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...
Old Fourth Ward Art Festival Upcoming!
The next festival I have on my plate is the Old Fourth Ward Arts Festival. I have no idea what to expect! First, Old Fourth Ward is in an area where there are some artsy, trendy people, who should not be confused for the hobos which are also lurking about the area....

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
I think my problem applies to all people who are artists or crafters of any kind-- random stuff follows you. By follow, I mean the stuff you don't bring yourself to get rid of because it may just have a purpose at some point in in 80 years. Perhaps in sixty years you...
Cards!
I have printed up some cards now! It is only $3.00 for a set of two cards (not including any shipping). Right now I only offer the shoreline and trees in the fog image, but I may be able to offer any images of cards that you would like upon request, just e-mail me....
I Don’t Look Cool When I Paint
I've been painting over ten years and a realization dawned on me: I am unattractive when I paint. In movies artists always appear so... beautifully artist. There is a studio full of only art items which seem sporadic but interestingly placed, as if it were the mark of...
