It took me a while for the update because, well, things take me a while…
The show was great fun. This was my third year and they keep getting bigger and better each time. We hear a lot these days about the poor economy blah blah blah… But here is what I saw: Many of Dallas’ most talented artists happily GIVING away their time and abilities to be part of something positive, powerful and a total blast. There were also TONS…OK, there were no scales, but there were easily many many metric tons of people enjoying the event and reaching deep into their wallets for all the dope art. I even saw a guy bidding up his own bids during the auction…yeah, paying more on purpose (it was the guy that bought the Christopher Walken portrait, which is fitting, because upping your own bids for charity makes you the coolest dude in the room…and you know, Walken is always the coolest dude in the room).
A very nice couple bought my painting. I broke out of the mold for this one with a sexy waif with some antlers. Here are some pics (thanks to Kristy and Trish!):
Just want to say much respect to the Art Con team/organizers, all the volunteers, all the artists, the bands and definitely to the people coming out to enjoy the event.
I’ve added the Art Conspiracy link in the upper right. Check out their site and get on their mailing list. They do a few events throughout the year, so they’re definitely good to be in touch with.

friends and made some new ones. The free beer and cocktails were a massive hit…although the place was crowded the entire night, the beer line never seemed to dwindle. I found new homes for a few pieces and I’m glad to see them go to people who really seemed to like them. All in all it was a lot of fun. Thanks to all of you who stopped by. I hope you had as much fun as I did.
I had camera difficulties the night of the show, but here are a couple from Steve’s celly. I’ll be uploading some pics of my new artworks in the next few days.
