Completed Comission!
Doing a commissioned piece for someone can sometimes be tricky, especially when you are creating a piece for someone who is not well-versed in "art language." It can be difficult for that person to describe what it is they are looking for in style, color or technique....
29 Years– Exit Through the Gift Shop
I decided that to celebrate my 29th birthday that I would do some graffiti art. It is unlike any other art I have ever done, I wanted to do something different. I shared this thought with a friend who encouraged me to see "Exit Through the Gift Shop," which is a...
Looking Back on a Year of Festivals
I've been painting for a long time, oven ten years. I've done comissions and murials but none of that quite compares to the experience I have gained working at art festivals. I was thinking about everything that I had learned and thought about when it came to art and...

Old Fourth Ward (the Aftermath!)
The Old Fourth Ward Festival made it's debut this year with me as one of the attending artists. If you aren't familiar with the Georgia area, it's next to the Masquerade (a pretty well-known concert hall in Georgia). The park is new and it was a pretty little area to...

Lenior City Festival 2013
Survived Lenior City Art Festiva! This is the second year I have done the Lenior City Art Festival and unfortunately it decided to rain pretty hard Saturday night. Thunder, lightening, the whole nine yards. I was lucky that I didn't use an easy-up tent for this one...
Buckhead Art Festival 2013
My first "large" show of the year was at the Buckhead Art Festival 2013. It was the first time I had done this festival, which is still a fairly new festival for the area. The festival was a good one for me because of where my tent was, which was near one of the ends...
The Marietta Artist Market Begins!
If anyone is interested in how they came come across me the easiest way to find me is at the Marietta Artists Market. It isn't a large get together (maybe 30 artists or so), but it is something that has been consistently pleasant for me to be a part of. I've enjoyed...
Random Stuff that Follows Me
