Me + PBR

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

I’m very fortunate to be doing some freelance work for one of my favorite Beers, Pabst Blue Ribbon! In addition to some design/illustration work (I created the PBR Art Show Denver print promo collateral, and flyer for PBR Boston’s “Reset” event), I also had the opportunity to participate in the Denver PBR Art Show, that was held at Illiterate and Indyink a few weeks ago. I did a 30 x 22″ Oil on Canvas painting titled “Dissection” which was essentially a car-part-esque/technical diagram of the iconic PBR can.

The PBR art show was amazing, for a recap of the show check out the blog I wrote for 303 Magazine.

New home away from home

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

I have been slacking on my blog as of late, but I do have a good excuse. I started my first artist-residency at Illiterate Gallery at the beginning of this year. I finally have my own studio space, I’m pretty excited! I’m have been up at the wee hours of the night the past few days in the studio finishing up my painting for the PBR Art Show on Saturday, which is turning out pretty cool! I will be doing a little gallery/studio tour with photos for the blog in the next day or so, be sure to check it out!

Illiterate Magazine’s “Where the Wild Things Art”

Saturday, November 14th, 2009

Illiterate's new space on 82 South Broadway.

I am so grateful that I was able to be apart of Illiterate Magazine’s debut art show at their brand new space on South Broadway in Denver last week, it was such a great experience to show along-side some of the best artists in Denver. The collection of work was absolutely stunning, I was in awe of the talent the graces our fair city. The work from John Fellows and Scot LaFavor stood out the most for me.

The show will be up until December, so there is plenty of time to see it in person, but if you missed the opening you can check out the evening’s recap here. Also, I did a mini-interview for Illiterate to help promote the show, you can read it here.
