Buffalo Blue

Detail of Buffalo Blue, Acrylic on wood panel, 8x16", 2008.

This is a detail of another painting that I did for the show this past Friday. I went with a flat graphic look for this one. The design of the character and the colors turned out so well that I'm thinking about making this my logo of sorts for the Sweatybuffalo site. I just have to tweak it a little to make it fit.

I should have the pictures from the opening soon. Unfortunately I did not get any pictures myself of the opening but my sister and friend did so I'm waiting for them to send me some.

The gallery is called The Nth Degree and is located on 683 West King St. Boone, NC. I will try to post some pictures from the event after everything settles down.

Crunch time...

Just wanted to show a little bit of what I have been working on for the last month now. These images are from pieces that will be in my first ever solo show at the Nth gallery here in Boone, NC. The opening reception will be on Friday, October 3rd, from 7:30 until everybody leaves.
I still have a lot to do before the end of the month. But I'm pleased with how everything is turning out. As of right now I will have 9 to 10 new pieces going into the show. I will post more as I get them finished. Hope you like.

Gallery Show in Connecticut

The Cap'n, Acrylic gouache on cradled Gessobord, 8x8".

While I was at Heroes Con this year, I got a wonderful offer to submit a piece of art relating to super heroes to a gallery in Connecticut. I ended up submitting the Cap painting above along with the pencil drawing of Medusa that I did earlier this month. The exhibition is entitled Identity Theft: Reinventing the Comic Hero and it is being held at the Guildford Art Center in Guilford, CT. The opening reception is July 11th from 5 - 9pm. The exhibition will be on display from July 11 till Aug. 14. I included a link that has more info about the event. From what I've seen of the pieces that were sent to me through email, this show is going to be awesome. Wish there was a way I could get up there to see the show, but I can't get off from work. Anyway, a big thank you goes out to Chris Uminga and Matt Fletcher for the opportunity to show my stuff out there.

Procrastination is Awesome!

Here is my submission for a juried art show at a local gallery here in Boone, NC. The theme for the show is Art-by-Numbers. My piece is called "Number Cruncher" and it is acrylic gouache on panel. I literally just finished it 30 minutes before it was due at the gallery. I probably could have done a little more to it, but I'm pleased with how it turned out. I think the frame took me longer to make than the actual painting. Who says procrastination is bad?

Nimbus the Cloud Boy

Here is a piece I did for a Halloween show last year at a local gallery here in Boone called the Nth Degree. It is acrylic on linen 9x12. I've had this image in mind for the better part of a year now and I was finally able to paint it. I love doing random characters like this.
