Were you able to make it to the Dubuque Area Arts Collective for the First Friday show? If not, don't worry! The art will be up all month, and there will be plenty of music shows coming up! Keep your eyes out for more info! 👀

Luck of the Draw. My playing card. I've been sitting here trying to finish this project All. Damn. Day. There's one final step. I just can't seem to start it. It was due to the gallery today, Saturday, but I had to take an 11 hr trip out of town on Friday to be seen in an Emergency Department for a post-op infection and was not able to finish it on Friday, so I was given an extension. But I still want to turn it in by Sunday, and it'll still need to dry. Words of encouragement are appreciated. 🙏

I had a blast at the metal show, listening to The Sparrows along with Dredge, Riff Worm and the Heist, and the other band Riff was in (I can't recall their band name!! 🤦‍♂️) Follow the Dubuque Area Arts Collective page for information about shows and events happening there! You will find a sanctuary there!! 🙌 Located at 900 Central Ave, DBQ, in the old POSH/Cue Masters building.

Just ordered, a new style of print will be coming in stock soon! Because these were ordered for a special request, they will be decently sized prints at 10x20. The original painting is 15x30, for reference. I will only have 5 of these in stock for sale to start. If this is a painting you have ever liked or admired, now is your chance to score a version of it! Feel free to claim yours in advance, message me for pricing and details.

It was a "Perfect Day" at the Dubuque Arboretum yesterday for their 2026 Artistry in the Park event. It was a blast meeting new people, answering questions about my art, and even making some sales. One of my originals, my 5x7 "Skull Study," (a black & white ink pen stippling study in a vintage gold frame) has now found itself a new home. Thank you to all who were able to come out and support local art, artists, and the and Botanical Gardens!!! 🙏 🙌

When you wake up randomly at 5a and can't get back to sleep, you pull out your sketchbook and spend the morning trying to finish a sketch from earlier this year started in a class at the Bluff Strokes Art Center 😅

That is, until your brush pen starts running out of ink... 😬😬

What do we think, will this one be worthy of prints? 🤔
