Painting of an LED screw-mount light

This is an LED bulb you can use in a vintage dynamo-powered bicycle tail light.  So much easier than re-engineering modern LED circuits into the antique light housing! Just screw it in and ride away with a much brighter light. 10,000 hour lifespan and  a (short) standlight feature that stays on when you stop.

Self-portrait ID card paintings

philip – huge ID card, originally uploaded by Philip Williamson.

I paint portraits of people’s ID cards. It started out on a whim, but I’ve done a fair number of them now. I like that they’re almost sculptures (I made this 6 foot oil on linen painting with rounded corners), and the undertow of this being the State’s view of you. And I think people like little things made big.

ID cards – friends and strangers

This is a fairly substantial 3 foot painting on heavy plywood. The corners are cut and rounded, and it’s hanging on David’s wall. Below are some other ID card paintings I’ve made of people who are not me.
