More B&B Pics

Here are some more pics of the gallery set up at Benjamin Benjamin, as promised. The show is going to be up for a while (I think through January), so if you get a chance make sure to stop by and support your local starving artists!

Here's the outside so you know what to look for:

My stuff on the wall, view 2:OMG!

Print show recap

The Benjamin Benjamin show was a big success and the gallery looked great! Sold a few prints, met some awesome people; all in all a pretty good night. A big thanks to everyone who came out and to everyone who sent well wishes. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera, so all I have is a camera phone photo to share. I'll try to return and get some better shots of the whole gallery but for now, this will do. Enjoy!

Print Show

In need of gifts for those fancy pants friends who have everything? Well you should come down to Benjamin Benjamin and buy some of my prints at their December Print Show this First Thursday (Dec. 2nd)! I've loved the Benjamin Benjamin art gallery for some time now, and I'm super excited to be a part of it. If you've never had the pleasure of visiting Benjamin Benjamin (1720 NW Lovejoy, conveniently located right off the street car), you need to check them out, and not just because I'm in this show. The gallery has a great sense of humor (check out their upcoming show list) and offers a bit of everything. For this show I'll have some originals up and a ton of prints for sale. Hope to see you there!

FREAK'N TIME!

Ok, so I know I posted the color comp a month ago but this really didn't take me that long...actually, besides some unexpected material mishaps (who knew unseen artist tape residue+ oil paint=NEVER DRYING), this didn't take nearly as long as I expected. This is the first pass at the color correction, but I wanted to get the final up ASAP. There is also a bit more at top that was cropped (about a 1/4in) in this version, but like I said, I wanted to get this up on the site before I was distracted by something shiny again. Enjoy!



UPDATE: posted the slightly better version without missing top part.

In Progress!!!!!!!

It's been a crazy couple of months, but to keep this silly blog active, I thought I'd post the color comp of my current project. I love this idea, and I hope the real painting lives up to the comp because it should be sweet. I'm about a third of the way in and it is looking good, so I'll keep you (who?) updated!

Mini-Show Pics

So my mini show at Green Luck Media Group's office was crazy. There was sweet live music (Serious Business-who in my opinion are the best thing I've heard live from Portland period) beer a plenty, and a ton of people having a damn good time. My work looked a bit tiny on those big walls, especially compared to the other artist (who's name I am at a loss for right now) but it was too fun to care. Here are some (very blurry) pics for your enjoyment!

Good times!

Last Minute Mini-Show!

So I was wandering aimlessly through the void of cyberspace, as I am known to do, and I happened upon a post in Portland's Craigslist about a media group needing some art to bedazzle their walls. I responded and POOF!, within 24 hours I was grabbing everything I had available off my walls and running downtown to Green Luck Media Group's studio space. It was a bit last minute but hey, spontaneity is the goulash of life, right? Anyway, there is going to be an open house this Friday @ 8:30 where they will be showing off their space and it should be fun. Come support them and me!
