The Artist Project 2016 - already over!

THANK YOU, The Artist Project team and volunteers, art collectors who attended and new admirers of my work for making the event such a fun time!

The painting of mine above, 'Cereal Siege', is just one of the images I sold during the event that has found a happy new home! Below are some shots of the fair and my booth.

The booth, the whole booth, and nothing but the booth!

Something's missing... that's because it SOLD!

The event was well attended and attracted a big crowd. 

  

Explaining my process and influences to some admirers.

Celestial Hands

I'm working to wrap up one last painting for The ArtistProject (now just 2 weeks away!). This painting is called 'Celestial Hands'. It is an alternate narrative on why cartoon characters wear gloves. 

My favorite reference to this is from Bobby in 'An ExtremelyGoofy Movie':

storing paint with baby food jars

Here's a pro tip that was passed on to me years ago: if you have a young child or have friends/family who do, save those baby food jars. They are excellent for storing premixed paint because of their air lock lids and convenient size. I've got a bunch of jars my sister donated to me when she gave birth to my niece and nephew. The blue in the jar I'm holding was mixed 7 months ago - and it's still active!
