Its been too long!

So its been a bit since I've updated... Ive been quite the busy bee. So here we go. Last time I updated was when I was headed to good ol NH for the Live Free or Die expo! All in all I have to say it was a pretty good time.. I saw some old friends from Hobo Tattoo and made some new friends.... Heres a few pictures from the weekend.

Gclef.. this is actually the piece that popped my convention cherry =)

Art for AIDS show..

Here's a couple pictures from the Art for AIDS opening in Hartford.. What a GREAT time!


These were all the pieces from the "art grab". It was an overwhelming site to see such a range of artwork styles. I had a hard time picking which piece I'd grab!


This is my donated piece.. 'And the peacock led him in"



This is a picture of the gentleman who chose my piece!! Thank you whoever you are!!

Me.. wine glass.. trying to choose. If any of you know me, I'm horrible at making decisions when given too many choices!

This is a picture of me with the piece I chose. The amazing work of Tom Ryans..

Overall this was an amazing event. You walked in and they had a decorate your own wine glass station. How fun!! It was sponsored by Hotel California Tequila, so of course there were drinks flowing!

Here are some links to check out!

sneeky peeky....

Well. Here it is. This is my third oil painting, and really the first one with a lot of detail. Im not sure how many hours I have in on this piece but let me tell you, it was fun doing it. Most of you that read this are artists yourselves, so you understand the process:

-Its a love/hate relationship. (love at first sight.. hate as last glance)

-The 'I have a dead line' feeling. (late hours.sleepless nights.)

-The, as i like to say, 'sunday night homework kid' aspect. ('"oh, ive got plenty of time" and starting it the week before deadline.)

Well. Its all worth it. Every single overblend, everytime I dropped a brush on previously painted section, dipping my paint brush in my coffee instead of Turpenoid.

The outcome is all worth it.

I finished one today.. and laid one out right when I got home....

But anywho, This piece is going to be in the Hope Gallery Grand Re-Opening, which I'm very proud to say I am apart of. The show is this Friday and as always, will be a spectacular event..

Til then..

Well, I've read through that handbook for the recently deceased.It says: 'live people ignore the strange and unusual.I,myself,am strange and unusual.

Yesterday I took a trip into the city via Metronorth with my good pal/Broseph/fellow tattooist Frank Luca. We headed in to the M.O.M.A. to see the Tim Burton art exhibit. Let me tell you, it was, by far, one of the most amazing and inspiring art exhibits ive ever laid these big blue eyes on. Simply enchanting. As most of you know, you cant take photos, so i did some sneaky shots. A couple are kind of blurry, but you get the drift. After the private tour of the exhibit, we were able to catch BeetleJuice on the big screen. Beetlejuice is by far one of my favorite movies EVER. With an amazing cast (Catherine Ohara, Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, Winona Ryder and Batman himself Michael Keaton) and an amazing score from the talented Danny Elfman (Oingo Boingo) how can you do wrong? I will admit I hadnt ever seen it in a theater, with the release date of 1988, I was a wee young lad of 9. So it was truly entertaining to see it in a theater. In all, I do suggest making some time to see this exhibit for yourself. The exhibit is open from November 22, 2009–April 26, 2010. It has certainly made me want to sketch like mad and open up my imagination. I believe it will do the same for you.
Enjoy.
