Some pictures from the Summer Streets collaboration

Here are some pictures of the mural we ended up painting for the summer streets collaboration. We all had a lot of fun painting together, I was a little nervous about using brushes when everyone else was using spraypaint, but it worked out just fine.

Check out my interview with Jeremy Mangan

I've been doing some arts blogging for Redefine Magazine for a while now, and I've just started conducting interviews, too. I just had the opportunity to talk to the amazingly talented artist Jeremy Mangan, take a peek here!

Expect very little of me for the next few weeks...

I have started a truly epic costume project. Cryptic, yes? Muhahahaha!

I have finished my leaping kitty exodus!

I finnnallllyyyyy finished this painting and am really please with how it turned out. I changed my mind a number of times on this one, I think I completely repainted the sky at least 3 very different colors. I also am full of the warm fuzzy feeling of being a well behaved, dedicated working artist because I was inside painting in my studio on this gorgeous sunny day. This piece is exponentially larger than anything I've done lately (probably something like 16"x26", which is still pretty small when it comes right down to it), and I very much enjoyed having so much paper to wander on. But dear god this painting took forever. I really, really need to get a decent camera for documenting some of these larger pieces-- the detail images show up fine, but I can't for the life of me get an acceptable photograph of the whole thing. If anyone out there has a nice camera and wants to barter some photography for prints or delicious baked goods.... Anyways, without further ado, here is The Leaping Kitty Exodus.

Something a little different

I just finished up this project for a friend's wedding. She has 21 (terrifying, right?) children coming to her wedding, so this is a coloring book to entertain them with.

Frustrating work in progress

I've been toying around with this painting for a while now and it's been giving me all sorts of trouble. I think it's almost done, but am not quite sure what else I need to do to it for it to feel finished.
