I Am Evil Promo, "popular/mechanics" at the Cameron House

So I'm hanging the show today at the Cameron House and will be there from 4-6pm for early bird purchases, the reception is Nov.24th from 4-7pm. I'll post photos of the show tomorrow so you can see the glory, but of course, it may look different on the 24th as work sells and is replaced.

Alright, gotta go pick up some branches in the yard

Marvel Universe series for "popular/mechanics"

Marvel Universe Series

The Thing, Iron Man (w/Loki Horns), Arnim Zola (Samurai Warrior), The White Rabbit

Namor, The Hulk (Wrestling Tights), Captain America (Deep Sea Diver), The Black Widow (in the Savage Land)

10x12inches,acrylic on canvas

$100.00each

Thinking of adding these to the show, I think they fit the "pop" aspect of "popular/mechanics" and I haven't shown them anywhere but on Devianart and my blog(s). You can read my descriptions of each at the Any How Town blog (see sidebar links), I was going to do about 100 of them and have a dedicated show but my plans have recently changed to finishing the first two books in the Any How Town series (see link) and that's really where my head needs to be.

for the show "popular/mechanics" at the Cameron house in November.

Show goes up Oct. 30th, Reception Nov. 17th (new date!) — at The Cameron House.

This piece actually began as a bit of poetry/song liyric that I was writing in the car on the way to Ottawa -

"There he goes, the one man band, the loneliest man I know, blowin' a horn and banging the drum and shouting, I'm the loneliest man I know. No don't pity him, oh no don't you pity him. The last man standing was the one man band."  I know alot of musicians, I've seen alot of solo acoustic perfomers - I figure that's how this wormed it's way into my head. It may have even been a plan to do a piece like this for "Silver" (see sidebar labels) and I never got around to it. Regardless, here he is.

 Also the Reception for the show is Saturday the 24th of November, 4-7pm at the Cameron House

and the drums, the drums, the drums

The Drum Corps

20x20inches,acrylic on canvas

$500.00

We haven't seen these ladies in over three years probably, unless of course you've been to the Garrison where the last painting that I did featuring the drum corps is hanging. I can't remember what it's called, man that was a long time and many paintings ago.

They're back and looking fine, I may do a touch up here and there on the drums but I'm pretty happy with the piece now, it went through many, many tone changes over the past couple of weeks.

As always you can see my work at the Wilson 96 (615 College Str. pop in after you go see something at the Royal) or at the Press Club (850 Dundas West) or at Red Fish Restaurant on College.

Coming up next month The Cameron House!

Detail from Bicycle #4

It's Friday and I've taken the day off from the studio to rake leaves, tidy the house and studio, continue the ongoing project of acclimating my dog to the nail trimming Dremel tool (this will take weeks) and other "around the house" kind of tasks. This evening you can find me having a couple of glasses of fine beer at the Wilson 96 on College I'll be there from 7:30-9ish if you'd like to see the work hanging there (just scoll down on the blog to check out what is up on the walls).

I've also been doing alot of building and posting tutorials over at the Any How Town blogsite (see side bar) and I think I've finally committed to building a large scale diorama. There's alot of stuff in the studio just waiting to be put to use and I think November will be the time to do it, barring how many Christmas commissions I will get. I'm going to first figure out how large the box should be for the diorama and then build it next week, this will be a pretty intensive project and I'm really looking forward to it.

alright, have a good one, I've got a dining room table to clear.

We're bouncing all over the house today, working on some models (see Any How Town blog, sidebar) blocking in some ideas for a couple of 16x20 Robots and generally making a mess, it's great fun.

Okay, like I said yesterday I'll be hanging out at the Wilson 96 (615 College Str. across from the Revue Cinema) on the early side pf 7-9pm if you want to come by and see the work.

I may also rake some leaves today.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend with friends and family, I was in Ottawa having an incredible experience in Nature, feeding deer, watching Wild Turkeys from twenty feet away, watched THREE Blue Jays feeding at the same time, heading out for walks in the woods, it was fantastic.

Yes, of course I took pictures of the turning leaves,don't be silly, it was very inspiring.

The next three posts or so will be of Water Towers, feels good to be painting them again.

Short post today, the closer we get to hanging the show at the Cameron House (23 days) the less I have to say, there's just so much to do.

cheers,

commission

Still a couple of little touches to do on the waves but very happy with the rest of this commission. I've been busting my head down in the studio about finishing new work and today decided that I'm not going to stress about finishing all of the new work right now, it's fine to hang pieces from the past few months at the Cameron Show in November. I still have them, they're still great and most people have only seen them online anyways. So that's a load off.

Also the voting is still going for the NOW Best of Toronto and you can enter my name Andrew Shay Hahn if you'd like to nominate me for Best Local Artist, here's the link
