John,
Eddie Alvarez here, how long have you been making these? I've been making night paintings (among other stuff) myself since about 2003 when I was at UM. Apparently we have alot in common, as I am also from Jersey, born in Newark. And I even also use Blogger (http://artpost.blogspot.com). Anyhow, these look good. I'll be showing some night paintings at the World Arts Building on 2214 N. Miami Ave on Sept.9 if you wanna check it out. I think we should meet, maybe we can put a show or something together.
take it easy, hope to hear from you, eddie

Hey Eddie, thanks, I believe we did meet a while back. I was an intern for Brook Dorsch, I think you passed by before you moved back to Jersey(?). I'll definetly check out your show on Sept.9. I have a brother that lives in Newark. Jersey will always be home. How did you find my blog?

Oh, I think I remember that. Thats crazy, well I meant it, these look good. I never followed up with Brook and now wish I had. I'm serious about doing something together I think it'd be a hell of a show. The night painters of Miami or something crazy like that. Anyhow I found your blog through Artblog.net a while back and been meaning to post something. I'm kind of living in both Jersey and Miami now. but I'll be down for that show in sept. and then again in Oct. for another show. Hope to see you then. I'll send you an email flyer for the show. when I get it.

Hey John, glad to see you update with some new stuff. Looks good! There are few artists that can pull off a nocturne.

Chicago

I am thinking of a general sense on how I perceive the subjects in my paintings. I can only put a stream of experiences to describe the image: the song by Frank Sinatra, a barely remembered poem about Chicago..something about big shoulders, pop culture thoughts like prohibition and gansters, great pizza, baseball, lots of guys that look like me (baseball cap, bearded, slight beer belly) Guinness, el trains, bridges, biting cold etc.. Does this make sense?

Frolic

In Victor Hugo's Les Miserables there is a chapter where he paints a picture of friends in the throws of joyous doings. Much laughter, drinking, and enjoyment of each other's company makes one's spirit giddy. I thought of that chapter while on a winter trip to South Carolina's Kiawah Island. In this painting I depict my friends Harumi and Christian spontaneously riding found kids bikes. Christian is obviously too big for this ride, while Harumi seemed quite comfortable and serene. I hope this painting is seen in person as there is much to the texture that my poor photo taking does not capture.

The Room

I have a secret envy for those that have lived in the same house through to adulthood. It must be nice to be so secure about what home is. I have been contemplating putting wheels on practically every thing I own. Maybe I'll buy an old Uhaul truck and live in that. I have been carrying the same books around for eleven or twelve years now. I guess in a way "home" for me is everywhere and anywhere these books are next to me.
