Data Awards 15 minute 2d Artist of the year

It was quite the surprise on Thursday evening when they called my name to accept the 2010 artist of the year award.  There was a truck load of talent artists and designers there and It was great just to be invited, so winning was some serious icing!  The work will be up for a few months so be sure to stop in and check out a very interesting show.

Hollywood Night at the Harris Theatre

Tomorrow night I will have a few original paintings as well as some prints on display for an event sponsored by the Downtown Pittsburgh Partnership.  It's a screening of "Breakfast at Tiffany's" followed by drinks and goodies.
5:30-10pm

Also this week, I will have prints available as part of a group exhibit at Fast Forward Gallery on Saturday the 27th.  There are a bunch of great artists participating so be sure to take advantage of this one night event and grab some nice prints!

TINKA kicks things off for 2010

This is the first painting of 2010, a commissioned work that I finished up last week for a co-worker I met while working on Unstoppable.  There are some underlying themes of blue collar life, gypsy sex workers and alien abduction which are the nuts and bolts of a grander narrative.  I really want to take these housing settings and throw my characters in them to create entire worlds or at least towns.  I will be putting some paintings up for the "Hollywood Night at the Harris" which is an event sponsored by the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership on March 25th.  Hopefully I can debut at least one of these new works.  More on that event in the upcoming weeks.
