Busy; An absolute understatement

Wow-wee-wow-wow-WOW! Haha!

I have received such wonderful news within the past couple weeks that I am just BURSTING to tell everyone!

First off--

FRIDAY- I will be at 83 Gallery's opening of their new show to meet and greet with guests, and fellow artists. I have already sold some pieces and have confidence the rest of the show will be a success for myself and the gallery!

 I LOVE the crew that runs that ship. They are all so laid back and enjoy what they do. I am certain it will be an enjoyable show, and rumor has it... the dark arts will be paying a visit in magician form.








SATURDAY- I will be participating in The Columbus -Gay Street District's Moonlight Market via- VINYL FRONTIER

You won't want to miss it! Other wonderful local vendors and artists will be there! Come support your local businesses AND artists.

LOOK-OUT for the debut of "The Drop Deads" My latest creations of some guys just playing music and having a good time. THESE GUYS ARE HOT! They will definitely go QUICK!


 I already lost one banjo player, which I heard through a grape vine can be seen on display to the public over at The Tree Bar in Grandview.

The guy to my left is "Red" Hot.




SUNDAY- The close of my weekend will bring a trip over to Flutterby Ceramics in Beautiful Baltimore, Ohio to drop off some more artwork and WHO KNOWS maybe I'll paint a piece or two! It's always so fun and relaxing.


Flying Folk Pig has officially left the building and flown off into someone else's home!! 
Good-bye, Flying Folk Pig! Godspeed!


CLINTONVILLE ARTS AND MUSIC FESTIVAL-
It's official and I have received my vendor acceptance notice! I will be there! More details to come!



NOW, FOR SOME NEW ARTWORK:

                                "Buenos Noches, Querida Luna"

July 2013 UPDATES

It's official... the summer of 2013 is here!

It brings forth exciting news and changes. 

Today I will be headed out to Beautiful Baltimore, OHIO to set up at FLUTTERBY CERAMICS. My walls at home this morning are starting to looks bare as I ship my portraits out that way for their store's grand opening. A lot of other talented people will be showing their art as well. It's an exciting time and I wish their store the best. Baltimore could used something exciting like this to help spur some interest into their little city.

 Well, I did hear some unfortunate news, but it still ended up being worth while. The place I was planning on having a month long show informed me this weekend that they planned on closing up shop, because of lack of interest in their area.  However, they have been courteous enough to still offer my pieces for sale during their gallery hop for the area, so it kind of works itself out in the end... in a non official way. 

Doris Day singing "Que Sera Sera" taught me a valuable lesson in life and I find myself to be a much happier person by not being affected by every tiny aspect of my life that may go wrong. 

I have a feeling some more exciting news may be headed my way, but the jury (in some cases literally) is still out.

  The Gallery 83 showing will be coming to a close this upcoming weekend, but it brought forth a lot of excitement generated by my pieces. I sold a couple of pieces, then sold some more, which always makes me happy and I am sure the gallery owners as well. 

Well, onward and upward towards the stars.
