Flying to Nicaragua...

I will be flying out in the morning and heading to Nicaragua. I'll be painting several large scale murals in & around the city of Managua. Working once again with the non-profit organization Love, Light, & Melody. Sharing hope & stories with communities there through art, music, dance, & love. 

 I am very excited to work & travel with some amazing friends! Including: artist Austin Blasingame, film director Matt Katsolis, film maker Wade Yamaguchi, Musician Brad Corrigan, and even my own sister; dancer Marissa Maxcy. 

I always wait until last minute before I pack and prepare everything for a trip. It's less stressful for me. I have sketched out a couple rough ideas for the murals. 

Going from Denver's current temperatures of about 19degs to Managua's current 99degs will be a big change. Safe travels to the entire crew. 
This should be another amazing adventure!

Driving across the states...

I recently drove just over 4428miles from Colorado to Florida and back! 

I have done this before and it is always an adventure. 

Stopping and seeing some odd amazing sites as I drive. 

Just to share a few highlights of the trip here are some photos...

I always go to Miami Art Basel in December. Usually to show work & paint but I wasn't able to this year. I still made sure to stop by (3 months late) and take photos of some of the amazing murals done. 

Here are a few of my random favorites:

 And a few more random shots as I traveled through the lower states: 

Art cell phone case...

I recently got picked up for a select group of artists to showcase and sell one of my works as a limited edition cell phone case. The company RedDirt is currently selling my painting 'Long Neck' on custom cases for the iphone 4 / 4S / 5, & Samsung Galaxy. Each design comes with a handmade bag from Africa. Also proceeds from sales go to help build wells and get water to those in need. You can learn more on their site: www.reddirtshop.com

I love working with companies that truly believe in helping others. Be sure to grab yourself one because these are limited editions. Thank you.

Platypus commission...

Did a recent commission piece. The client said, I want a piece that is beautiful and odd at the same time. Something no one else would have.
Like a duck-billed platypus. So, that's what I painted...

 It's always a fun and a bit challenging process to create something I have never even drawn. I can't seem to photograph the colors just right but you get the idea. 

If you have a drawing or painting idea you'd like for yourself or as a gift 

just write me an email. Thanks: patrickmaxcy@yahoo.com
