A brand new painting (still wet yesterday).

My next endeavor is a 60″ x 45″ monster, which will probably have me wrapped up for the next month or so, but I’ll post one or two other ones here in the meantime.

So, Todd, Lee, Dean and myself have been lending our talents to a monthly art/music showcase called “Picture This…”. This month I’ve decided to do a display of 150 one-of-a-kind buttons featuring the artwork of my friends (and everyone else you guys might know). Each button will be hung like a tiny art piece and will have the artists name and website on the back of them. Ideally I’d like to sell the collection off at cost ($2?) by the end of the night. My hope is that this will make us a few fans, and generate some good word of mouth when people spot their friends wearing them around town. Time is short though, so feel free to crop existing work and send it to me ASAP. Deadline is next Monday.
