First week in March I finished up the large paintings by painting the sides, erasing stray pencil marks, cleaning up fingerprints.

I also worked on my bio and artist’s statement. Painful. Those are up on the site, i’ll link later.

On Sat 3/6, I varnished / UV-sprayed the 11 large paintings for the show.
On Sun 3/7 a photographer friend and I tried some new techniques I learned at Fleisher Art Memorial to shoot 5 of the paintings. The techniques worked! After five long years, I now have the ability to make prints of my paintings. I’m selling prints at the gallery show and possible online. More details later

The next week I spent mostly preparing for the first session of Dr. Sketchy’s Philly

But I also painted a painting of Amanda Palmer. I later decided to repaint it. I’ll post more details soon.

This past week I did the second painting of Amanda Palmer. I’m going to auction this painting working with Amanda Palmer and RAINN and all proceeds are going to RAINN.

Also this week, I painted three small paintings, bring the total number of paintings for the show to 17 completed. There’ll be two more that I do.

In the next week I have to get the prints made, promote the show, and try to get three t-shirts and a book made. My plan is to have the t-shirts and the book at the gallery and take orders for anyone who wants them.

Wish us luck.

Here’s some of the Amanda Palmer painting, in progress.
First a color study:
