Wednesday, June 24, 2011--Digital Prints Now Available! While rebuilding my site, I’ve also been producing my first ever giclee prints!  As of now they are all printed on canvas, but in due time I’ll have more options available. I will be making prints of several older pieces as well as new work, so if you missed your chance at the original, you can still own a print!  Prints are an affordable alternative to purchasing original art, and you are helping an artist make his way.  Get them while they’re hot! Wednesday, June 24, 2011--FightingMediocrity.com Reboot! For more than a year I’ve been telling myself I need to redo my website (some friends have been telling me this as well...)  I came across this nice little template-based web design program called Xara which is fairly simple to use, and here we are.  This new version is much cleaner and more organized than my old rag-tag copy-and- paste-code site from before.  The most notable improvement is the gallery layout, but pages such as this one will help me keep everyone updated on what projects I’m currently working on.  The “news” on this page up to this point is just a recap of the past year or so. News Saturday, April 9th, 2011--Alchemy Unleashed! Art Show This was, by far, Cloudspace’s most successful show to date.  Jasmine Becket-Griffith drew a crowd of over 150 people, and showed the rest of us how it’s done.  I painted 4 new pieces for this show, using a music/alchemy theme: Consumed (fire), Deep Dweller (water), Dust to Dust (earth), and Icarus at Night (wind). Saturday, December 4th, 2010--Early Bird Special Art Show! A pre-holliday art sale extravaganza!  This was the place to be if you like insanely low priced, quality art!  I painted 10 music pieces for this show. Many people left with some of their holiday shopping done, or at least some new decorations for their home; several artists left with some cash to buy presents for others!  Ah, the circle of life... Saturday, October 23, 1010--The Walls Are Bleeding...Art! Art Show... This was our Halloween themed show at Cloudspace.  Krondor Krew performed.  Sarah remorselessly ripped my ninja mask in half.  I was traumatized.  Oh, there was also art!  I came armed with 10 Ethereal Skull paintings. Saturday, September 25th, 2010--Brain Storm, A Cloudspace Gallery Art Show! A friend of mine, Nina Talley, works at a software development office called Cloudspace.  They are into supporting local artists by giving us a place to display our work, and have the occasional show.  Nina is the gallery curator, and Brain Storm was the first show at Cloudspace. Friday & Saturday, June 11-12, 2010--Uncertainty of Existence Open House Art Show! So, one recipe for a good time I’ve come up with requires an empty house, a few coolers of beer, several bottles of wine, snacks, a few hundred pieces of art on the walls, a DJ, and 100 or so friends, old and new.  My roommates bought a house of their own and moved out, leaving me with an empty house, which screamed opportunity!  Spent a few weeks setting up with my girlfriend Sarah’s help, for what turned out to be a great show.  An old buddy of mine, Jon Pippio, DJ’d on the second night of the show while I painted Blue Skull as people looked on.  It was a very successful weekend, and I have a newfound respect for anyone who does the behind the scenes work of putting on an art show. Oof! Thursday, December 3, 2009--First Thursdays Art Show At the Orlando Museum of Art! I would love to say I’ve shown my work at the Orlando Museum of Art, and TECHNICALLY now I have; unfortunately, I have to make it clear that the First Thursdays Event is not associated with the museum.  Boo.  Anyway, I had three pieces in the show: Saturn Devouring His Children, Three Musicians, and “Filthy Please.”  Saturday, December 3rd, 2011--Second Annual Early Bird Special Show! Another great Cloudspace show!  I came bearing gifts of all kinds--20 new spliced paintings, as well as the debut of over 100 digital prints.  Art, friends, food and beer = win!
