Some Autumnal Drawings

Here are some recent drawings done with my sweet multicolor pens (Pilot G2s, FYI).

Twenty Small Paintings at Colorado Conservatory of Dance

I put up twenty small paintings at the Colorado Conservatory of Dance with my good friends and patrons, Heather and Jake Sutton.

These are for sale and the prices range from $40-80. The goal for this year was to try out smaller, cheaper, less skully paintings, and this will be a good chance to test ’em out in a kid-friendly setting yep yep!

Special thanks to @tcabeen for providing some of the titles.

Check out the fancy label

Five Paintings at Fort Collins’ Downtown Artery, after all

Alright, so I ended up showing five paintings at the Downtown Artery in Fort Collins, Colorado. The Artery really did a good job with the labels.

Hey, these are all still totally for sale. I am very money-crazy.

These paintings are about dance moves, and they were done quickly in late 2008.

Paintings at Luscious Nectar, Fort Collins

Checkemitout I’ve got paintings showing at the Luscious Nectar smoothie bar up in Fort Collins, Colorado during July 2013.

I was not able to attend the opening, but there appears to have been some breakin’ dancin’.

I will be live painting July 19 at this location.

I think both these photos were taken by the promoter and DJ, Chris Whitman.

Large Black and White Abstract

I left a large abstract painting with some random dude* at my last job in Iowa before moving to Colorado four years ago. Here’s the painting on his office wall, I believe.
