“The Voice & The Messenger” Will Be In A Gallery!

the voice and the messenger painting

Awww yeah. This lovely painting I made got accepted into the show “Visions & Shadows” at the Stifel Fine Art Center in Wheeling, WV. The show’s opening reception is August 25th (the day after my birthday!) and it will run until November 4th.

If you can make it to the show, please do! I would love to see you there. You may need to dress nicely, though, since it’s an art gallery show. No 3-piece suit, but like something you would wear at a day job.

Want to see how I made this painting? Here’s a step-by-step post on how I did it.

Thank you so much for reading and for all of your support!

You. Are. Awesome.

I’m Hosting Another Mini-Comic Workshop

Yeppers – I’m running the How to Make Your Own Mini-Comic workshop again, this time at Cat’s Paw Art Studios in downtown Centre Market of Wheeling, WV!

This workshop will have a $5 cover charge, but in exchange you get snack and drinks while you draw (supplies will be included in the workshop, so the only thing you have to bring is your ideas).

Cat’s Paw Art Studios is also the home of new and gently used art supplies as well as my comics and mini-comics. So if you’re in the downtown Wheeling area, stop by and check it out – it’s one of the coolest shops EVER.

Mystically Apocalyptic: A Trip into Wheeling, WV

Please excuse my absence on the blog. I’ve been working extra hard on KickStarter rewards and comic strips.

However, I wanted to share a little story with you.

You see, Christian (my collaborator on Validation) stopped by Wheeling on her way across the country. We got lunch at Later Alligator, a little local crepe restaurant in downtown, and if you haven’t been there, you REALLY need to go. Their crepes are delicious and have punny little names (like the Crepes of Wrath, Pesto Change-o, or the Crepe Escape. I had the Alligator Rock, and it’s delectable). They also have dessert crepes, like the S’mores Crepe. It’s as awesome as it sounds.

Anyway, after lunch, Christian and I saw some more sites, including a little bridge that will make an appearance in Charlie & Clow: The Case of the Wendigo.
