6x6x2011 online gallery

The 6x6x2011 show is coming together! The Rochester Contemporary Art Center has posted this year’s online gallery of over 4400 pieces from all over the globe. This year there are prizes for the top 3 popular vote getters. You can cast a vote every day between now and July 1st. I would love your support for my rollergirl piece.

I have 5 pieces in the show and here are the last two which I was saving until now:



Both of these are available as prints from Society6.

You can see all 5 pieces in this set on my flickrstream.

I decided to do one more little portrait for the 6x6x2011 show. I did four portraits last year and they inspired the whole ‘Faces of Flickr’ series I have been doing ever since. I’ve had this amazing portrait set aside for a long time and finally got around to painting it.

This image is available as a print from Society6.

So, I matched my total of 5 pieces from last year. I had a few other ideas but I’m really happy with the ones I did finish. I’m trying to save the last two until the show opens in June.

6x6x2011 is just around the corner!

Less than 2 weeks until the deadline for the 6x6x2011 show at the Rochester Contemporary Art Center. So far I’ve got 4 pieces ‘in the can’ with one or two more possibilities. I’m going to hold off on posting most of them until the show opens in June but here’s one of a pair of mandalas that will be in my submission.

Check out the other one over on my flickrstream. Also, I just saw this posted on the 6x6 Facebook page:

6x6 artworks by internationally renowned street artists Faith 47 and dal will be included this year!

Pretty damn cool and they linked to this great mini-documentary on Faith 47.

Three Drawings in Progress

Very often I can't seem to complete one thing without moving on to something else. Eventually I'll come back around and finish it, but it's rare that I work on one drawing straight through. To illustrate this I present 3 drawings in various stages. The one on the left was begun ages ago (probably late June, early July) and I'm trying a mix of pencils with the usual ink and brush. The other two were both started in the last few days (the one on the right first actually). Hopefully I'll have all three finished by the end of the week.


UPDATE: I finished the one on the left last night (8/18/10) but I'm going to hold off posting it until it reaches it's new home. In the meantime, you can see all my portraits in this flickr set.

6x6x2010

The 6x6x2010 show opens this weekend at the Rochester Contemporary Art Center. This year the show recieved 5,000 artworks by 2,000 artists from 22 countries and 43 US states! The online gallery is up now and online purchasing begins Monday, June 7th at 10 AM.


I contributed 5 pieces, the 4 portraits above (see them larger here) and an abstract comic which I talked about in a previous post. The portrait series I'm calling "Faces of Flickr" since all my reference photos were found on flickr.com, a great photo sharing site that I use to post all my artwork.

I liked this format and I've got a few blank squares left over, so I'll probably continue this series. Let me know if you have a portrait that you’d like to see rendered like these.

A sweaty-toothed Madman!

Remember that line from the film, Dead Poet's Society? Well, I found an amazing photo from flickr-ite ipelisa that just begged to be sketched so I threw this together.


Speaking of flickr, please check out my page over there. I've been adding a bunch of new drawings including my latest entries in the moly_x project.
