TLP Live Draw

I'm finally getting around to posting pics from the live draw I participated in at The London Police opening reception hosted by the BLDG. Chaz from The London Police, Julie Hill and myself drew a little something on one of the BLDG's gallery walls for about 20 minutes. I decided to go with a bear smoking a pipe and wearing a bow tie. After the 20 minutes was up, everyone attending was invited to come up and draw something also. A week later my little boy even got to take part in drawing on the wall as well as all over himself. The whole night turned out to be great and I had a blast doing it. You can check out the pics below to see how much fun was being had.

The London Police

Our friends over at the BLDG will be hosting the opening reception of British art collective The London Police tonight from 8pm-11pm. Along with showcasing new original works of Kentucky and Cincinnati themed paintings, The London Police will also be hosting a live draw tonight which I, along with others, will be participating in. And as far as I understand, is open to anyone who wants to take part. So if you're looking for something to do tonight, swing by the BLDG and check out some really outstanding artwork from these Amsterdam based artists.

SXSW 2010

With South by Southwest festivities in full swing right now, I thought I'd throw up a few pics of this years poster I had the opportunity to work on along side of Keith Neltner. This is the second year we've created a poster for SXSW and working on it again this year was just as fun if not more. Printed by the BLDG, our poster is a 19x25, 5 color screenprint and is on sale this week at the fest. Trying to make his way to Austin, this poor 'lil guy is having a bit of car trouble and is looking for a ride.

Rise Up Haiti

I was honored to participate alongside a bunch of other talented artists in creating an original piece of artwork for last nights Rise Up Haiti event at The Carnegie here in Covington. Each piece had one of Jonathan Willis's photos of a Haitian child screenprinted on the work. The benefit raised money for the Restavek Foundation which is helping the children of Haiti. The artwork was auctioned off and with all the money going to the foundation. Thanks to everyone who put the event together and to everyone who came out and made last night a huge success.

Two New Prints

Ink Bleeds II was a great success this past Friday night. A ton of great work hanging on the walls by a lot of talented artists. Thanks to everyone who came out, grabbed a print and said hi. And a special thanks to the Art Academy and the slew of help from everyone who kindly volunteered their time to pull this thing off. Definitely was great fun.


I debuted two new art prints on Friday. First up is Bats, Bats, Bats. I had posted process pics of these guys randomly over the last couple of weeks. These guys are ready to attack your walls day or night with their glow-in-the-dark ink. These were screenprinted by the fine folks at the BLDG. Printed on Steel Blue French Paper, these are signed and numbered edition of 55.


The Bird Watcher is another new print fresh of the press that takes you on a tight time flight across the moonlit sky. Also printed by the BLDG, these are 19x25, 3 colors printed on Nightshift Blue French Paper. As always signed and numbered edition of 50.

Both on sale now in the store.

Ink Bleeds II Update

The gallery show on Friday is from 5pm to 9pm. I originally said from 9pm to 12am. That would actually be the after party. Yes I know, I am dumb, dumb.

Ink Bleeds II
