Summer 2011 so far

Quite a few things have happened since I've posted on here last. Some of the more notable events include:

-Graduating from the College for Creative Studies in Detroit
-Working on three sets for the Motion Picture "The Citizen" (Including the mural of the Manhattan & Brooklyn Bridges below)
-& Art Directing the music festival "The Blastoff" (the two other shots are from the fest)

Starting tomorrow I will be leaving to art direct the Forest Stage and surrounding area of the Sherwood Forest at the Electric Forest Music Festival.

Once I return from Rothbury I will be busy preparing for my solo gallery exhibition at the Start Gallery in the heart of Detroit.

Life is good.

Dunegrass

I haven't posted anything new on here for quite some time, and since I had to have this one mastered for tomorrow, i might as well post it for your viewing pleasure. This will be in a run of 20 numbered prints, available sunday at dunegrass. this was the painting that i created their new logo from, and i figured I would release a couple prints from the original painting. This piece was live painted at ashley's in ann arbor, originally 2x4' on panel.
