 Looks like I made page two of The Daily Times today. This pic was taken this past Saturday during the 1st Annual ART WAR - a competition during the Salisbury Festival within the brand new downtown Salisbury University gallery.
This is a work-in-progress shot of my painting of the Downtown Plaza, barely one block away from gallery space itself. I'll be doing a series of drawings of the plaza in conjunction with Main Roots Coffeehouse (which I'll keep you posted on), so I thought "why not do a painting as well?" Not only was ART WAR a blast - being immersed in a timed project with a room full of extremely talented artists - but it also kicked off the beginning of yet another meaningful step forward in the revitalization of historic downtown. Thanks to SU Art Gallery Director, Elizabeth Kauffman and Gallery Manager, Marisa Sage for having me be a part of this very cool event. And a big congrats to Cori Beardsley for taking home the Art War gold. Kudos to her and her massive 300 pound Joker-esque sculpture (if you have the chance to see it you will not regret it). Look forward to Art Warring next year! If you'd like to read the full article just click HERE, or you can read it online HERE. If you'd like to know more about the gallery visit www.salisbury.edu, or visit in-person at 118 North Division Street, Salisbury, MD 21804. Talk with you soon! - D

 Whatsup everybody!
Just wanted to let you all know I'll be strutting the isles at the 2013 MoCCA Fest in NY this weekend! The show is an annual comics & cartoon art festival put together by the good people of the Society of Illustrators and the Museum of Comic & Cartoon Art. Really looking forward to it! Here's some info from their website... The MoCCA Arts Festival brings together an extremely diverse group of creators, from individuals just beginning to show and sell their work, to living legends of the industry. You will find the breadth of comic and cartoon art expression, from off-the-wall humor to intensely personal works in all the medium's different forms, here at the festival. Some great folks to check out would the ever talented Greg Ruth at the ASFA table, the beautiful illustration of Mr. Mike Mano, and the good peoples of AdHouse books - amongst many, many others. For more info on exhibitors, special guests, Awards of Excellence and 1st Annual Juried Show just visit www.moccafest.org. See ya there! - Doug |
