Magic Bullet Artisphere Creeps

These portraits are all from the Saturday artist in residence I did for the Magic Bullet show at the Artisphere.  Show is up till Nov. 2nd.  Good stuff.  Thanks to all the creeped for sitting and chatting with me.

This fella was the on site manager for the Artisphere and was really cool.  I was really happy with how the sketch turned out.

Bruce actually came in on the Thursday before and was extremely interesting.  Highly knowledgeable and uber friendly.

When I scanned these I clipped the bottom of some of the drawings.  This one lost it's cleavage; which takes away from the sultry noir expression.  'spose I could re-scan, but that seems like a lot of work.

This one also got clipped on the bottom.  Kate was drawing her comic at the same time.  A nice capture of art capturing art.

My pops talking about the Nationals.

This couple from Petworth were really cool.  Mike suggests that if I moved to Petworth and had a longer commute, it would increase my "creep" opportunities.  Sound logic.

This young guy was there with his Dad who, forlorned, stated that his son did not "like" comics.  The son seems to like a copy of Mr. Squibly I had there so maybe he's just been reading all the wrong comics till now.

Yenifer wanted her quote bubble to be "What it is" an apparent inside joke that I kind of blew off.  She was funny.

This one of Xiomara was my favorite.  The colors really popped and i think i got a pretty quick an accurate gesture.  I liked her quote and she was just really enthusiastic the entire time.

A Book

Here is almost an entire sketchbook of material.  From travels in Norway and life in DC.  Keep it creepy people.

Triple Threat

I have an original comics page at the Artisphere through November 3rd.  The "MEGA TURG" was originally published in DC Conspiracy's Magic Bullet #3.  If going all the way to Roslyn, VA just to see one page of art isn't enough to lure you in there is also the Warhol exhibit "Silver Clouds in the adjacent gallery.  Also I will be "in residence" on Thursday September 26th from 6:30pm-9:30pm and September 28th from 1pm-4pm.  I'll be working on pages for issues 8 and 9 of Magic Bullet.  Come on by and I will creep you out (sketch you for free).  Info at the link:

I put three books up on the DC Conspiracy Distro.  They are:
Mr. Squibly's Pooch: FANG
Verse Scribble Verse
and
Vinyl Vagabonds #4 (the pizza deluxe edition) created and printed with Sara
Thanks to the DC Conspiracy folks for putting these cool things together.

Lastly, I'm currently curator of the recently dubbed "Personal Visions Gallery" at the Ratner Museum in Bethesda.  The main space of the museum will feature art work by adults living with disabilities and many of these artists will be from the program I co-created, Studio In-Sight of Cornerstone Montgomery.  The current show "Outer Limits 2013" has one large creep (portrait) by me of one of the artists in the studio.  New shows every other month.  Plus tons of incredible sculpture by Phil Ratner.  Info below:

Lastly lastly lastly, I scanned an entire book of recent sketches and am in editing mode.  I'll be posting them this week.  Sorry for the long hiatus.
