Back from Bmore

I'm back from Baltimore now and getting back into work mode this week. I have my work cut out for me. During my trip, I even managed to get some art done (I didn't want to feel like a total slacker :)

There's a lot happening in the next few weeks, so I will keep you all tuned in for that.

Until then.....happy drawing :)

"Force Fields" show opens soon!

Mark your calendars people! This show opens in two days in Santa Monica! One night only!

NYC "Ritual" show flyer

Hey guys!

I just received the official flyer for the "Ritual" show opening in the next few weeks. Check it out and please spread the word! Many thanks :)

Boxed up and ready to go

Hey all,

So I went to the UPS store today (a place I am very familiar with at this point) and mailed the work I created for the Rituals group show this summer in NY. I'm sending it off a little bit early because I will be taking a little trip this week and don't want to have to rush deliver it when I get back. I think the pieces look good in the frames. I'm curious how it will all be displayed. I have an idea in my head, but I know the gallery might have ideas of their own. Either way, I'm excited. Above is a teaser pic of the works for the show. And below is a rather boring picture of the box all taped up.

ready to go!

I really have my work cut out for me this summer in terms of projects. No lack of things to do here. Looking forward to a little break this coming week and some fun and relaxation :)

more to come......stay tuned.....

I am currently trying to finish up some personal commissions. They've been pretty challenging because they are not the type of thing I usually do, and haven't exactly been fun, but I am on schedule. I'll post pictures next month.

Also, I received Santiago's sketchbook. We are collaborating by trading books. Check out his awesome work here if you have a chance! http://www.flickr.com/photos/suceda/

I will be taking some time off soon and flying to MD for a little rest and relaxation. I'm going to take the sketchbook with me and hopefully do some drawing in it.

that's all for now folks :)

Sneak Peek of "Reawakening of the Long-Departed"

I just remembered that I wanted to post this picture of one of the drawings I completed recently for the show at Causey Contemporary (this July).

Here is the picture I previously posted of it while it was in the pencil stage.

Here's a detail shot of the completed section.

Big to small

The past few days have been spent working on this new drawing for a show in July. It was great working on this small piece after spending so much time working on some large, detailed drawings. I started it Thursday evening and finished it Friday evening. I also painted this frame the other day. I had a bit of a hard time deciding what color to go with, so I actually painted it a few times and then varnished it.

I took a trip to the post office the other day to mail my sketchbook off for a sketchbook collaboration I'm doing with Santiago Uceda. This is the first round of the trade, so I look forward to seeing what he can do with my random scribblings, and I can't wait to receive his sketchbook.

Under the Gun

Hey everyone,

just wanted to tell you all about a small show I am in coming up very soon. It's called "Under the Gun" and it's happening at Articulated Gallery on June 4th in San Francisco. As you may have guessed from the title, it's a bit of a last minute show, but don't let that deter you from seeing it! I have 2 small pieces in it (they're oldies but goodies).

they can be purchased HERE!
