hey you guys

Here's my contribution for the 2nd annual "Hey You Guys Charity Event" taking place Saturday December 5th at the Rialto Theater in South Pasadena. There's going to be lots of great artwork to see and as well as a special screening of the movie "Ghostbusters." The theme for the artwork is movies/shows that influenced you as a child. I loved watching Mary Poppins when I was little and chose a fun scene as inspiration for this illustration.

Please check out the HYG site for more info here: www.heyyouguyscharity.com

You can start bidding on some awesome artwork online as of....now! Go check it out!

Last year's event was awesome and I'm really looking forward to attending this year. If you're in the area please stop by and say hello!

Hey Everyone! So I'm really excited to announce my participation in an Art Auction organized by my pals The Those Guys.

The auction is from November 10th - November 15th.

So check out the all the amazing artists and their work....and bid! It's for a great cause.

The auction is for charity and the group that TTG is working with is Donorschoose.org. They provide art supplies and materials to schools in need. TTG is concentrating on classrooms in Southern California.

Donorschoose.org, TTG's Donors Page

Even if you don't participate in the auction, you can still help with a donation of any amount. So please check them out and consider helping out young, eager creative minds.

TTG will also be a screening the movie "The Goonies" this Saturday November 15th at the Rialto Theater in South Pasadena, California. The movie is free with a small donation at the door.

And finally, above is the piece I painted for the auction. The theme was movies that influenced you when you were a kid, and I think it's pretty clear as to what movie my artwork is based on. The artwork is framed and titled "To Oz."

Big thanks to The Those Guys for their invitation to participate!

These illustrations were inspired by Earth Day and also from eco-friendly products I've seen in the past couple of months. Some of the illustrations featured in previous posts have been modified a tad here to complete this set.

I'm also planning on adding merchandise to my online shop using these illustrations. This is fun stuff my friends.

So I decided to brush up on my (weak) French and Spanish skills by making flashcards. Here is the first French one inspired by last weekends rainfall. We got lots of rain which is quite unusual for Southern California, and it was just wonderful! Doesn't look like there will be any rain this weekend but I will have my polka dotted parapluie just in case. Hehehee.
