What's New

Alot has happened lately, here is the latest. Performed a comedy show at the Elevens in Northampton,MA for the monthly Mass Laughs Comedy show. We had a great line up of comics, a big audience, and I feel my confidence growing with each show I do. I had a bunch of new jokes and they went over well. So instead of being cooped up in the studio painting by myself, I have been exploring this more theatrical form of art. I also had the chance to host an open mic at Bishops Lounge for the new Sunday night, 7:30 show. I make weird observations on the world and think, "how can I turn this into a joke?" Kind of similarly to my painting, observing and recording the world through my own perspective. For the past two weeks I helped teach Art Camp through Monson Parks and Recreation Department. We studied nature through art and recycled materials to create paper mache Oaxaca inspired animals. Every time I have the chance to work with young kids, I am reminded how creative and full of energy they are. A pleasure to do Art Camp every year. If you are in the Monson area and have some little ones, think of enrolling them next year. There is a 5-7 year old group and then 8-13 or so. Included are some pictures. I also helped out Greene Room Productions with their 4th of July parade which was Alice in Wonderland themed, painting up some guys on stilts to resemble pink flamingos! Air brush and smaller brush work, threw them in my car and raced down to get them in the parade, where about 4,000 people flock to Main St Monson for Summerfest!
