HOUSE OF THE UNHOLY!

I found another cool spooky abandoned house here in the middle of nowhere- Bedias,Texas. Someday I need to get a closer look at these left for dead houses. It's not the ghosts I'm afraid of, it's the snakes. Sorry about the last photo being blurry. I blame it on a ghost that got in the way.

THE HAUNTED HOUSE OF BEDIAS, TX!

As an artist, you gather tons and tons of pictures, jpegs, movie footage and junk of all kinds to use as reference for future works. It's always best to draw from real things instead of just your imagination. From there, you can take the reference and run with it, letting your imagination tweek and expand on the source material. But sometimes, you come across things that have so much personality that the object, or person, or thing needs very little tweeking.
The one thing that has stood out for me in this small nowhereville called Bedias, Texas, is this run down abandoned house I drive past everyday to go to the little store( the ONLY store in town). It's a perfect haunted house. Dead trees surround it. The paint is dry and chipping. No glass is on the windows. It's beautiful in it's haunting way. I had to take pictures of it, and it will, for sure, play a part in some painting or drawing or comic book someday.
 It's my favorite thing in Bedias.

LONER IN THE LONE STAR!

I'M BACK!
The long journey from California to Texas has been one of long truck drives, torturous unpackings and tedious re-organizings of my life, but I have made it. It's a big culture shock being in this small town of simple folk. But, here I am regardless. Finally my art studio is in somewhat where I want it to be. The new drawing table has been assembled and ready for me to to violate with my twisted visions. I've got a small handful of commissions to begin and awaiting many more! Not much artwork has been done between my last post and now, but a few scribbles and sketches made their way to my small sketchbook, and I thought I'd share them with ya! Now, that I'm back in action, much more elaborate and complex works shall be in the postings. Enjoy!

TRADING IN MY SPEEDOS FOR SPURS!

Well, this may be my last post from California. This time next week I will be boxing up the computer and moving out to the middle of nowhere- a small town in Texas miles away from civilization. I haven't had much time to work on art, it's been nothing but boxing up of all my junk for the move. Over the weekend, we did have one last hurrah when we spent the weekend with friends in Burbank, drinkin' it up, screaming our brains out at The Universal Halloween Horror Haunts and then Sunday, a nice day at The LACMA to check out the massive and very inspiring Tim Burton Exhibit! Lotsa fun!


Gonna miss all my friends and the art scene out here big time, but who knows. Maybe I'll start a new art community out in the boonies of Texas. There, I will actually have a studio to work in, so I can do some bigger paintings without worrying about getting paint everywhere. So that's gonna be a good thing. It's gonna be an adventure and a huge culture shock, but what the hell, I've always been an outsider anyways.
After next Thursday I'll be on the move and there will be awhile where I will have very limited internet, so I thought I'd post some of my latest works since it'll be awhile before I get back to the drawing boards. Here they be-

So, again, it's gonna be a whole new world when I get to Texas. If anyone in Texas wants to throw me a line and get me connections into the art world out there I would greatly appreciate it! Once everything is set up and organized I'll post pictures of my new studio which I will dub THE RAGZ DAVIDIAN STUDIOS. Keep checking back because I will post as soon as possible when I get back online. Thanks to everyone in Vegas & California for all the awesome times, friendships, adventures and misadventures.

I say you should all join me in Texas.
We can start the RAGZ DAVIDIAN ART MOVEMENT! What d'ya say! LET'S DO IT!!!

SO SAYETH I!!
