Opposites

Ever wonder what lies beyond the borders of the picture? Then go to WonderlandSF, where artists continue their world past the edges of their paintings. It is going to be a great show! The opening reception is Wednesday, July 20, from 6 to 10 pm.

The theme for the show is "opposites." I will be showing next to many amazing artists.

Here is the wall space provided for me to paint on:


I got some painting done today, and will return Monday to finish. The work will be up from then on, but come for the reception for the party and to see what all the artists have done!

Mischief

Come out this Sunday! Studio Gallery is holding the opening reception for the Mischief show and there is a lot of great art to look at. I will be showing a few drawings alongside many talented artists.


If you love characters, critters and cartoons, you should definitely come check it out! More information here.

See you there!

Paint Applications

So, if you follow my facebook page, you may have guessed that I have been working on a diptych. I am nearing completion, and so here is a small sneak-preview section of it:



Meanwhile, let's talk more about paint. Acrylic paint.

I have two palette boxes as my main holder for paints (one for oil and one for acrylic), but sometimes I grab whatever is in reach. When using a plastic lid for a palette, I found out something amusing...


This works for acrylic paints. It is especially cool when clear acrylic medium is used. After the paint completely dries, I can peel it off and stick it to walls, windows, and various surfaces.


Oh no! Green goop on my laptop!!!


Ha ha! Alright, information about shows on the way, and I hope everyone has a great fourth of July weekend!

Drafting My Next Soldier

I am always working on expanding my army. Check out how I go about that in the Form a Fighter page, or just click the tab above.


The process involves Snoof! Credit for naming this drawing goes to artist Paul Konzen. Upon finishing the drawing and to my dismay, anteaters are silent animals. Complaining to my friend that anteaters do not make noise, Paul responded with "Yes they do...They go sneepapasneep snoof!"

Thanks Paul! For more of Paul's creativity, click here.

Changes

The various pages I have on this blog being on the right side of the screen really bothered me. I needed to select a new template so that they would show up better as tabs on the upper section of the page.

I am making a new page, soon to come! Form a Fighter will be under construction for a little bit.

I may design a header sooner or later so that the title for my blog is not so borrrriiinng.

Please bear with me.

Kazu Sano

I have been feeling sad lately, during this unfortunate time. Kazu, you were not only a great artist and teacher, but you were also a kind, knowledgeable, and respectable person.

You have impacted my life so much. I wish I could have spent more time with you.

I send my love and support to friends and family of Kazu.

I really miss you. I will always remember you...
