Typographica 1

As promised, here's another glimpse of the project I'll be debuting at #Hashtag Gallery's The Biggest Little Art Show in the City. 

Inspired by my love of typography, and seeing so many great 'drawing a day' type projects similarly initiated by friends, Typographica 1 is a 26 4" x 4" hand-painted wood block panel series of the alphabet, rendered in a number of different fonts. 

Come out to the show, have a look, enjoy a drink or two, maybe pick up a one-of-a-kind christams gift for someone's desk!

4x4 Show!

Lovely Saturday morning hanging with a few of my fav buds: Mike Wazowski (strong coffee included), and Piebald. 

I'm taking part in a show that opens on the 12th at Hashtag, thought I'd post a little preview of what I've got in store:

There's gonna be tons of little 4x4 original paintings from artists all over the world. Perfect for stocking stuffers! Come check it out, click and RSVP here: Hashtag Gallery.

My most recent infographic for the homebuyers blog went up this week, based on information provided by one of the world's leading quartz surface producers (Caesarstone) about the mineral. It was accompanied by an interview detailing more of the process involved in producing quartz surfaces. See the graphic larger and the article here.

Some Life Drawings!

I've been attending a great bi-weekly life drawing session with Kagan McLeod recently. Feels great to work the rust off. Drawings are still coming out a bit muddy, not enough structure....but here's a few that aren't too terrible.
