Talk to Them about Art

Commissioned Bridge

I am working up a new logo here at work for a colleague and a design scenario caught her fancy enough for me to make a framed print for her .. a floating bridge in the colorful ether .. enjoy ..

YMCA Art Auction

I wanted to take this time to thank you for participating in the YMCA Art Auction last Thursday evening. Your painting of the American Skyline at Dusk was sold, however the American Skyline at Morning was not. I believe we will begin cutting checks the beginning of next week for all sold art.

We have a few options when it comes to returning your art. You can come pick it up anytime between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. during the week at our office in Bonner Springs. We are also planning a bigger event similar to the one we just hosted on October 4th. This will be held at The Chateau Avalon in the Legends area. We would be more than willing to hold on to your other piece and put it in this auction. Whatever you choose is fine by us. Let me know what you decide and if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks again for your participation!

The Art Door in the Summertime

A very good friend of mine, Mark, and his wife Jenny wanted to commission me to do a rather unique painting for a huge wall in the entryway of their home .. their request was an old door and to do whatever felt right on that flank of wood .. the result is this .. it was quite cool to do and I am getting rather comfortable doing work on pieces that are rather non-traditional .. soon, it will be signed/sealed/delivered to the home for a permanent resting place .. cheers out there ..

Hard Beans, Auctions, Banks and Indonesia

Here's a bit of what's been going on lately in the photo.paint world. First, there's a show at the Hard Bean Cafe in downtown Grandview that is going from May - June 2008. A video below shows a sweep of what the show looks like. Also, just gave several cityscapes to the YMCA for an auction in KCK on May 29th. Then, I have 3 pieces that will be on a group display at a Bank in Downtown Peculiar, MO. Finally, my good friend Leah will be taking several pieces of my art over the weekend to Indonesia for the 'travel' adventures. All will be well documented with video/pics for your later viewing pleasure .. I beleive that's all .. cheers ..

Shout out to Grandview Alternative School

I had the pleasure of being a guest speaker in Ms. Cameron's class at Grandview Alternative last week and it was quite cool. It's always nice to divulge the creative ways with the kids and I was impressed with the voracity of their work .. they key is to cultivate and I think these kids are off to a rousing start .. cheers ..

Blinding Light Signature Painting

My 10-year old boy, Zen, asked me to do a painting of what I thought it was going to be like when that first blast of light hits me right after one passes on. It seemed rather dour, but I decided to go with it. After I finished the piece, I showed Zen and he was immediately like, 'Wow Dad, I get to see your signature in the corner when the light hits me.' He's gone on and on how he will see my signature in the lower left hand corner when it's all said and done. Quite cool ..
