September shows: Maven Market and The Bunker

9/30/2018

This was quite the busy month! There's a great Artists & Makers Market in the District at Channelside. Maven Market has a great space and great following - Jennifer Brewer, the promoter and founder, has done a terrific job in bringing together a great local shopping experience for the Channelside and surrounding residents. 

There's a monthly market so make sure to catch one when you can - with the holidays coming up - #greatgiftideas! I will definitely be back again after the holidays! 
The Bunker hosted a fun Art show  -"Frankly Brilliant - a Lisa Frank tribute show" - and I was honored to hang a piece the the 90's pop art diva! Macy Higgins, Nicholas Haley and several other artists are on display at the Bunker now and it's a great show not to missed. The Bunker is located at 1907 N. 19th Street Ybor City, FL. - ​https://www.bunkerybor.com

New Pieces added to the Online Gallery

5/19/2018

Earlier today I had a chance to update the Gallery and decided to offer a few very special pieces from my personal collection to the Online gallery. Several pieces are very special to me and have some special meaning - and have done very well in print sales. I think every artist at some point as a collection grows allows some cherished pieces to be offered for sale for interested art lovers. 

More pieces will be added in the next few weeks - as well as new prints - so please check back from time to time to see what is new - and old is new again!

April was a great planning month and a lot of background work for a new tab on the website. In case you haven't noticed - now there's a shop. Consider this a soft opening to the Gallery. There's new art work on the way - as well as other products that I think you will enjoy! There's more shows coming soon as well. More posts coming in the next few days!

Nude Nite Wrap Up

3/31/2018

0 Comments

 
March certainly was a busy month. I changed up my style a bit and experimented with different techniques and subjects. Focused more on the male physique, the entries were well received this year albeit a somewhat different audience. 

It will be interesting next year to revisit last year's subjects and this year's techniques to create something altogether different. Now, what to do for the the summer shows?

Nude Nite Orlando makes me blush!

​What a great time in Orlando this past weekend! Such a terrific turn out and always a great time.  I decided to change it up this year and painted in a different style and different subjects. I have enjoyed my previous Nude Nite pieces and they are pretty popular - but wanted to mix it up a bit. People have asked if I only paint female forms; I suddenly realized that I DO typically paint the female form. So, different style and subject it is. 

Feedback from the show was that having more male forms was a welcome change - and not shy of using color! - the brighter, the better! 

The Orlando Sentinel even posted a great gallery of the show  - click here for the photos:

Hand painted clothing makes an old favorite NEW again

10/29/2017

3 Comments

 
What do you do when one of your favorite shirts gets accidently bleached or stained? Do you throw it away OR try to save it? This shirt was a navy colored shirt with a great texture and I couldn't bear losing it. So, with a spray bottle filled with a 50/50 water bleach mix - I gave it an interesting pattern to hide the accidental bleach stain, Once dry, I applied some Golden transparent colors in various washes and intensity. VOILA! A really cool look and an all new fashion to wear. It was bound to happen - any artist will tell you that paint ends up on their clothes - why not embrace it and make it haute art coulture?

Update: Hallway Gallery Project

7/3/2017

Here's an update on the hallway project I mentioned a few weeks ago. I'm half way through the project - creating custom artwork prints for condominium common areas. Much of the artwork is showcasing our local Tampa scenery from my own photos. The finished artwork is printed on Kodak Endura metallic ultra premium paper and matted and framed to adorn the hallways and common spaces of a local community. There's more art to come, so stay tuned here and also prints will be available under the SHOP button.
