OUR ART SITE DOT COM Interview

crickskipper — Wed, 11 Jul 2007 04:04:32 +0000

Zach, over at Our Art Site Dot Com, interviewed me recently and asked me some questions about my process. If you’re interested in what Journey song* I have on repeat, or which dance moves I ritualistically perform after I lay on the final brush stroke, you won’t find them here. We cover lots of other good stuff, though. Thanks Zach!

Art Dorks Opening Photos

crickskipper — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 06:15:42 +0000

I’ve been so hectic lately with painting, work, and being a dad that I haven’t had a chance to post photos from the Art Dorks Collective opening at Thinkspace this last June 8th. It was so great to finally meet many of the Dorks in person, not to mention the legendary Andrew, Shawn and L.C. of Thinkspace Gallery. What an amazing group of people. Here are a few photos of the event.

Clockwise from backpack guy – Dave Chung, Joseph Daniel Fiedler, Kim Scott, Kristian Olson, Aaron Nather, John Casey, Michael Slack, Jeremy Pruitt, Robert Hardgrave, and Justin DeGarmo. Photo by Andrew Hosner, using Kim Scott’s camera and posted to Flickr by Robert Hardgrave. Whew.
