Rock and Roll

I wanted to play around with some hand lettering and I love this quote from Eagles of Death Metal. If you're lucky I may try some more song quotes.

Art Hop 07 Poster

I've been going through my computer lately and saw my old Art Hop poster from back in the summer of 2007. I was never totally happy with how it came out because I had to keep adding more and more information that probably shouldn't have been on the poster. It got to the point where I had to compromise my design to fit it all on there. So since 2007 is long gone, I thought I'd give the poster another shot and leave out all that extra info.

PAINTING - Under My Umbrella

UNDER MY UMBRELLA 
-SOLD-

"Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows under my umbrella"

I've loved that song by the Hollies ever since a friend of mine put it on a random mix CD for me. Love can begin anywhere.

Now Available in Business Cards!

I felt business cards were long overdue, so now I can feel more legit. I wonder how many I'm supposed to carry on me at any given time?

I recently finished a couple paintings, so watch for those coming soon! (aka, whenever I get enough sunlight to take a decent picture... it's been raining or extra cloudy lately)

PAINTING- Some Beautiful Place to Get Lost

LET'S FIND SOME BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO GET LOST
SOLD

Last weekend I dropped this painting off at the RUA Studio Gallery. That's right, I'll have a painting showing in my first professional gallery!

Rua Studio ⋅ Gallery

2218 Andrew Rd.

Dayton, Ohio

The openning is Saturday November 19, 5pm-9pm, so stop by if you're local. There will be some great art on display.

 While this is the only one showing in a gallery, you can see my other Boy and Girl paintings HERE.

TRADING CARDS - Psylocke

Psylocke is pretty awesome. She's actually so awesome that Cyclops picked her for the Blue Team telepath over Jean. Okay, so the teams probably weren't decided like high school kickball teams, but I know she made Blue which is clearly more awesome than Gold.

"A one-woman fighting force, Psylocke's unmatched combat skill and formidable mental powers make her one of the most valuable members of the X-Men's Blue Team!"

King of the Jungle

I've been working on a portrait commission lately (hence the lack in updates). The portrait takes place on an African safari, so a lion is one of the background elements. I was really happy with how this guy turned out, so I wanted to show him off as more than just a background.

PAINTINGS - Forever at First Sight

YOU AND ME FOREVER
-SOLD-

"You and me forever. We belong together"
Sometimes you just have to let the whole world know you're in love - not just now, but forever.

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

Mamihlapinatapai is a word we don't have in English... though we could probably use it. It means a "look shared by two people with each wishing that the other will initiate something that both desire but which neither one wants to start." It's a word for all of us who are wishing, hoping, but too shy.
