The creation of the latest Oilgraph piece...this time with gunpowder. This piece (and this series) is a massive departure for me in terms of style and approach. But feeling compelled by the dynamics tearing our nation in two, I knew I needed to express them, even though I had no idea what I was doing or where this spontaneously born series would go.

The Gunpowder piece Kevin created for his friend Ellen who was battling cancer. It was sold at auction to defray her medical costs.

Much to Kevissimo's surprise the 700 Club ran a segment on his creation of two of the most brutal pieces from IN THE TIME OF THE JUDGES. Video by Steven Sproul. 

This is from last Saturday when I finished the latest piece for the series "In the time of the Judges." It was a ten minute performance at Theory Labs.
As the story goes, Abimelech, the bastard son of Gideon had taken over Israel by killing all seventy of his brothers in one day.

Kevin (aka. Kevissimo) creates the piece "Twelve" before the audience of Theory Labs - From the series "In the Time of the Judges." The performance was 12 minutes and the image was inspired by the story of Judges 19.
