Premiere & Live painting a success.

I was asked to do a live painting during the South Florida premiere of the film "180 degrees South." The painting would be auctioned off at the end of the night with 100% of the proceeds going to earthquake victims of Chile. With only a couple hours to paint I got to the event early and set-up. A massive outdoor screen was inflated right on the beach for all to see. Another indoor screen was erected with a couple dozen sponsored booths and food vendors ready for the crowd.
About 7pm hundreds of people started gathering. The large assortment of varies people grabbed a friend, some food, a beer, and found their spots for the film. I continued to paint at the Jedidiah booth during the film as several kids watched me, all the while asking every art question possible. The painting, inspired by the amazing film, sold at the end of the night. The event was a huge turn out overall and a great night that brought a community of unique individuals together for a common good.

"We resonate with three things in the movie; enjoying creation, caring for creation, and being a voice for the voiceless." -Keith Case





Thanks to everyone who came out & helped make the night a huge success.
