MY CARDBOARD SPACESHIP ADVENTURE

Few new things I've done for the good guys in MCSA ( one of the best band names ever in my opinion). These guys are all about color and happiness and for someone who is usually content to dwell in earth tones and melancholy, it's a nice change of pace. Look for these upstanding young men on the Kevin Says stage at the Pittsburgh ( Burgettstown ) stop of this summer's Van's Warped Tour, July 8th.

OUR DYING MOMENT

Local metal band Our Dying Moment asked me to do a design for them for general use. They said they wanted something in the way of a person choking and I think I was able to pull that off. They seemed happy with the design and have gotten shirts made, I'll include picts when I get my copy. The drummer, Mike, has asked me to do another drawing for his other band Neroxx as well so stay tuned. Enjoy.

NEW PAINTINGS

Here are a few pictures of some of the new paintings ( no, not ALL the new paintings as it dawned on me that I had not yet photographed them until after they'd been sold!!! Doh! ) that I showed at the Three Rivers Arts Festival a few weeks ago.



Captain Handy's Giant Squid, 9" x 11", Acrylic on handmade wood panel. ( There was also a "Capt. Handy's Tuna, that featured an image of the Capt. himself standing next to his catch but alas I am a moron and forgot to photograph it... Way to go! )



Gentleman, 9" x 11", Acrylic on handmade wood panel.



Ghost Bike With Rider, 9" x 11", Acrylic on handmade wood panel.



Running, 9" x 11", Acrylic on handmade wood panel.



Passing Storm, 36" x 36", Acrylic on handmade wood panel.

THREE RIVERS ARTS FEST

I suppose it's a bit late to be posting about this as this is the morning of the last day but I was accepted and have been showing at this years Three Rivers Arts Festival in downtown Pittsburgh. It's been interesting to say the least! The response to my work has been quite polar in that people either seem to love it or hate it. The facial expressions I've encountered have been a true pleasure to watch parade in front of my booth though that's for sure.

There are a few things I'll likely change or alter if and when I do the show again next year or do other shows in the future. I've spoken with several artists, namely Tim Hooper who is a very cool guy, who've been extremely helpful and encouraging to a Rookie like me. I think if I can manage to keep my steam up and continue cranking out pieces, I should be able to get a few gallery gigs in the near future.

I'd like to thank those of you who came and bought pieces from me this week, I'll be in touch with you all with special offers and updates as they come down the pike. Also, thanks to everyone who has helped me out over the last month or so and extended themselves a bit further than normal in an effort to get me here. Really appreciate it.

Pictures forthcoming.
