Painting and Music: A nice duo with Trio


This past Wednesday, I had the honor to do a "speed-painting" during the duration of a concert performed by Trio in Stereo. (Visit MySpace or Facebook to learn more about this Chicago band!) I was invited to do a painting of some sort so I decided to role out the paper right on the floor in front of the stage. With paint markers, oil sticks and the Magnum 44 permanent marker, I created an image of the 5 band members in roughly 45 minutes. There were many comments on the strong odor this marker produces. Permanent marker is not a sense typically associated at the bar but, well, this was a multi-sensory experience for sure!
Next time, I'm definitely bringing knee pads!

Doodling sculpture

I'd like to think the wandering line in our formation of these dominos this past weekend is connected to the wandering line growing out of my "doodle."

My "doodle" today is the start of a new 3-D piece. It is a continuation of a series I've been working on since I was in North Carolina this past spring.
