epoxy art

I've recently discovered the artwork of Eric Finzi. His day job is cosmetic surgery. On the side, he creates paintings using epoxy resin, which is toxic stuff. If you click on the "process" link, you'll see how he protects himself.

I like the the ethereal, watercolory atmosphere of the paintings. It's like looking at images you might see if you let yourself inhale the fumes of the epoxy resin. They give me ideas for watercolor painting, which I've not done much of since I started grad school.

Currently, he has two exhibits in Maryland, one in California, and one in Florida. Cool stuff!
