosed me with is possibly something much worse. I have to be on the worst medicine ever, that makes me feel like crap. I am on a very strict diet for months. I have to go get blood and urine test once a week for months. And I like most Americans have no health insurance, and no idea how this is all getting paid for.(Vote Democratic!)
To say the least the last week and a half has been very surreal and very tough on my family. But through all of this madness I have a weird peace about it all. I know that all of this happened for a reason. Maybe to help put things in perspective. To show me life is short. To help me appreciate how blessed of a life I lead. Or possibly someone I know who sees me going through this needed to. For whatever reason.
I am very healthy, active and 30 and my kidneys are going bad for no reason.
I thought I needed to share this story cause it has made a real impact on my life and my family's. It's amazing how when everything is kinda just busy, busy, work, work, you barely look around and stop to see what you already have.
I hope someone out there gets something out of this cause I know I did.
Cheers, Jeremywww.jasherlynch.blogspot.com/my thoughts are with jal and his family

So just to let everyone know I went to the doctor for the first time since the hospital a few days ago and somehow my body has reversed the whole kidney thing. Gave me a clean bill of health. Said I was very lucky I got on it so quick and got the proper treatment ASAP.
Now all I gotta worry about is the not so clean hospital bill.
Gotta love that we are in a bazzilion dollar war for no reason and yet barely anyone I know has health care. Great job Republicans!!!YEah
Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers, I know thats what really pulled me through this!

Hmmm, I posted to this thread last night, but it's disappeared.
Glad to hear you are feeling better, Jeremy. I keep thinking there must be a way for the artist community to form an association that could administrate a group health plan. Has anyone ever looked into anything like that, I wonder?

Thanks for showing me this piece Jeremy. I think when people see the whole piece they will like it. Would be nice to explore this a little more with more paintings in this style.

Thanks so much Hung. The LeBasse Projects opener was amazing. Beau and Christine went above and beyond this time. Thanks to all who came out, and for the rest of you don't forget the public opening next weekend! Here is a better version of the painting in the show I did: "The Survival of Mickey on the Mississippi" 36X48 Canvas, Acrylic, India Ink, Gesso Here is the story behind this piece: "For over 80 years Mickey Mouse has been an icon in the entertainment industry. Having just been laid off from my job within that industry this painting represents the pressure of the sinking economy... my perseverance to sustain my dreams within my chosen field of work while simultaneously lifting up and "rescuing" that which invokes the birth of Imagination that is Hollywood- " Mickey Mouse "
