So's 'The heART Show' in Boston which opened on the 3rd(& is still running for the remainder of February) has been well received & a few of my paintings from the exhibition have found new homes! (Remember new owners: don't get them wet, keep them away from bright lights...especially sunlight & don't ever feed them after midnight!) Great job to Brent at The Hallway Gallery for curating...
The 'Out o' the Woodwork' group show in Chicago which opened the 5th(yes...still running too) was also a hit, but there was a problem there for me: my paintings for the show never arrived due to the crazy amount of icy goodness falling from the sky. Shed no tears just yet (as I almost did) as my pieces were simply a little arrogant & decided to show up fashionably late in a failed attempt that all eyes would be on them. I got the word my two paintings arrived late last week, almost three weeks after I sent them! The good people at OhNo!Doom Gallery gave me a few options for what we could do & I happily accepted their offer of them hanging on to the canvases & using them in an upcoming show opening in June. I'll of course let you know of all the details the closer it gets....but it's going to be "heavy"!
I've spent this month so far doing some more sketching of creepy characters for the group show in Detroit coming up, but also tried my hand at something I haven't done before. I was forwarded some info about a show opening on Feb. 26th in Arizona that Spraygraphic was throwin'. 'Fill in the Groove' is their Third Annual Vinyl Art Show where they display art on albums from all kinds of great artists. Whelp I grabbed a couple from my collection that I never listened to(sorry Spandau Ballet) & started spraying & flinging paint all over them. The end result turned out to be something pretty nifty which I enjoyed doing. I'm definitely going to do some more of these in the future & put a few up in my shop hopefully soon & if you wanna special order one, by all means let me know. Check out my first, two vinyl paintings eva:
"the creature" - spray paint/acrylic on 12" vinyl:
"the monster" - spray paint/acrylic on 12" vinyl:
So yeah...the 'Fill in the Groove' show will open February 26th at Hoodlums Music in Tempe, AZ & will run until April 15th. Definitely check this out if you're in the area as I've seen a few of the other artists' yummy creations & it's gonna be awesome! Of course all vinyl art will be on sale there as well so go get first dibs!
I also took the time to paint a piece for a benefit in Italy. 2 year old Mattia Fagnoni suffers from a very rare, degenerative disease called "Sandhoff Syndrome" & his parents have created the 'Mattia Fagnoni Association' to help raise awareness & funds in finding a cure. You can read about this amazing family on ESP Visuals' blog or become more aware of this genetic disease at NTSAD.org. Here's the painting I sent for their art show which will run April 26th-May 8th at Palazzo Filangeri in Naples, Italy. There is an amazing amount of artist from all over the world showing support, so it's a real honor to be a part of such a great thing. 100% of the proceeds benefit the MFA:
"earl grey & chamomile"- 10"x 8" watercolor & india ink on gesso panel:
Back to the drawing board....
