Summer Street Art Market

I took part in a huge art show Saturday the 14th. There were lots of great art...vendors? There was a fashion show and open studios upstairs, live bands and DJs complete with dubstep, free booze, and lots and lots of people.
Here are a few views from my table. i am slowly growing my setup to show more of my art. I bought a second table and it really helps a lot to have the extra space. Its cool that i can show up somewhere in my two-door coupe and have an art booth set up in about 10-15 minutes!

This was a fun gig. There was a $10 cover to get in so there were some avid art fans coming in to check things out. Almost everybody was excited to be there and very friendly. I like meeting new people doing these things. I cant say that enough.

I want to do this more. My calendar is free starting in August so if anybody out there knows of something going on let me know!

I been busy...

I've been doing a lot of little cons and fests and taculars lately. So much so that my drawing output has slowed way down. But thats about to change as i have a couple weeks between shows. My next gig is April 14 at Summer Street Studios. Should be fun!
I put these together especially for my table gigs. They wont be on my bigcartel since i only made five of them and havent found a source to buy more lamps from.

Craftacular at Hello Lucky on Studemont. I got a nice mild sunburn.

Minicon!
Looked like it was going to be a sketchy show at first so here i am uptight and set up in front of an old matress.. It was so dark and humid in this place and in the hood too. But the people there were super nice and i sold more art there than anywhere else! Dont judge a book by its muthufuckin cover yo!

Man! I sold a painting before this thing even started! This was such a nice show, with the perfect weather and the art fans milling about. There was plenty of traffic all day long and i got to meet some cool artists.

Wholefoods Day 2
Since there were fewer artists set up, they moved us to the front of the entrance. Pretty much anybody that went in to shop got to see my stuff. There were a bunch of laughs had this day. It seems like older people are really tickled by my sense of humor. One guy stood in front of me and freaked over one piece. He had been to prison at one point in his life and i guess i touched something in his brain. I'm meeting people from all walks of life at these things and its just amazing to get the chance to do it.
