Earlier this week, Welsh Valley Middle School 7th grade Challenge students explored South Street to enjoy and photograph the work of Philadelphia mosaic artist, Isaiah Zagar. While spelunking, students captured the following cityscapes, depicting the terms revolution, repetition, reflection, reading and recycling.

Ink on Paper • Pterodactyl Gallery

This evening, I plastered the very awesome Pterodactyl Gallery with semi-awesome prints for their semi-big Big Art Show.

Not only will I be telling a story at First Person Arts’ upcoming “Obsessed” StorySlam, I’m also hosting. This is a unique opportunity to be doubly disappointed in me.

Acrylic on Plywood • 48″x48″ • Main Line, Philadelphia

I painted this piece of scrap plywood so somebody would haul it off of my property. One man’s trash is another man’s eventual trash.

Ink on Plywood • Ambler Skate Shop

As the official artbassador of Formation Skateboards, I officially made and left artwork in, and around, Ambler Skate Shop, during the official Ambler Art Festival.

You can’t spell yammer without “me.”

Tell Me a Story at Shot Tower Coffee

If I had a nickel for every time I told this heart-warming, stomach-turning story in public, I’d have ten cents.

Here’s a collection of PowerPoint images that I created to correspond with a recent TED talk. I did more talking than TEDing.

Mosaic Mural • 10′x22′ • Welsh Valley Middle School

The Welsh Valley Middle School community recently teamed with one of Philadelphia’s most prolific and preeminent artistic visionaries, Isaiah Zagar, to create a monumental work of art. The project was spurred by a generous grant from the Lower Merion Education Foundation and further supported by LMSD administration, Welsh Valley Student Government and the Home & School Association.

Most every student worked to embellish Zagar’s original composition by creating, placing and polishing each individual tile. In addition to embodying communal harmony and the collaborative process, the work serves as a celebration of the life of a fallen student and friend, Sean King. Just like the installation dedicated in his name, Sean’s impact will continue to beautify and inspire for many years to come.
