I'll shoot your hat as many times as I wanna

5 minute acrylic doodles make me happy.
watching too many clint eastwood movies... :D

Hello darlings. It's been a wild ride, and it looks like a few curves ahead. All good. I mean, curves are awesome, right?That's my cowboy mural. There was an AK47 painted on the floor, too.
There's Greg's awesome mural.



Anyways, we had The Gun Show. Man, I can't tell you how amazed I am that it happened, and how incredibly happy and grateful I am with its success. I pulled that show together in a week, and would never have been able to do it without the help and support of my friends. Special thanks to Greg Caggiano, who helped me set it all up in his studio space, and Brett Seamans n Lucy Lott for helping me get the ball rollin'. Thanks to everyone who gave me work to show, INCLUDING my professors <3

In other news, looks like I'm stayin in Rochester. Good people, good art scene, and I'll probably be sharing studio space in the Hungerford with the previously mentioned Greg and others. If all works out, we'll be trying to do a show like the Gun Show every month.

I'm happy about it. I love my friends here. I'm looking forward to a summer of painting and good music.

Tomorrow- going to Toronto to see Rammstein for the third effing time. Yeaah.
Then pulling things together for the honors show, class, a commission from the barn I ride at (i helped pull a horse's tooth out... gnarly) and other things.

Screamin'

Hey y'all!

here's a spread I'm working on for my editorial class. My partner is the amazing Cristina Maxon and we're doing an article on mountaintop clearing. The blue ridge mountains of appalachia are being blown to smithereens for the coal within them. This breaks our hearts.
I love those mountains. They're ancestral to my family.

full view to see!

So that's my pencil right now. I'm gonna acrylic it with colour soon. Stay tooned!

Also.


The amazing Greg Caggiano came to my rescue and we're putting on a show. We're showing work that was censored from the RIT Senior Illustration show as well as alumni and work of friends. There'll be photos and paintings and hopefully more. If you're a roc/RIT/past RIT kid and you wanna show a piece, drop me a line by Wednesday!

Life is awesome guys.
