Huntington Beach Art Center
I went to HBAC opening last night, there was some nice things on display and people there were well behaved. Links to some artist sites: www.phillipgraffham.com, gradportraits.com,http://silverblueglass.blogspot.com/

Painting Completed
I finished this painting about two weeks ago; I just need to finish the title and take some better pictures of it and i will post it up in the Painting section.

Painting in Progress
This oil painting has been in the works for about two months, here are some pics that show its progression...

Rough sketches for screen prints...

So yesterday I went to Courbet Art Circle in Santa Ana; it was fun drawing from a live mode for a couple hours. Nice folks over there. Here are my sketches:

I also went to the Alex Chiu Opening at Rothick Art Haus in Anaheim.  Some of Alex's work is really nice and some it felt rushed.  There was a band who didn't grab my attention, but luckily down the street form that was a Dr. Sketchy's art show in a tiny gallery that had an oddly slanted ceiling. On the walls was a variety of beautiful sketch's done by a variety of talented people. Also some one was carrying a tiny handicapped looking cat with them. It had a tiny pink sweater on...

So I submitted some screen prints to the HBAC yesterday, that show will open on Friday January 21, 2011. Should be a fun show...

Here is some silkscreen prints I made as a birthday gift for a friend.  I finally got a chance to use my Perma Print ink retarder, it works awsome! It really slowed down the drying time which is what i needed. the Top image is a mix of graphite dust and Perma Print Extender. 

Happy New Year! New blog, New year. I have many plans this year that I will accomplish...
