Art on the run...

My April art show at Bacon & Bakin' has come down to make room for some of Lee Bretschneider's May madness. But fear naught! If you missed seeing the show you have a second chance! The good folks over at Gamescape asked if I could bring the show over to their store. So make sure you head on down to Gamescape to have a look at my work and play some video games. There even might be a new piece added to the show *cough* Anglerphant *cough*.

Gamescape
3220 Apalachee Pkwy, #4
Tallahassee, FL, 32311

Don't walk run! The art is on the walls NOW!!! I will be back on Wednesday with a new piece I have been working on. Until then...

Art Show recap and round up

The big show opening was this past Friday evening. A big thanks to all that came out and showed their support both in person as well as on the internet. There was a great turn out and I could not have hoped for more! I even had a chance to finally meet fellow local fantasy artist Melissa Findley! I can now confirm she is an actual human and not a manifestation of the internet. Also, a huge thanks to my friends Jenn and Allen for making the trek up from St. Pete, you guys are awesome, it was great to see you both.

The night is still kind of a blur of crowds, music, parades, martial arts, fun and baked goods. Here are some photos from Friday. I should be putting up more over on my Facebook account soon. *UPDATE* If you have a Facebook account my additional photos to the opening can be seen HERE!

You need to have a good sign to direct traffic. Apparently my exclamation points were not prominent enough and folks kept looking for "Food Art".

I think people kept wondering why I had multiple drawings of the same thing in one frame...

The color side of the room...

The back and white side of the room...

Even Minotaur Lords need a good home to hang in.

It is hard to tell from this bad photo in a bad lighting, but I am super happy with how the Scuttling Grizzly prints.

RAWR! I fill the frame nicely!!!

The real reasons so many people showed up! OM NOM NOM NOM NOM! This case was very sparse come the end of the evening.

A shot of the crowds when they were at their lowest. I was outside most of the evening since it was so crowded inside.

Bacon & Bakin' certainly had a great night and I was happy to be a part of their grand opening at their new location. A big thanks to Mandy and Jackson for making me a part of it! Good luck at the new location!

I will see you all back here on Wednesday with hopefully something new. Until then...

Art Show Set up (By the way, the show is TONIGHT!)

If you some how missed it, I have a show of selected works opening tonight and running the rest of April. I hung the work on Wednesday afternoon and everything is almost ready to go. There were a couple of hurdles... I apparently got all my measurements wrong when I was planning out the show... OOPS! It wasn't a complete nightmare, some quick adjustments and a little math solved the problem very quickly. Remember, measure twice put a hook on the wall once. Some furniture got moved around for me which then opened up some more wall space for me. I ran around yesterday and got two additional pieces ready to hang this afternoon before everything gets going. Here are some images that I took during the hanging process...

Just where my work belongs... on the floor behind furniture...

My drawings like to kick back, relax and enjoy the sweet life...

Holy crap! Stuff is actually one the walls... and crocked...

Best laid plans of mice and men...

I am really happy with how everything looks up on the wall. I have actually moved past the freaking out stage and entered the mild anticipation stage. If you are in the Tallahassee area I hope to see you at the show tonight! I will have buttons to give away. I will be sure to take lots more photos to share with you on Monday. Until then...

An art show with a hint of bacon

I have been mentioning that I have an art show coming up, well, here are all the details!

As part of Bacon and Bakin's Grand Opening and April's First Friday, I will be exhibiting a selection of my work at B&B's new location in Railroad Square Art Park! Be sure to come out Friday April 2nd between 6 - 9 pm to enjoy art, food, and fun.

Come for the Bacon and Bakin food, stay for my art!

Things coming down the pipeline

Stopping by quickly today to let you all know about some things to keep an eye out for in the coming week(s) and month(s).

In two weeks I will be taking part in a charity art auction for the Spread the Love Charity benefiting Stephanie Little. The art auction is on January 30th in Tallahassee, Florida. I will have at least one piece in this auction. I will also be selling on ebay a full set of turnarounds for a miniature I designed for Dreamblade, with all proceeds going to the charity. This will be the first time I have sold any of my original work produced for Dreamblade. The auction will be going up next Sunday or Monday. I will be keeping you all up to date as this progresses. I hope everyone interested in owning some of my original art work will take this opportunity to win some art and to help Stephanie.

In the coming months I will also be showing work at the new location of Bacon & Bakin'. They will be moving soon and will be able to take part in the local First Friday events. They have asked me if I would care to show work in their business in March or April. I look forward to doing this and hope that if you are in the Tallahassee area that you will come out. I will update you on this as I know more. If you are curious to the types of cool things Bacon & Bakin' makes, check out these cool Cthulhu cupcakes I got to have at my birthday this past October. Ancient God yummy goodness!

You will go mad at the sight of these tasty treats!

Beware the Deep Ones!

Eyes of the Beholders! RAWR!

I will continue to update you on these events as I know more. I will be back on Wednesday at my normal posting time. Until then...
