Amazing company- new shirt line...

A little over a week ago I announced that I was going to be working with an amazing company to design their next line of clothes. Specifically their shirts. I have worked on and help complete two shirts already and there is a lot more to come!

The company/ Organization I'm working with is called Light Gives Heat. Their basic goal is to Empower Africans through encouragement of economic sustainability & creative endeavors. Motivating people in the West to be the change they want to see in the world. And to see people living with hope.I can't wait to share with you the entire new line of shirts that will be released in 2011. Each design and story that come from the people of Uganda is very powerful. I've watched so many videos and seen many images to try and capture their story into one design per shirt. No sneak peeks yet though!

There are some amazing people working with this organization Take a moment just to view the website, or watch one of the videos below.
A few of my close friends have been working very hard on a documentary with Light Gives Heat called "Moving On". View the trailer below:

The message behind 'Moving On' is that we're all people with so much more in common than we realize, and the task in front of us is to bring out beauty and love in the world. When we do this, we realize that LOVE IS WINNING!

I often get asked to draw or paint stuff for people. A lot of times it isn't subject matter I normally paint but I like a little challenge. I also rarely ever post any public images of them, but few people told me to share a few I've done the past two months.

New series of drawings.

I was asked to show some work for a show again at the C.Emerson Fine Arts Gallery in St. Petersburg, FL. After looking over the idea for the show, I wanted to try and challenge myself and do something I hadn't done in awhile... Drawing people. I wanted to draw and combine several animals juxtaposed with several different female nudes.

I really hope to continue to do several more of these drawings. It was fun to choose specific animals based on each of the females look and personality. Each one is framed 11"x9" and will be available on January 14, 2011 at C.Emerson Fine Arts during the show "Observations of the Feeling of the Beautiful and Sublime" based on Immanuel Kant's 1764 book.
