Miles For Marley

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

Today my family and I went and visited our friend Marley as we have often in the last couple months.

She is on her 54th day in Childrens Mercy Hospital, after brain surgery, a stroke, a blood transfusion,  many ups and downs, and now… immense hospital bills. This beautiful and inspiring 18 month year old has been through a lot, and many of us are trying find ways to help her parents Brent and Nikki deal with the financial aftermath.

October tenth is a walk in Liberty Mo. to help raise funds. I encourage all in town to join them for the walk(I will in fact , sadly,  be out of town).

If you can’t walk, pick up a shirt I designed and help out.

I’ll sweeten the pot- If you order a t-shirt, or do the walk, let me know, and I’ll hook up a 20% discount on any print or canvas reproduction ordered from my online store.

Nature Doesn’t Hurry

Heads up on two designs of mine over at PrAna-

One is based on my sculpture work, where nature is overtaking the mechanical and structured world-

The second is inspired by the Lao Tzu poem-

Nature Doesn’t Hurry

Yet

All is Accomplished

This particular tree drawing inspired a series of paintings in which the tree roots adapt and thrive showing the layers of earth beneath, as the roots wind through tires, steel pipes, debris, and waste.

Both drawings are ink on paper and the originals are available.

Weddin’ Art

I had the great honor to be asked by my good pal Andy Chasteen to paint at his wedding last weekend in Arkansas. It was a 12 minute flurry of paint and beats while friends Steven Charles and Jason Roy jammed out on guitar and didgeridoo as people were being seated.
