 Before you go getting all jealous, just know that this was my view of the stage for the evening (I wish I was kidding): But I also had this: And this: And this: Heinz Hall in Pittsburgh. The music was spectacular. The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra played medleys from all 15 films that Danny Elfman scored for Tim Burton movies. (Two …

I was selected to paint (decorate? enhance? art?) one of ten Pittsburgh City Paper street boxes. This is Part 6 of my progress reports. The box is finished and delivered!

I was selected to paint (decorate? enhance? art?) one of ten Pittsburgh City Paper street boxes. This is Part 5 of my progress reports. This is the back of the box where Andy will be, but just the background is complete. The next thing I did was the flesh tones. Those were the scariest part of the box for me …

A friend (I suppose I can still call her that) from work told me that the Pittsburgh City Paper ArtBox Project just “screamed” for me to paint some Rots. So I sketched, and I entered. And then they went and picked me to paint one of their boxes. I guess now I have to paint it. Here’s the sketch I …

Working on an image for Valentine’s Day. Here’s the sketch I came up with.

Here’s the final version of the Christmas card we sent out this year. You can see the original sketch for it here. I ended up making a few changes, but not too many. Click on the image to see it biggie-sized.

In these last couple of weeks since my surgery, I’ve had some time to think of some new ideas, but those new ideas seem to have a lot to do with my surgery. So I went with it. Here’s the Rot I drew for my doctor: I think I’ll call it “Uterless.” (The other option was “You Probably Thought That …

Here’s my sketch for Christmas this year. Nothing fancy. Just Kris and the little ones taking a well-deserved day off. With Coronas.
