It’s been a little bit since I posted but the Denver Show in June went really great and lots of thanks to everybody that managed to come by. The people at Pop Surrealism mag, the Hi Fructose blog and the really great online art mag Sixfinch all decided to cover my work right after the show…in case you missed it, here’s some links.
So I’ve got 5 through 30 of each image left…follow the link and grab one while they’re around!

One of two collage breast plates for my new piece “Got your back”
This collage is taking forever!!
I’ve been playing around with repeating character forms, this guy’s almost done!
Hundreds & Hundreds of hand cut strips of paper, detail progress shot from my new piece “Come unto me” (working Title)
This is what matt medium does to your hands.
Take a look at my new portfolio site! I have a selection of work available from the past four years available as well as a freshly organized bio/resume and a wonderful opportunity on the contact page to sign up for my Bi-monthly-ish newsletter!
I do love woodworking! These new supports are pretty darn big and are going to be some of my most ambitious pieces to date. I’ve switched to a cleat hanging system to support the weight of the panels and to help them hang flush against the wall. Aside from the table saw I’m forced to use (which is absolute pure danger) I had alot of fun making them.
New review in O.C. weekly by Dave Barton. Below is my part of a very long review that came out in the paper this week. Please follow the link to read the full article.
By Dave Barton
Brian Robertson’s forlorn collages of teardrop-shaped fi gures with spider legs and tendril arms, their faces hidden by headscarves, entrances; the preponderance of desert beige and brown, the hijablike scarves, and the phallic minarets and moons/suns that look like bull’seyes feels like the artist is referencing the Middle East. Meanwhile, his Heart Punch—two almost identical figures, one shivving an arm through the heart of the other—poetically confirms it.
An all around great show, Rothick took a slightly different turn with this one. Entitles “Abstract Intentions” the show featured artists Kelly Berg & Craig Roccanova with offerings of total abstraction and the other artists: Myself, Bruce Parker, Charlie Immer, Ryan Pratt, Andy Knight, Luis Murillo and Jopaucho offering absrtact leaning pieces but with figurative or representational leanings. The show will be up for the remainder of March.
