| Alter Ego |
24″ x 24″
Oil on Masonite
An alter ego (Latin, “the other I”) is a second self, a second personality or persona within a person. It was coined in the early nineteenth century when schizophrenia was first described by early psychologists.[1]
The term alter ego is commonly used in literature analysis and comparison to describe characters who are psychologically identical, or sometimes to describe a character as an alter ego of the author, a fictional character whose behavior, speech or thoughts intentionally represent those of the author.
The characters Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde in Robert Louis Stevenson’s thriller Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde represent an exploration of the concept that good and evil exist within one person, constantly at war. Edward Hyde literally represents the doctor’s other self, a psychopathic being unrestrained by the conventions of civilized society, who shares a body with the doctor. |

This is the most recent shot uploaded, this is the first layer of oil. Everything here is just sketched in with a thin layer of oil so that the final layer can be positioned. The horns have not been touched as of yet, they will be silver and will sparkle.
This was the head of this Dean Guitar before I did anything to it.
This was the head after I gave it an initial sanding so I could see the wood and what I was working with without the hardware.
This is the head after the wood sanding and with a first layer gesso applied. Final sanding and sketching of the face ideas are starting to be laid in.
This was a rough in for the face done in acrylics. I went back and forth many times to get the positioning right so that the hardware would interfere as little as possible with the final face.
I have recently been working on this commission project of a custom electric guitar. I just added some pictures into the gallery of some of the progress.
Though I am on the downhill slide with this work, which I must say I think is one of the best pieces I have ever worked on to date, I still have not decided on a title or name for the piece yet.
I purposely have not uploaded the most recent pictures because I dont want my collector to see the finished work online before experiencing her in person, but I will upload some additional shots as I go…

An imitation
Larmes
1930-33
A long-running art forgery operation, which produced high-quality “vintage” Man Ray photographs, has been uncovered by the German photographer and collector Werner Bokelberg. The fakes include Man Ray’s most famous images from the 1920s and ’30s, including La Marquise Casati (1922), Noire et blanche (1926) and Larmes (1930-33). Bokelberg, who has assembled a large collection of 19th- and early 20th-century photographs and began collecting Man Ray in the 1970s, became suspicious at the increasing availability of such an unusually large selection of classic, and rare, Man Ray images. “It was too good to be true,” he told ArtNet. “I could have any picture I wanted.”

Real ExposureOriginally uploaded by joeyhavlockI still really enjoy this piece alot. The time period around me was intense in1995. I was living in Times Square on 23rd Street and 7th Avenue at the time. Originally the name for this piece came first. The name Real Exposure was the name of a modeling agency me and my uncle were going to create. Well, we never created the modeling agency but the name stuck with me and eventually I created a large online BBS system called Real Exposure. I created this painting as a visual to attach to this online beast that grew from nowhere. That is a whole different adventure to reflect upon later. This 30″ x 40″, oil on canvas painting was the end result of an absolutely wild adventure searching for Real Exposure.
This painting also happens to still currently be available for sale, if you find yourself interested please visit the SHOP.

Makes me wonder what he used for masking, seems like it should be a simple, but slow and steady process…
