The Levelheads and I figuratively set the stage ablaze during our first appearance at Philadelphia’s North Star Bar! The set marked our participation in the second round of a city-wide band competition, Emergenza. We were awarded top honors of the evening and secured a spot in the finals.
Another painting whipped up live on stage with my pals, the Levelheads. This fertile female was composed entirely during a single song.
Philadelphia super group, The Level Heads, invited me to fling some paint during a gig in the Spring of 2004. The show was so well received, the fellas and I had to run down the street and hide in a telephone booth to avoid being mobbed by fans and groupies.
In the Summer of 2003, I appeared live on a local news program called “FOX Good Day Philadelphia.” At the start of the show I rolled out over 150 feet of blank paper in front of the studio building. Throughout the two and a half hour broadcast, I painted a sprawling composition that included likenesses of the newscasters, Philadelphia icons and viewer requests.
In 2003, a handful of faculty members and I decided to perform in the annual talent show. The band ripped through a bang-up version of James Brown’s “Papa’s Got a Brand New Bag,” while I flung paint onto two 4′x8′ pieces of plywood via my trusty 1″ foam brush.
In the Fall of 2002, I was invited to perform at a Philadelphia nightclub called Shampoo. The club holds semiannual “mega events” in which they fill an outdoor tent full of DJs, booze, costumed dancers and assorted entertainment. I fell into the assorted entertainment category. |
