Boneyard Arts Festival
Feb 13, 2009 in Adventures, Artwork, Awesome!, Entertainment, Local, The Future, Victory!
Mimi and I are officially WAY into this festival now. What started off as volunteering to work on the committee has now spun out of control. Whilst we’re going to be insanely busy until the end of April (at least), it should turn out to be incredibly fruitful. Our boss, the AWESOME Jeff Mellander, has offered to allow us temporary access to the currently unoccupied 17 Taylor Street (previously Verde Cafe and Gallery/ Jennifer North). We’ll be displaying a little of our own art, and we’re inviting a bunch of local “alternative” artists and musicians to join in. There will be paintings, photos, wood burning, henna, live music and DJs, and maybe even a bad ass custom motorcycle to boot!
Clear your calendars and plan on attending our opening day Thursday April 16th! Festival starts at noon, and we hope to be open until 11 or midnight. More details to come as we continue our planning.
Etsy:Poison Apple Tees
Jun 26, 2008 in Artwork, Design, Sites You Should Know About
I browse through Etsy a lot and I figure I need to start spreading the word about some of my favorite that I come across…
Poison Apple Shirts is run by Mark Lim who seems to be a modest Artist Graphic Entertainer. His Etsy shop displays a handful of tshirts with designs that are beyond awesome. From skulls to Koi to Robots inspired by Matisse (that’s the one I want!), there’s bound to be something for everyone!
Look Ma’ That’s Me!

I got a write up in The Buzz (for those of you that don’t know, it’s a local free publication) this week for showing my work at the Taste of Champaign this past weekend:
New Artists
Seeing artists like Rebecca Reid of Art Beco and Craig Downen of Steel Canvas really taking charge and trying to make a living at what they do was beyond cool. These artists took a gamble by putting themselves out there, and I think it paid off.
Well, Mister Matthew Strong, author of said art review column… it DID pay off. Thanks, man!

We Fly Only Tiny Star
In Progress, Acrylic on Canvas
With the Taste 16 days away… I’ll eventually stop making new paintings… maybe. :
Including this one I have 5 to finish. They are all at least at 50% complete. I’m beginning to accept that I might not have all of these to bring with me. And I’m mostly okay with that.
