Fridge-a-Thon event
Last night, After Hours Gallery, in downtown Phoenix, hosted the SRP Fridge-a-Thon. The media and many people showed for the event. There were 15 fridges by 15 different artists and they were all so different and fun. It has been a great time in my career to be apart of the Fridge-a-Thon.

TV spot
I am being filmed today at Cox Studios with my fridge, Shooting Star, for a TV spot. I will let you know how it goes. Supposedly they are doing it in stop animation.
Star Light, 13x13" on canvas
This is a mixed media painting. I took two digital images and transformed them in photoshop. Then I put the image on canvas and stretched it. I put texture on some the areas and then I painted and poured acrylics and inks on the image leaving some areas free of paint. This was very fun to do and I want to do more of it.
Shooting Star and me.
This is me and my fridge, Shooting Star, at Country Thunder on April 17, 2010. Their are autographs from the performers including Keith Urban's on the face. This will be auctioned off at a later date.

Pinnacle and Mahala will be featured in an art magazine called "Vortex". Mahala will be the cover girl and she is honored as I am.
Tasha
This is an acrylic and ink painting of a horses head. It is on a 4'x3' gallery wrapped canvas. She is very colorful and vibrant.

SRP, a utility company, asked me to paint on an old fridge for an energy promotion. It has been taken out to Country Thunder in Florence Arizona. It is a four day concert which I will be the featured artist in the SRP tent. I will be painting on the fridge at the event on April 15-17, 2010. It has been fun.
