Ink on Kiddie Menu • Slickity Jim’s Chat ‘N Chew

On a recent trip to Vancouver, the Mrs. & I stumbled into a hip little eatery called Slickity Jim’s Chat ‘N Chew. The food was tasty and the deco was uniquely eclectic but the children’s menu was lame. I embellished the collection of hastily drawn entrées and handed it over for future duplication and distribution. Now young Chat ‘N Chew patrons have something substantial to color while waiting for their grilled cheese.

Whipping up some custom work for some customers during a reception at Philadelphia’s Rarebreed Gallery.

Acrylic on Paper • PodCamp Philly

Fellow UsedWigs Radio personality, Russ Starke, and I recently attended a local Podcasting expo called PodCamp Philly. In an effort to drum up some hoopla and hubbub, I decided to whip up a custom painting for anyone willing to brave the paint fumes. The unforeseen byproduct of performing in front of a gaggle of bloggers was the healthy crop of videos that popped up soon after:

Acrylic on Canvas • Backyard BBQ & Tritone Bar

On Saturday, September 8th, The Hulihees and I strutted our stuff at two different venues. First, we rocked the pants and diapers off of dozens of families at a pal’s backyard BBQ. Later that night, we took the stage at Philadelphia’s favorite hip dive, Tritone. During both performances, I invited audience volunteers to paint a couple of lines or shapes on the canvases before I took over.

During a recent flight from Detriot, I took the liberty paper of adorning a vomit depository.

Ink on Business Cards • Vancouver Eateries

This Summer, the Mrs. and I took a trip across the Pacific Northwest. Along the way, I erected a number of miniature galleries on restaurant tabletops.

Acrylic and Ink on Paper • Tiny Hineys Clothing Boutique

Once upon a time there was an artist who perched himself in front of a children’s clothing store. The artist painted a series of fun-loving tykes on a big roll of canvas. All of the children in town were invited to help the artist color in the images. The artist and the children lived happily ever after.

Acrylic on Paper • Northern Liberties, Philadelphia

Interior decorating is easy, try sprucing up the facade of an abandoned building.

Acrylic • Duckery Elementary School

If God didn’t want walls to be adorned with murals, he wouldn’t have created scaffolding.

Acrylic on Canvas • Burlap & Bean Coffee Shop

My 89-year-old grandmother was in attendance during this performance with The Hulihees. As a tribute, I painted her portrait using BOTH hands simultaneously. I suspect that my feet are starting to get jealous.
