50% off Day at Goodwill

admin — Sat, 18 Sep 2010 22:53:38 +0000

Today was 50% off day at Goodwill on South Broadway. I love 50% off day. I found myself several unique treasures — all for grand total of $14.77 — and couldn’t be any happier. Among my finds were a vintage Panasonic alarm clock radio that works perfectly (which pretty much sold itself when it was playing “Sympathy For The Devil” by the Rolling Stones when I walked by) for a mere $2.80! I also stumbled across a 35mm Yashica MG-1 camera (complete with flash) and two Boy Scout books dated from 1949. Some of my other finds included a hand-embroidered American bald eagle in a vintage wood frame (circa 1998) and a awesome book published in 1969 titled, Altered States of Consciousness by Charles T. Tart. After flipping through the pages and randomly reading a line about 1940’s Hollywood movie star Carey Grant and his experiences with LSD, I knew I had to have it. I also snagged a beautifully designed planner from 1980, which is going to be great for some art projects. Must say that I had a pretty darn good day of thrifting!

Me + PBR

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

admin — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 18:23:36 +0000

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!
