Dispatch Shirts...

About a month ago I mentioned designing several shirts for the band Dispatch. Well, I can finally show them to you guys. They wanted three different yet specific animals for each shirt. These were designed for the band to wear on their sold out summer Tour. Enjoy...

Been away...

I have been away on vacation for awhile. Drove 876.4miles. Slept in a new place every night. Regular art updates will be back in effect very soon. Enjoy a few FL vacation pics in the mean time...

6 full days in Denver..

I flew out to Denver, Colorado for a little bit of work, tons of friends, music, and an amazing time! Seriously one of the best trips I have ever been on. I'll briefly fill you in...
The first night I got to see a private practice session from Dispatch in a large arena. Then had some dinner with a bunch of local Denver friends. The next morning I headed up to the mountains to go snowboarding for the first time. I was pretty bad at it. The 12,00ft elev plus the cold ice up in the Arapahoe Basin was no good for this Florida native. That night was the first Dispatch show at Red Rocks Amphitheater. Three nights of 10,000+ fans. Sold Out shows. Having a VIP lounge pass and Backstage pass was pretty amazing. Got to hang a bit with the FloBots one night as well. The Dispatch fans are so passionate about the music. Signing at the top of their lungs and dancing for 3hrs without stopping. An overwhelming experience each night there. I stayed in a house full of 6 other close friends. Every night sharing stories, playing games, painting, writing goofy songs together, watching film footage, making meals, driving around town, going to galleries, running around downtown Denver, etc. I have so many amazing & creative people in my life that I am extremely grateful for! This was another amazing adventure. To see more pics check out my Flickr Page.

Flying out to Denver...

Leaving in the morning for a week. Flying out to Denver Colorado. I designed several exclusive shirt designs for the band Dispatch. Which they will be wearing throughout their tour. While out in Colorado I will be doing a little painting, seeing tons of amazing friends, going to all three soldout Dispatch shows at Redrocks Amphitheater, and hanging with the fellas.

Want to see the exclusive shirts I designed? Well, you'll have to go to the shows. I won't be able to post them for awhile.

Live mural update...

This past weekend I painted a 6x4ft mural panel during the Never Quit Beach Fest with Beautiful Feet. Thousands of people came out and packed the surrounding area of Jacksonville Beach. The whole Beautiful feet crew was supportive in sharing all the BF info, their goals to help others, & the story behind it all with the public. Thanks to all the people who donated and supported the artwork, each other, and the cause.

Here is the basic sketch and finished piece that was auctioned off that day.
*Here is a short Time Lapse video of the entire mural. Enjoy...

Two new art events...

I have different art shows this weekend.
During one of them in North Florida, I will be painting a 6x4ft mural with the non-profit organization BeautifulFeet in Jacksonville Beach, FL. The painting will take place during the "Never Quit Beach Fest".
The piece I will be working on will be for auction to bring awareness & funds to help others in need through Beautiful Feet & the Mossy Foot Project. I plan to make this piece pretty detailed. Stop by, watch & say hello. BEAUTIFUL FEET . MOSSY FOOT PROJECT . NEVER QUIT BEACH FEST .

Recent commissions...

Commissioned work.
I often do commissioned paintings for people. Sometimes it's standard and other times it's a bizarre concept which makes it super fun. I recently was asked to paint Pro BMX RedBull rider Anthony Napolitan as a centaur. He also had to be using his bike frame as a bow & arrow. Haven't heard his reaction yet to the piece but it was fun to work on.
I also had to draw a nice image of a mother & daughter for a client. The image was so simple yet conveyed a lot. Drawing has such a calming affect when I work on a piece.

"Away in the Woods" show re-cap...

This past weekend I attended several art shows and events. One of them was the Away in the Woods show at Bear&Bird Gallery. A show inspired by Brother's Grimm tales. The show had a nice turn out and lots of little goodies to snack on. Thanks to all those who came out.
