Festival of the Arts – OKC

I have my booth assignment. Same as last year – 24-B. Here is a link to the show information: Festival of the Arts – Arts Council Oklahoma City (artscouncilokc.com)

I’ve got several new works that I think people are going to find interesting. I certainly enjoyed creating them! This is a long show and I am hoping for light spring breezes and no rain. Be sure to put the dates on your calendar!

I still have some of my vintage tees available – perfect for wearing out to the festival! Check them out in the Shop!

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 Shows Begin

Finally 2022 is well underway, COVID cases are low (albeit rising – stay alert, my friends!), and spring shows are blooming! I’m getting ready for my first 2022 show – the Oklahoma City Festival of the Arts.

I’ve participated in this show pretty much each year for over 45 years. It is always a delight and a wonderful show – both from the standpoint of the artists and the visitors! I was fortunate to be able to show last June when they had to delay the spring show due to a COVID uptick. April is SO much better – nicer weather and hopefully fewer people will be out of town on vacation!

I am in booth 24-B. Drop by, say hi, and buy some art! 🙂

God bless!

Spring 2019 Lineup of Shows – UPDATED 3/18/2019

I am really excited about my upcoming shows. I have a lot of new originals and am working on a series of small originals that are “inter-related”. Four brand new prints that I’m really looking forward to showing for the first time! I think they will make people smile. I’m certainly enjoying drawing them.

I’ve added some updates to the Spring 2019 listing of shows (available here). It is going to be a crazy spring!

I feel so blessed to be able to continue doing my art after all these years. It gives me great pleasure and I really enjoy getting to meet with friends and customers at the shows. My wife recently retired and I’m looking forward to her being able to travel along with me more often.

See you on the road!

Show Season In Full Swing

I am incredibly grateful to be back in the swing of the Spring Shows! Completed two in the Houston area these past two months (Houston Bayou and The Woodlands). I’m preparing now for the Oklahoma City Arts Festival. I’ve been fortunate to be a participant in this show for most of my career as an artist. It is a marathon to get through physically, but always such a delight in terms of customer interaction, seeing artist friends, and the terrific music and art at the show.

If you are in the Oklahoma City area starting Tuesday the 24th of April and going through that next Sunday, please swing by and say hello. I have a number of new originals that I’m excited to display.

I’ll be sharing the rest of my schedule in a future post. But for now, back to the drawing table – literally!
