New Show! And my thoughts on the BTC show.

Hey Everybody! What's up?
Right off the bat, BAM - new show!
Part of the "Chicago Artists Month" and the Anysquared org.
Life in Progress: Unfinished (and, I'm one of the artists featured on their site.)
Friday, October 8, @ New Wave Coffee - 2557 N. Milwaukee.
 I'll be showing 2 of my best shirt pieces AND you get a peek into my sketchbook showing new concepts, ideas, plans, and sketches. (All the stuff you're not supposed to see!!)

And the coffee shop that is hosting the event ROCKS MY SOCKS!! Check out some pictures on their facebook page.

Secondly, the 'Beyond the Coyote' show at the Flat Iron Arts building.
It was a very interesting weekend. I displayed 4 of my 'panoramic-puzzle' type photo pieces.

1.) Train - (The Viewers Choice winner for technical skill from the Beverly Arts Center show) 40"x10" - $150
  




2.) New York's Upper West Side seen from the Central Park Reservoir (the first photo piece I did) 40"x11" - $150
3.) Fisherman at Sunset - (A piece that's been floating around for a while, but never shown) 40"x16" - $175
4.) The Warming Glow of Concrete Mountains (Welcome Home) - (A collage of photos taken in Chicago's Grant Park, by Buckingham Fountain.) 40"x8" $150



The response to the work was mostly positive, and well received, so because of that, these 4 are now available to buy, framed or unframed. (The prices above are the Special Flat Iron price and framed. In 30 days, they'll go back to their original prices. So, get these now!)


Currently, I have 4 shirts, 3 paintings, and one mixed media piece in progress. Results soon to follow.

Thanks everybody who sees this, you guys rock.
Let me know if you plan on stopping by the show next week. It should be pretty cool.

PS- I've just got to come out & say this. When you're out shopping at Target, Walmart, Menards, etc. PLEASE breeze past the art & decor aisles. You're buying computer printed images that are reproduced thousands of times. (don't get fooled. Those paint strokes are made of a clear gel and done by machine.)
Support your local artists!
