Art Al Fresco

This is the sketch I used for my proposal.

This is the sketch I used for my proposal.

On September 10th, I installed some work in a vacant lot on High St. in the Short North Arts District. The work was created for Art Al Fresco, an event created by the Short North Business Association to celebrate public art in the neighborhood. I was lucky enough to have access to the roof of my friends Brady Konya and Kyle Boettcher to install the hanging ninjas. Thanks to them!

No thanks to the person who ended up taking off with one of the guys on the ground. I have a feeling there will be more work created about him going missing.

To see photos of most of the work created the other day, visit the SNBA photo gallery on Facebook.

QR Code Art Show

If you haven’t been living under a rock, you’ve probably noticed QR codes sprinkled about your everyday life – on billboards, in magazines, even on business cards. During Art Al Fresco, the September Gallery Hop, and Independents’ Day, I took part in and helped organize a QR Code Art Show put on by Wonderland Columbus.

Ride To Ruin in the Studio.

From behind the drums during the recording sessoin.

For the first time in 10 years, I spent time in a recording studio with a band. The main difference… this time I was playing drums and singing. Luckily, my band mates Ryan Moya and Hunter Kelly are two killer dudes who write kick ass riffs and Andrew Dodson was a pretty relaxed recording engineer. Its been a fun time playing with these guys.

Let us know if you want to get a copy of our recording or if you want to pick up an awesome t-shirt!

Urban Scrawl 5

This year, Urban Scrawl took place in Franklinton at 400 W. Rich St. The event was well produced by the Franklinton Arts District and I was more than happy to be involved. Dozens of great artists and performers were there and hundreds of attendees. I’m really excited about what has been growing in Franklinton and I hope that it continues that way. Here is the piece I made for the show. The day of the show was the same day as hurricane Irene.

My Artwork is in Franklinton

Next time you venture into Franklinton, you’ll see my artwork hanging on the side of a building near Tommy’s Diner.  The painting is one that I did for the second year of Urban Scrawl, which also takes place in Franklinton.  In terms of placement, it couldn’t be in a better spot than directly above my good friend and former roommate Adam Crum’s artwork.  Both pieces with be hanging for an undisclosed amount of time, something I find very exciting.
