It’s not too late to sign up for my Introduction to Acrylics classes Tomorrow night (February 6) through March 19th 6:15-9:15 pm at the Carrboro Arts Center.

We’ll be working on basics, but it’s for all skill levels.

This portrait of Charlotte Hawkins Brown is painted with acrylics and I’ll be taking photos of other examples soon.

The Charlotte Hawkins Brown Museum accepted donation of my portrait of the museum’s namesake. The portrait will be presented at the museum’s Annual Christmas Open House this Sunday from 1 to 5 pm.

The portrait was painted in 2005 for The Charlotte Observer and the donation is courtesy of The Charlotte Observer. Thanks to The Observer’s Dee-Dee Strickland and June Lancaster and the Museum’s Marian Inabinett.

 

 

Get Horizontal

Posted in Art, Book, Comics, Illustration on August 22nd, 2011 by Jason – 2 Comments

Eric Knisley surprised me with this exhibit at the Carrboro Arts Center opening September 9. Eric’s a great collaborator whose work can be found here. The horizontal works are done exquisite-corpse style over a few months … or years. I’m excited to be included in an exhibit with Eric, Bill Fick, Ron Liberti and Saul Zimet.

Eric also has work in a group exhibit at The Looking Glass Cafe. Other artists in that show include Kevin Dixon and Paul Freidrich!

If you’re in the Durham/Chapel Hill area and interested in plein air painting, please sign up for my seven-Saturday course at the Carrboro Arts Center. It’s up to a group vote, but we’re scheduled to visit spots at Duke Forest, the Botanical Gardens and Northwoods trails. Questions? Drop me a line.

These are some of the latest pieces I’ve had the pleasure to work on for the UNC School of Public Health. The interactive pieces are made in Flash, Illustrator, and Cinema 4D and they’re built to live in BlackBoard or Sakai. The only thing we bought was the iStock video of the man in the desert. The interface was only meant for client review.
