PRESS FEST THIS WEEKEND.


at the top is a shot of some of my gig posters hanging at Mitzi's Sister beside the great Alun Piggins and the bottom is the line up for Press Fest, starting Friday at the Press Club, come and see a whole butt load of great bands, expect to see the last of the Muppets get sold off this weekend, so if you want one get there early, I think they are opening around 4 pm to accomodate the sheer volume of folks playing.
We may do a raffle for a piece, but I don't know if there will be time to organize it.

Pencil VS.Pens at Mitzi's Sister

Pencils / Pens
12 x 12 inches acrylic on canvas, framed
$160.OO each

I had these two hair bun pieces sitting on a shelf for over a year at least, maybe since the Anniversary show at the Press Club, I couldn't think of what to do with them, I liked the execution but always felt that they were unfinished. I realized that there hadn't been a " The Sunday Challenge!" on facebook since my show at the Cameron House in May, so this idea came quickly. In the end pencils defeated pens by a score of 1O to 2, I will probably do a couple more of these I immediately started scribbling down other ideas, tiny drink umbrellas and all kinds of stuff, so we'll see where this goes. Hopefully, "Pencils" will be at Mitzi's for the rest of the week, but I have a feeling that it will sell soon, I'll probably do a brown haired version over the next couple of days.
