Draw, Garden, Repeat

Spring is here!? Question mark because it still feels like we might get an “unseasonable” freeze! Nonetheless, I am harvesting lettuce, planting a lot of fun “vintage” seeds, and drawing, drawing, drawing. I have a number of new pieces that I’m looking forward to showing first at the Oklahoma City Festival of the Arts. See my show schedule here.

I’ll be putting up some additional items in my online shop in the next few weeks. Given all the news lately, I’m reminding folks that there are a small number of cards relating to trumped up behavior in the shop (wink, wink).

If you are in the Edom, Texas area, be sure to stop by the Zeke & Marty Studio to check out Zeke’s amazing work and a few things of mine he has so generously allowed me to keep in the shop. I cannot adquately express how very much I appreciate the support and kindness of those who have supported my work over the past many years. It is humbling and and a source of deep gratitude.

If you are interested in being reminded about upcoming shows, please fill out the subscribe form below. I won’t spam you. I don’t post all that often so you won’t get tons of messages from me!

On that note, I’ve got a drawing calling out to me so closing here and hoping that your spring is one of peace and joy.

Spring 2023 Schedule Available

I’m excited to be in both the Oklahoma City Festival of the Arts and the Cottonwood Arts Festival in Spring 2023! Both shows are wonderful in so many ways. Both have a great venue, a positive vibe, great sales, fun entertainment, and amazing artists. I’ve been honored to be selected to show in both of these fine events for a number of years and very grateful to be back again in Spring 2023!

I hope you will check out the schedule on my Shows page and get the dates on your calendars! If you can share that information with your friends and family directly or through Social Media, that would be wonderful and greatly appreciated!

Shows Completed for Fall 2022

My show season is finished for Fall 2022. I had a terrific time at Cottonwood Arts Festival and the Edom Festival of the Arts. Beautiful weather, great responsive crowds, and well managed shows – an artist’s perfect trifecta!

While shows are over for the year – I am still “open for business” and offer a quick turnaround on orders. If there is something you saw at one of the shows but do not find on my website, just drop me a line here and describe it as best you can and I’ll get back to you quickly.

A few of the vintage tees are still available in my shop – great for Christmas!

Have a wonderful Fall and I look forward to seeing you in the Spring 2023 shows. That schedule is firming up and will be posted on the website and on my Facebook page once available.

God bless!

Fall Finally Arrives

Sitting in my home today with all the windows open. A welcome event in Texas. The 49th Annual Edom Arts Festival was last weekend and it was terrific. It was a little warm but no rain and a great crowd. A huge thank you to those who put on the show, all the volunteers who take care of the artists, and the town itself for its hospitality and devotion to this show.

My next show is not until 2022 (dates still firming up). For the next few months, my wife and I will be working on getting the website refreshed and we will offer some discounts so please check back often. I would really appreciate your signing up to receive notices from my website and hope you will do so. I won’t spam you (or at least my wife won’t – she handles most of the site updates). Use the Contact form below (and thanks in advance!).

Have a wonderful Fall. I hope that you will be able to celebrate Thanksgiving with friends and family. I hope that folks who are eligible will choose to get vaccinated and help protect themselves and those we love. It would be great if we could move into 2022 with this disease as a nuisance more than the devastation it has been for the past two years. There is a lot of work ahead to repair all the damage of the past few years – spiritual, physical, and economic. I hope we can all leave the pettiness and anger behind us and move forward to a better future. God bless.
