"Ode to Edo" sneak preview!

I can finally say I'm ALMOST finished... aside from a few finishing touches my submission to the "Ode to Edo" Samurai show is complete! When I was invited to take part is this gallery show I was deeply honoured and BEYOND intimidated. I decided I needed to pull out the big guns if I was going to live up to such a task. I can confidently say that I used just about every trick and technique at my disposal and really pushed the limits of my abilities.

Below is a horribly lit, grainy photo of the work I'm doing for the show. Along the floor are some of the drawings I did for the bargain wall; art jam-style drawings that will be for sale at a very low price (art can be affordable sometimes). =)


PS. It's wonderful that the glare in this photo fell right across the dragon's head.

ODE TO EDO!

Wow, this blog is in terrible need of an update.

So I'm in the most intense gallery show of my life featuring 19 other AMAZING artists. I just finished school and I'm displaying with several artists that are on my top ten list! Intensely inspiring, yet unbearably intimidating.

More info on the gallery show soon, but just know that it's all about the Samurai! There could be no better subject for my first major show.

Here is a sneak peek of a few of the pieces I'm working on. Pardon the quality of the photos as the lighting in my studio at night is quite sad. These are all just works in progress.


I'd like to point out that the dragon painting is 6 feet tall.
