Artsy

Beachy and I are just about to put up our cat store on Etsy.  If I remember correctly, it will be called Uncle Cat's Emporium.  Here's a little sample of one of my dittys.

Also, cute drawing for a work poster...washed out againnnn...

Secrets

I like to keep things under wraps, but whatever.  Here's a bit of the cat fiasco that's happening in St. Paul.

Now that I can use my nice scanner at work, expect more updates...maybe. This little number was from my Italy days.  The colors didn't turn out quite like the real thing, but it never really does.

airport life

it's 2 am in thessaloniki.  we just bought coffee.

in the meantime...

since i cannot upload any pictures that i have made, i shall post some art from a fellow artist of whom i met in sofia, bulgaria.  first with a little backstory...

there has been yet another dumb and stupid change to faccebook...  a coverphoto.  since i was in bulgaria when this change happened i decided to represent and search for a bulgarian artist for such a pride position.  while searching, i came across a painting of an old blues singer by the artist named darry.  cool.  bulgarian art about the american music i enjoy.

so another day came and i went walking after dark around the streets of sofia only to walk directly smack into darry's own personal studio.  he was not there, of course, so the next day i returned and lo-behold there he was!  glasses n all!

i went into his studio, introduced myself and told him of my tale of discovering his work.  he was flattered and invited me and lee up to his private home where we spent the next hour or so playing his guitars, drooling at his paintings, and sweating at the sight of his provocative leather sculptures.

we left with him asking us to come back the next day so that he could gift us with something before our departure. 

i apologize for the poor quality of this story.  just look at  his website

travels abroad

for now this layout will do, but i solemnly promise to take better care of said blog, and by golly, do i also promise to dedicate this blog to all of my large and small art-doings.  for starters, i have done a tiny series of typical italian art scene postcards.  they were to be sold at a flower festival, but alas i have given too many away and made too few.
