Last nights Sketch tuesday and Cafe Royale flier for may 6th

Here is the flier for my art show at Cafe Royale May 6th. The pressure is on, I had only about 1 mo. to finish all new paintings. For those of you saying they have seen this painting, yes, this was finished in Oct 2009, but everything else is BRAND NEW!! I am nervous tho, I am confident in my paintings, but getting them finished in time in a way that satisfies me is what worries me, but It'll be workin away everyday till I hang them on the 2nd.
On to fun last night at 111Minna sketch Tuesdays! I met Jenny Bird, (http://www.jennybirdart.com/) an amazing female artist who was recently published in High Fructose periodical art book. She is super nice, and very talented. I also met many other great people, sold a piece or two, but Dan Stromberg (chilibeanpastebucket.blogspot.com) did even better! He sold everything he made, except he gave one to Last Gasp Creator and art critic Ron Turner. www.lastgasp.com. Here are some photos.

111 minna sketch tuesdays

111 Minna makes "Sketch Tuesdays" happen,..last night was the 38th event of its kind. Curated by my very good buddy BKA ie: Brad K. Alder, bradkalder.com,..Sketch Tuesdays was inspired by the " Monster Drawing Rally " from Southern Exposure. The former curator of sketch tues. was Sascha Eckes, who made very funny hip drawings, and an all around cool chic, but Sascha moved away to I forget where, like Brazil or something I think, any way, she passed the tourch on to 111Minna slave, Brad K. Alder, and for the past, I'd say 2 years or so, Brad's been pulling in big names such as Henry Gundersen and Jeremy Fish, just to name a few. Along side such " emerging" artists, (if you can even call me that) as my self. I have been to many sketch Tuesdays and always have a blast, sometimes I am at the table with the big hitters, sometimes I just bring my sketch book, sometimes I take a night off and just look, buy cheap art and drink. GOOD TIMES!!!
Last night I was at the big table, I made 3 drawings and sold 2 outta 3, not bad! The art critic Ron Turner bought my first one, he usually does, nice guy, usually gets me a beer too, love that! {Ron Turner www.lastgasp.com}. A regular lady and her husband bought the other one, it had an owl in it, people love owls these days, If I made 10 owl drawings I bet they'd all sell...Owls are "in" right now..haha. But anyway here is a list of a few other peeps that were featured in sketch tuesdays...Just incase it inspires you to be around some of your favorite artists, check out this Fecal Face link too, they are usually there taking pics, I am in a bunch in this one, FUN!! http://www.fecalface.com/SF/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1531&Itemid=90 check fecal face in the future for more sketch tuesdays, usually the last tuesday of the month I believe..

On a personal note, Myself and my friend Helen Bayly were accepted by San Francisco Arts Commission "art in store fronts" and we will be making art or doing a mural on Market between 6th and 9th. It has to be done by oct 1st, so we will be very very busy this month!
So, I may not post as much this month except for pics on progress about the mural/ store front. Please feel free to give feed back or give a donation of brushes or paint! I have also had a serious personal set back today but forward is the only direction I can go from here, So onward!
Also, there is an art show at 111 minna tomorrow, thursday sept. 3rd, My friend and comrade is in it, Helen Bayly and Akira Beard, also there will be well known artists such as Sam Flores and all those types. Come on out for fun and drinks, support these artists.
