Dusting off the website

In late August I found out that my proposed piece for Por Vida V had been accepted. I immediately began working out the details of the sketches I had completed earlier. This wasn't just a painting, it was going to be seven and they were all going to be connected together somehow. Many late nights came and went and just a few days before the deadline we received a week extension. That was a great weight off my back and it allowed me to give some extra attention to the remaining details.Easily the most personal piece of art I have ever created. I'm very happy with how it came together and manifested my vision of it.

"Hope and Strength" - Acrylic, thread and feathers. 27 x 50 inches

Por Vida is an annual show/event that applies a contemporary take on the traditional Mexican holiday Día de los Muertos (Day of The Dead). Por Vida integrates a themed and curated art exhibit, food and drink, music and installation spaces. It was created by Columbus, Ohio artist Kat Marie Moya who I have known for over 14 years.

I have even posted a few new songs to soundcloud.

Salo web site completed!

Just put some finishing touches on the web site I created for the NYC jazz band Salo. Ben Gallina commissioned me to do the cover art for their recent debut release. Following up with a web site that complimented the cover art seemed like the logical progression. I present to you: www.salo.bengallina.com.
Next up will be a redesign of Ben's personal site.

I recently helped Andrea Kinter set up a web site to promote her new photography business, Rainbows & Ribbons Photography. We used a flash-based template solution which allowed me to do a little design customization. I also created some marketing collateral for Andrea as well.

Derby Outfitters has been live since early this spring: www.derbyoutfitters.com
