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.

Sneek Peak update...

I was asked by a few people if I've still been drawing or painting.
The answer is: Yes! Of course I am. The issue is most of them are commisions that I haven't been able to share yet. I have been pretty busy with several paintings and drawings lately. But, just for my lovely viewers out there, I've decided to share small sections of several pieces I've been working on. Most are complete and a few are still in process.
Enjoy your little preview at things to come...
