3 Months Old!

Mr. A. is getting bigger and bigger every day! I have decided that one of my next projects is going to be making him an ABC book. I am going to do all original artwork for the pages and hopefully turn it into a poster as well. I'm planning on starting the project in August and don't have a clue as to when it will be completed (hopefully before he starts to learn his ABC's). I'm also planning on releasing a mini print this November. My last print was really big and I think that had something to do with the fact that no one bought one! So the new print is going to be around 6" x 6" with a little bit of a border. It will be in the same style/concept as the previous 2 prints. I'll keep you posted about the progress. Apologies again for the lack of updates on the blog, I will be back to work soon and the postings will resume. Thanks for checking in.

Don't Touch My Head, Pervert

"Uncle Tom + Aunt Anna" visited last nite and brought several very cool gifts. They are in first place in the trying to spoil the baby race. I'm not sure if you can read it, but the pink onesie says "Don't touch my head, pervert."

Studio Visit Magazine

I have a two page spread of some of my artwork in the latest issue of Studio Visit Magazine. I'm not sure when or where you can buy it, but it sure does look cool.

He's Here!!!

Nursery Mural is Finished!

It took a while longer than I expected, but I think that the completed mural looks fantastic. There's a lot going on, but I think that it will hopefully spark the little guys imagination when he gets older. Again, big thanks to Tom for helping me with the design. The other night we were kicking around the idea of producing a children's book based off of the mural design, stay tuned to how that goes.

Nursery Mural Update

My friend Tom and I finished drawing most of the mural yesterday. Today I started painting and got about half way finished. I think that it looks really cool, hopefully the baby will too!

Nursery Mural

I've always hated murals. However, now that I'm painting one in my son's nursery that is going to kick ass I guess I can't say that I hate murals anymore. Here's a few preview pictures. Yeah, I know, the photos are sideways. Deal with it, they're artsy.

Sketchbook #1

I was reflecting on the work that I did for the Igloo Show (still up at Black Maria Gallery until March 22nd) and noticed that I had been putting pieces of jewelry hanging from tree branches into several of the paintings. I'm not quite sure why I did that, or what the imagery means, but I decided to do some further exploration of the jewelry theme in my sketchbook for a week. Each day I did a sketch that had to include jewelry somehow. Here's the first one, with more to come each day (hopefully), and a different theme each week.

The Igloo Art Show!

Everything went well at the Igloo Tornado opening last nite. Thanks to everyone who braved the rain and came to our show, drank our beer, and bought our work! The show will be up for another month, so if you weren't able to make it to the opening you still have time to check it out. There are more photos over on the Igloo Tornado web site

More New Work

New piece. Currently untitled. For show and sale at the Black Maria Gallery this Saturday, the 23rd.
