I will no longer be accepting international orders. I will be taking down the international “buy it now” buttons soon. In the meantime, if you do not see this and order, I will just refund your money. I can’t deal with the headache of the postal service losing posters, and I definitely can’t afford it. Sorry, but that’s the way it has to be. Maybe in the future I will offer international shipping again.

PRESS RELEASE

I have had no time to continue the sketch of the day these past few weeks. When I have time, I will continue, but in the meantime here is the official press release for the upcoming TOYS exhibit that I will be participating in. Once my piece is finished, I will post pics and maybe pics of  the process I went through to build it.

November 4, 2009

INDIANAPOLIS—Primary Colours announces the seventh installment of its invitational holiday art exhibit, TOYS. This year’s art showcase will take place at ArtBox (in the Stutz II Building - 217 West 10th St. Suite 125, Indianapolis, IN 46202) on Friday, December 4, 2009 from 5 to 10 p.m. TOYS exhibits art fashioned around the theme of toys, and invited artists are free to interpret the theme however they see fit.

Exhibiting artists keep 100% of the proceeds they receive from the sale of their art.

There is no admission fee for this free event, which coincides with the IDADA (Indianapolis Downtown Artists and Dealers Association) First Friday Art Tour.

This year, Primary Colours is teaming up with Second Helpings and asks attendees to bring dry pasta that volunteers will collect at the door. “Second Helpings provides a valuable service to the community in its mission to eliminate hunger,” says Primary Colours executive director Hugh Vandivier. “They’ve told us that they consistently need more donations of dry pasta, so we’re asking our patrons to bring some along to the show.”

Primary Colours (www.primarycolours.org) is a nonprofit arts organization that facilitates interaction between visual artists and the community. Its purpose is to support a thriving environment for the visual arts through unique exhibitions, education, and special events, including Art vs. Art, Installation Nation, and the Professional Development Series for of free workshops for career artists.

Second Helpings, Inc. (www.secondhelpings.org) rescues prepared and perishable food, re-prepares it into nutritious meals, and distributes those meals to over 50 social services organizations that feed hungry people. Second Helpings also trains unemployed and underemployed adults for meaningful careers in the culinary industry.

SotD #4

I have had a very long, busy day and not much time to crank out a decent sketch. I am not very proud of this one, but I made the promise to myself to try to do a sketch a day, so here is a rather bland Getter Liger.

SotD #3

Cartoony pin-up. I am probably not doing myself any favors with potential employers. I will try to mix it up next time.
