My recent Sharpie art, part 5

 This is the last of my Sharpie "scribble style" drawings I've finished.  This drawing of Tupac Shakur was supposed to be for the current Earshot Music show, but it sold before it made it up on the wall.  I'm working on a replacement right now.  Sharpies on paper, 18" X 24".  Sold.
 This is the Kurt Cobain drawing I did, in the online flyer version, because it's way better than the photo I took.  Photo by Phred at Earshot.  Sharpies on paper, 18" X 24".  Sold.
 This is the first order for a drawing I got form the Earshot Music show.  "Bob Marley: One Love."  Sharpies on paper, 18" X 24".  Sold.
This is my personal favorite of the drawings up right now at the Earshot Music show.  "Tainted Love" is a great song, and I was looking for an excuse to draw Harley Quinn from the Suicide Squad movie, inspired by this fan video using Marilyn Manson's cover of the song.  Sharpies on paper, 18" X 24".  Available. 

For anyone who's curious, these drawings take about 25 to 35 hours each to draw.

Earshot Music Art Show: Drawings sold already


 It's been about ten days since the opening of my art show on the wall of Earshot Music in Winston-Salem (North Carolina).  Living in a tent all summer, meting lots of new people, and drawing like crazy helped make this happen.  The Kurt Cobain/Nirvana drawing, used as the online flyer above, sold the day before the show.  The Prince drawing below sold a couple of days ago.  Getting an artist profile in the Winston-Salem Journal, promotion by Earshot art coordinator Jane Buck and shop owner Phred got word out.  I also pounded the pavement and passed out a bunch of flyers in the Trade Street art district here. 
I'm totally stoked that lots of people seem to be psyched on my work, and that a couple have sold.  I'm not in this to be any kind of famous artist.  I just want to draw things that people dig and are psyched to hang on their wall.  Both drawings are Sharpies on paper, in my unique "scribble style," and 18" X 24". 

Kieran Woolley's "Opera" segment

I never heard of him before today, which doesn't mean much.  But this is a really cool skate segment, so check it out.   I do most of my...
