Todd “The Incredible Bulk” Marrone, Competitive Eater

I recently competed in my second wing-eating contest. Similar to last year, I attempted to make up for what I lack in belly-size and gullet-circumference with an intimidating, costumed persona. Similar to last year, it did not work.

The fact that the event raised thousands of greenbacks for the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s Oncology Unit made the loss easier to swallow.

I recently stumbled across this quartet of 3-year-old photos featuring my artistic contribution to the Patrick Kerr skateboard scholarship. During the “Skate to School” event, dozens of decks were adorned, appreciated and auctioned in the name of the fallen boarder.

Guess which one I painted.

Acrylic on Canvas & Board • Main Line Art Center

Thanks to all who populated Main Line Art Center’s recent One Night Stand. In the true spirit of one-night-stand-cheapness, I resurrected last year’s descending price structure.

Every year, the Lower Merion School District hosts a wing-eating competition to benefit the Children’s Hospital of Pennsylvania. This is great news for sick kids but terrible news for chickens.

Last year, I placed in the top five. This year, I’m hoping that my tee design will help to sway the judges.

Longtime pal and collaborator, Bevan McShea, and I recently teamed up for another installment of Jazz Tactics. This time around, Bevan mixed, mashed and scratched audio from the 2001: A Space Odyssey Soundtrack while I spit out dozens of intergalactic, impromptu paintings.

Later that evening, Bevan “Starhaven” Mcshea unveiled his newest album, Iron Light.

Tastes Great… in Either Direction

A penny for your thoughts.

Lance Barton’s America

It’s always great to catch up with old work. Here’s a much appreciated snapshot of Lance Barton contemplating his investment in my 2000 painting, America.
