Nest and Upcoming shows

Hey all,

Since I joined Conceptart.org in 2003, my eyes were opened to some talented artists that will make your eyes bleed in envy, but at the same time inspire you to do better. The same artists and more formed the powerful Safehouse Atelier which is already having some amazing shows and a great collective pool of artists are exhibiting together in one night, and it's bound to be an incredible show.

 The Third show entitled "The Humble Show" is a silent auction, one night only, Sunday November 20th at 7pm, bidding ends at 10pm. Seeing their work really made me work harder, and it still does. This is the nature of humility, first you need to be stripped away of your ego, and then you need to figure out how to rebuild. These themes were the subject of the nest drawing, which I really enjoyed working on. 
 I met and stayed with some of the artists earlier this year, they are all great people and I know it's bound to be a fun night if you can make it down in person, but otherwise the works are going to be posted online here.

I'll be exhibiting works from Anima with Phone Booth Gallery at the Art Du Vin wine bar for the group Show "Clap Hands", so if you are a fan of wine or art, or both then you should definitely head down.
 I've attached the flyer below for details, drawn by the great, talented Ryan Milner! It should be a fun night, there should be plenty of great art!

It's pencil and pastel, 14" by 17" And we may be doing a print run, to help me figure out the demand, let me know if you'd be interested.

Gnostic Cosmic Rasputin

Got a couple new paintings in oil/pastel, same size, 8" x 10"

Painting on the left sits inside the cover. It's a bit ironic that I've ripped out pages from this new book, seems that thanks to the previous book I can hardly ever get to keep the pages inside now :)
The fuzzy writing is in Greek, "know thyself" which was inscribed in the Oracle of Delphi, Greece.
Should finish and post the nest drawing this week, unless something goes wrong :)

Cheers!

Nest drawing and tattoo in progress

Hey guys

Here's a piece I'm currently working on. I had initially mentally planned for a dark background but I may go with a light one with pastel touches behind the objects

I'm also really excited to share some progress shots of a tattoo that combines a couple if my artworks into one image on a sleeve. 

The artist is an ex Ashtons student, Mark Powell, looks like he's done a great job so far and I am really looking forward to seeing the final work.

These are only iphone shots, but we'll have better pics soon.

Cheers!

Here are the originals in case you haven't seen them.
