Evening Affaire

Just wrapped up the 14th Annual Evening Affaire last night at the mall of Victor Valley. I met lots of great folks, had some great interesting conversations, but most of all was very happy to share my work. I met an artist last night that really just made my night. He loved my work and I noticed he had some military art. Turns out he served our country proudly in Vietnam, AND did two tours! I think shaking his hand last night and thanking him was probably one of the highlights of my evening. My heart really goes out to our men and women who serve, but mostly to our men who came back from Vietnam to a not so appreciative America. A different time.

Angry Birds debuted last night and looked super cool and of course, funny! I love that piece, and of course, I really could not have set up everything had it not been for my good friends who framed all of my work so awesome, Kellie Brayfield, Chase, and Robert Hampton over at All Star Custom Framing. They are my biggest fans! The real hero of this all of course is my amazing wife Amy who puts up with my brush throwing and tantrums in my studio. She is the biggest support I have! What can I say, I am blessed to have such amazing people in my life. NOW, onto the childrens book...to be continued

14th Annual Evening Affaire

I have been invited to display my work at the 14^th annual Evening Affaire held at the Mall of Victor Valley this Sunday March 4^th from 7-9:30pm. I will be right in front of Tillys and Hot Topic. This year they will be honoring local firefighters, law enforcement, paramedics and other first responders. I will be announcing a date here shortly for a show that I will be doing either in the late spring or early summer.

Cedar Middle School

This has been an action packed week for me. I paid a visit to my wife Mrs. H’s classroom to talk to the kids about the renaissance. It was great to hear all the interesting questions and how little minds work. I painted for them and at the end of the day we raffled off the piece. Lots of fun, very inspiring to see these kids dig my work and jokes. The best part about it was sharing to them how important it was for them to follow their goals and dreams and pursue an education. I could get used to this!
