UARTS' MAKING IT RECEPTION

The UARTS Making IT reception had a decent crowd, and it was nice to sort of roam around unnoticed noticing people looking at my piece, talking about it, getting close, pointing,  analyzing it, and taking it in. It was a nice night.

Here are some images from the event below.

STUDIO

Getting some new things rolling at the studio (my friend Justin and I moved in at the beginning of September, and we are sharing a space on the 6th floor of the VOX Populi building.) There are some larger paintings in the works, as well as some smaller works on paper. In addition, I posted some pages from my sketchbook as of recently (some are sketches for the larger paintings.)

MAKING IT: UARTS ALUMNI SHOW

I will be participating in the UARTS alumni show Making IT, taking place on Saturday, October 22^nd, 2011. I have one piece in the show called Graced, a newer collage that was made over this past summer. Come out if you can, and enjoy the fruits of some UARTS “post-gratitude.”

SKETCHBOOK

Here are some sketckes from my book that I have been working on on-and-off for a few months now. The images aren't the best, but I'm afraid it's all I can produce for the time being. I'm hoping to post more in the near future.

PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR AMBITIONS

These are some artists that have been sort of in the back of my mind/pulled up on my browser lately. 

Joe Bradley

 Ann Edholm

Blinky Palermo

Also just finished this book on Barnett Newman not too long ago. It has been helping me to refine my thoughts, and realize how much I have in common with him.
