This past Sunday was the Art + Design Open Market in Old Town Pasadena, hosted by One Colorado, Pasadena City College, and Art Center College of Design. This was my first time participating in this event, as well as my first time presenting my work for sale to the public. Here’s a big thanks to everyone who came out and supported not only myself, but all the other artists as well.

Despite the heat, I had a great time and felt like I got some pretty good exposure. I met a few great artists and a lot of cool people. I even sold a few prints! I’m definitely going to do it again next time around. Stay tuned for updates!

The Piano of Willis Pond

There was a recent article on ESPN.com about Babe Ruth’s home going on sale in Sudbury, Massachusetts. He began building the house when he was still playing for the Boston Red Sox and completed after he was traded to the New York Yankees.

The article related a story which I found very interesting. One night during a party at a rented cabin on nearby Willis Pond, Ruth pushed an upright piano onto the frozen surface of the pond. It remained there until the ice thawed in the spring and the piano sank to the bottom, where according to legend it remains to this day.

The story captivated my imagination, which culminated in the piece you see before you. If you happen to like it enough, prints will be sold at the upcoming Art + Design Open Market in Pasadena. See my previous post for all the pertinent information. Thanks for looking!

Shoeless Joe Jackson

It’s beginning to look a lot like baseball.

The Lone Ranger and Tonto by Fran Striker

A couple months ago I found a used book for sale at my local public library. At only a dollar, it was a mega steal. Published in 1940, the book jacket got lost somewhere in the last 70 years and I thought it would be a fun project to illustrate and design a new one.

Here’s a drawing of Hank Aaron. I dropped in some color to see how it would look.
