Signs on the Road

Recently wrapped up this little series "Signs on the Road". After I drew that little hot dog stand with the devil in the background of the "One Last Dog for the Road" I got this idea to do this little road trip series focusing on some stuff that makes me feel like our ways are leading us down some weird highway to hell, but at least it's filled with modern convenience.

Hoping to be showing these, along with some other pieces, this fall. I've put off hanging this body of work for the last 17 months because I don't have any need for it to make money or anything, I'm just waiting to put it up when I feel good about having people congregate together in a closed space. Thought we were getting there a couple months ago but guess some people just like to help perpetuate this problem. This series is for them. 

 

Return to Touchstone Teen Week

Felt so good to return to Touchstone Center for Crafts and teach drawing/painting at this years Teen Week. I did this gig 2 years ago and I've been looking forward to getting back ever since. We had a smaller student body this year due to the covid concerns for everyone but it felt just as inspiring and full of energy as my previous time. We got some still-life and life drawing in, a collaborative project with the ceramics class and a couple illustration-based projects towards the end, which all the students did great on. I'm always a little sad when the week wraps because it seems to just blow by but everyone is pretty exhausted by the end and probably looking to their own bed and regular internet service again. Thanks again to everyone for the great time and hope to return again sooner next time.
