Art Show at the Sun Cafe

For the month of July, I am having an art show at the Sun Cafe, in the sleepy neighborhood of Ballard, located in Seattle,WA. To compliment the art show, I drew their chalkboard menu! It's a great cozy cafe with great coffee by Stumptown Roasters.

Gallery (206)

Next week in Seattle! Gallery (206) Premieres May 31st from 7- 10 pm Occidental Park Seattle, WA

How many artist can you fit into a phone booth? Apparently 206 artists (and a few more). What a coincidence! 206 is also the Seattle area code.

This piece will be in the phone book.

Spirit Bottles

Digital painting for an upcoming art show this month! More details to follow.

Painting Study

Part of a study for a new painting:

Cereal Comics

Cereal ads in old comics are quite fun to read, as they reflect their TV counterparts on Saturday mornings (do they still have Saturday morning cartoons anymore?). I found these three in an old The Flinstones with Pebbles Gold Key comic (#22, 1964). My favorite is the Lucky Charms ad, but look how boring the box is! (Speaking of cereal boxes, check out these Jay Ward inspired designs.) I don't know who drew these comics, but I'm researching who the cartoonists are. Man, I would so love to have that job drawing cereal ads.

That one kid in the Lucky Charms ad looks suspiciously like a chipmunk.
