I Have Returned !

So the Meet Me in the Middle project/trip has ended. It was a great time had by all even with the ever encroaching raccoons (they seem to like non-dairy creamer), 4 am wind storms, the one all day thunder storm, flies(tons of flies), one broken fishing pole, small crappie and ugly drum. Ten awesome drawing/paintings were made, lots of photos, a video that's getting edited, and a tinker toy Gatling style gun. I will post some pic's soon. I feel like I just created my very own residency with a friend that was just for us it was a lot of fun and I just might have to do it again in the future. Camping and making art just seem to go hand in hand, and there was still plenty of time to relax, hang out, play catch (teach someone how to throw a knuckle ball) ha ha, shoot the shit, nap, laugh at bad jokes and just sit around the good old camp fire. I would like to thank the people who helped make this happen, first my partner in crime on the trip Nick Nihira for agreeing to do this craziness, second my wife Michelle Dreher for letting me do this no matter the cost, third Nick's wife Amanda for letting him go, and fourth Scott Boyd for letting us use his boat because no fish would have be caught with out it. I will also be posting where all of this took place all the way down to the camp site #.

Mini-Curves !!!!

ok so this 1st image is of one of the new mini-curves that I am making at the stage of waiting to be sanded and prepped for paint

Here is another in the stage of ready for paint and its on the wall
Since I am trying something new I used 2 types of plywood to see how each would hold the curve

So these bad little boys or girls are going to hang on the wall this setup is pretty standard but later this summer some should start to rotate and hang at different angles against the wall

Cool view from the top right, Can't wait to see some paint on these its gonna be fun

Quater pipe?

So here is the first on many June posts I hope. This is the begining of my Quater pipe painting idea, the stucture is almost finished then some skin and off to the painting horses we go.
