I Built This City for Justin Brancato

A certain Justin Brancato character suggested:
For your next show you should install the paintings as if the sides were the FACE of the canvas. You have my blessing.

So I built this city of paintings in progress for the benefit of one Justin Brancato.

New Panels for Kevin

These portraits of weird-looking white males are for Kevin Kooyman’s Panel Project in Iowa.

Some Autumnal Drawings

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.

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, this triptych printed on three 12″x16″ stretched canvases is available for $200, y’all.

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.

Update

Alright, the live-painting is done as of July 19, 2013. Here are three photos. First two are from Luscious Nectar and Chris Whitman, and the last is my photo.

Another Update

Got a good close up of my painting with proper light and alla that, courtesy Chris Whitman.
