Jeanne Knight Faske's Chickee Hut Dedication

A little over a year ago I made a post for my Aunt Jeanne who had passed away. The idea of making a structure in her dedication was proposed, last week the was an unveiling for this Chickee Hut. It was made by the Seminole Tribe and installed at HL Johnson elementary school. I love the Dr. Seuss quote that was included on the plaque inside the hut. Special thanks to Robert Faske for sharing documentation of the event.

Atom and Even: Pt. 0-2 - New series of digital drawings

Last week I was in a group benefit show at ABC No Rio with many artists such as Mike Estabrook, Vandana Jain, Tom Otterness, etc... I showed a new series, Atom and Even, unique digital drawings that are different than my usual format and context. These 3 drawings continue my interest in series/sequence, format and uniqueness. They all use the same base layer and 2 of the layer of drawings are unique and 1 drawings uses a combination of all 3 layers. I have really no rules about how to display them, I even welcome attaching the drawings to a monitor or TV to see them illuminated.

 

Fine Artist of the Month: Digital Drawing for Jeanne Knight Faske (RIP)

Each month I am adding to an on-going series of writings and works about Fine Artists who live(d), work(ed), or are primarily working in the NY area. This month I posted a regular digital drawing for former NY area Fine Artist, and my aunt who died this past week, Jeanne Knight Faske (RIP) who was born in NY and lived in Florida.

I reject all rules, limits, regulations, standards and practices on my site & my digital drawings to present a full color, full resolution digital drawing for my aunt Jeanne. Feel free to download to view on your TV, computer monitor, tablet device, mobile device, etc... This is an unlimited edition, please contact me if you would like a free paper/physical officiating certificate sent to you by postal mail.
I wish I knew her and her art work better, so I could post something in better honor of her and her art work. Rest in peace aunt Jeanne.

My part/play for Party for Playgrounds - Stating the States

Recently, I donated a drawing to the benefit silent auction, Party for Playgrounds, for children's playgrounds in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, NY, USA. The auction will be held this coming Friday, June 3rd from 7-10pm. Sadly, I cannot make it to the auction due to other commitments. It will be a great event and, of course, the cause is of the utmost importance.

"Stating the States", the drawing in the auction, is one of only a few physical paper drawings I plan to produce this year. It uses a new technique I developed with acrylic glow in the dark paint. Below are a few images of it in various lighting states.
