Batter sizzles, beer foams, and canvas lines the walls from ceiling to floor as hundreds, if not thousands, of revelers indulge in endless pancakes.

You had me at Pancakes and booze!

I like both of those things! AND since so much of my work already has food and booze at its subject matter, this is an event that was made especially for me.

So far I’ve been accepted to the shows in Austin, Oct 4 and Houston, Nov 15 but there will be on in San Antonio this December as well. Here are some of the works I already have along with more ideas I’ll be working on for these shows.

AVOCADO HAND: STIGMATA

11/2018 — 17.25″ x 21″

Acrylic, candles on used fence pickets.


TEJANA: HEIDI

02/2018 — 33.5″ x 34.5″

Acrylic on used fence pickets.


KEEP TACOS WEIRD

06/2016 — 43″ x 28″

Acrylic on used fence pickets.

  • Redo: Delayed Gratification – old men praying over tacos
  • Redo: Acrimony and Cheese – retro house wife flipping the bird over a crock pot full of cheese
  • Prickly Pear: Ice Cream – a vague idea about combining prickly pear cutout pieces and ice cream. Maybe growing out of an ice cream container
  • Prickly Pear: Shiner – a vaguer idea about combining prickly pear cutout pieces and Shiner beer. Growing out of an empty case…bottles scattered.
  • Mimosas and Mea Culpas – a not so vague idea but kind of still pretty vague featuring hung over woman or three gathered around, avoiding eye contact drinking mimosas at their brunch.
  • Butterworth virgin: I’ll manage to figure out what to do around a Mrs. Butterworth Virgin Mary idea.

Having descended down into South Texas through the Hill Country one day long ago, Dick never claimed to be Texan, but his German heritage and love for tacos is something he shares with the inhabitants of the region. Having earned an MFA from Miami University, OH, he spent the worst years of his life up north, maturing artistically and refining an Iconoclasmatic Pop Art™ style shaped by his experiences as a recovering Catholic, cancer survivor and optimistic existentialist. He lives and works in his humble turquoise studio-home (Dick’s WurstHaus Art Shanty) near downtown San Antonio.
