grackle clock
Here’s a pic of the the first grackle clock I did. This was for the “ValenTimes Day” show. I didn’t meet the people who bought it, but I hope it’s still keeping them on time…
So if you made it out…
If you made it out to the Dallas Nomads show this past Saturday, you already know. It was huge! I saw a lot of old
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.
Up next, the skateboard show Nov 7!!! Already working on my deck, woohoo!!!!
Deep Ellum Fall Gallery Walk / Dallas Nomads Showcase Tonight!
The Dallas Nomads put on some of the best art shows in town. I’m always impressed by the quality of their events and I always have a blast. Tonight’s showcase will feature 70 artists and hundreds of works, live music, djs… I’ve got five new pieces in the show, along with the “Nude Tech” painting posted here below. I’m looking forward to getting some feedback on the new ones…they are a bit of a new direction for me.
So…if you hate fun, creativity, great art, cool peeps and free drinks, definitely skip this event. Otherwise, come say hi!
some older work…
ok. to get the ball rolling, here are some earlier paintings.
The first is oil on canvas and it was one of those that started with no real direction, and over many sessions and “re-dos” finally became something I like. In fact, from start to finish, it must have been a few years. I finished this at the notorious Studio 2304, after dusting it off from a long stint in storage.
The next one is one of my few water colors, done last year and never really finished. But I still think she’s sexy. You’ll notice the Halo Slurpee cup…no doubt filled with my muse, the Red Lady, aka Red Drank, aka cranberry+vodka <3.
And the last is another water color. It’s a self portrait…of me wearing a suit…with antlers, which is how i feel the most dapper.
I’ll get some newer stuff up pretty soon. promise!
wecome to medium heavy!!!
So I decided to join the hundred or so people who have a blog on the internet…behold, Medium Heavy. What does it mean? Well, have you ever been totally in the mood to rock out…but not to anything completely bone crushing? That’s when it’s time for something medium heavy. That, and I also use many different “media” in my artwork…which is the reason for this site.
It’s embarrassingly empty at the moment, but that just shows how comfortable I am with you. I know you would never judge me by my lack of blog content. You may, however, be doubting the artiness of this art blog, since there are currently no pictures of paintings, or really any art at all. This may lead you to suspect that this is more of a “word” blog. Although I currently have no proof to the contrary, I promise to upload some soon. You may notice that I’m sometimes an ok painter, but I seem to be a terrible painting photographer. So at first, we’ll just go with really bad photos of hopefully decent paintings, and we’ll try to improve on all fronts from there.
There will be updates very soon, but for now I’ll just mention a couple of upcoming events. This saturday, 9/19/09, is the Dallas Nomad’s massive art show at 2616 Commerce, which is part of the Deep Ellum Art Walk (more info to come). And November 7th (2 days after my bday, yeehaw!) is the Dallas Nomads 2nd Annual Skateboard Show, which raises money for the Scottish Rite Childrens’ Hospital.
That’s it for now, more soon. _k
