Ready for island life

Busy. Busy Busy

So many shows. So much work. So little time.

I been a busy bee the past few weeks getting all my plushies done in time for upcoming shows, and helping my girlfriend finish her dissertation. I have 3 upcoming shows that are so close to each other I have to do all the pieces at the same time. The shows are Art You Can Hung, this is a full soft, plush show. My first 100%plush show participation. Days after that show the brand new Island Life is happening up in Cocoa Beach. A friend of my friend is putting that one together. The a few weeks after those two is Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Gallery. The good thing about the later one is that since its a live art show I can actually finish my piece at the event. I will definitely us that to my advantage.

Besides the guys in the pictures I'm also working on a "tiki god" (for "Island Life"), another "Skull Octokitty"(for Willy's Gallery) and a glittery "blue owl" (for "Art You Can Hug"). After those 3 are done I still have to work on an Umpa Lumpa and think of some revenge. yeah.... Busy, busy, busy.


One of the 2 will be at "art you can hug"




For "art you can hug"


For "willy wonka and the chocolate gallery"


Organized mess... kind of...

Ortika Streetart Lovers : Rome, Italy Art Show

This is one of the few international shows I get to do this year. If you can read Italian this is a good link to find more info on the show. If like me you can not read Italian then go to this link to see some of the art work. There is a little bit of everything, something for everyone. I wish I had spent more time doing mine. There are some, really, really good ones.
