1NightStand
Acrylic on Chalkboard • Main Line Art Center

Main Line Art Center recently hosted an event titled, “One Night Stand”. Young artists (defined as 21-35 years old) were invited to contribute up to three original works priced under $500 each.

I decided to price my contributions using a declining silent auction. Each piece began the evening with boundary pushing $500 price tags. Every half hour, the prices were slashed in half. The early evening cherry-picking turned into an art-buying melee as the prices dipped below triple digits.

If music had calories, I’d be morbidly obese. Every once in a blue while I even get the urge to play “music critic” and share my opinion of a particular album. Since art is my mother tongue, it’s only logical that I deliver such reactions in pictorial form. To concoct a Sketchy Review, I listen to an entire album with a host of drawing materials within arm’s reach. I doodle what comes to mind, allowing the music to dictate subject, media, aesthetic and composition. Enjoy the ride.

Card
Computer Embellished Painting

The front side of my newly designed business card. I decided to go with the rounded corners so that youngsters don’t poke their eyes out. I’m always thinking about the kids.
