RAWk show and leftovers

Happy (very) belated Thanksgiving, and all that jazz! This post will be like the leftovers everyone has inevitably stashed away in their fridge, as it's going to be updates of the past couple of weeks. Things have been incredibly hectic, but all for the better.

Lucidity was recently featured in a month-long show at the NC Museum of art in the A Life, Still exhibition. The same weekend of the reception for the show, it also won best animation at the Carrboro Film Festival. Thank you all for your support!

I now have a new show coming up with RAW on December 5th with several other local artists. It's going to be an eclectic gathering of people, so definitely come check it out. Chat, grab a drink, keep me company! There will be performing artists, painters, jewelers; everything you can imagine (and I'm not even exaggerating - you can view the local featured talent for yourself on the RAW site). It's the holiday RAWk show and it'll be located at Solas on Glenwood Avenue. Two stories are dedicated to the show, while the lower level will remain the usual restaurant with bar and half off appetizers.

Tickets can be purchased from my personal RAW page linked below. I'll be handing out hand drawn and inked art cards to all who buy tickets, as well as selling prints of my artwork at my booth. Tickets are $10 if purchased beforehand from the page, and $15 at the door. Get your tickets now, and come play! I hope to see you there.

On The Move

My updates to the blog may be up and down this month thanks to several (awesome) projects going on! I'm very excited about each and every one of them. If you'd like to get in contact with me since I'll be jumping all over the place, feel free to do so via Facebook:

In the meantime, below is my most recent completed piece - an entry for the Raleigh Arts Commission contest Art on the Move. Comments/critiques welcome!

The contest involved submitting art to be displayed on one of the city buses, so the wheels had to be taken into consideration. The round, gradient-filled circles at the bottom of the composition are for the cutout areas for the tires. I mimicked this shape throughout the piece. And you know me, I love graphic design and art nouveau. Raleigh is known as the City of Oaks, as well as for its promotion of environmentally friendly living, so I tried to incorporate these styles and themes into the piece.

When you don't have internet access, you don't exist

I've been lacking internet access, so updates haven't been so possible. Aside from other projects going on, I've been working on these little cards on and off. There are going to be several collections with different themes. So far, art nouveau women. Eventually famous horror movie monsters and random pop culture.

Art Nouveau ~ old but new

This is an older painting, but I finally had a decent photo taken of it. It is a little over seven ft. tall, and let me tell you, a pain to attach to the wall for a photoshoot.

This is still a work in progress, but I thought I'd go ahead and post the current product. Inspiration for the zombie crawl I'll inevitably take part in this year.

Happy October

This is the best month of the year! (And if you don't agree, well, you're wrong!)
