Getting away from it all

My getaway in New England.
my studio is a secret sanctuary unlike any other, bestowed to me by my grandparents for my graduation from art school. it’s a great space to escape the city and reflect on my busy life. with a view like this you can understand how it’s become my creative nexus.

I'm reading too many comic books (but I love it)!

My favorite memories of my dad

Wonder Woman #25, the 1st comic book
 I ever bought, 1988.
the first comic book i ever bought at seven years old.

my fondest memories with my dad are of our bi-weekly trips to the comic book store in the late ’80s through the ’90s. early in my childhood I would read dad’s old DC and marvel comics over and over, but i loved using my allowance to purchase comics of my own. my love of comic books initially inspired me to draw, later paint, enroll in art school and study abroad, and eventually become an art teacher. thanks, dad!

happy father’s day to all of the dads who deserve to celebrate!

Stepping out

i was lucky enough to be invited to the grand opening of the new davio's cucina and showcase cinema de dux in chestnut hill, just outside boston. amazing food and a terrific viewing experience makes the short drive all the more worth it! special thanks to joseph holladay of mediamax network and shout out to chef eric swartz, a true artist.

wrapping up the school year

i was just telling myself a fun t-shirt project for art class would be great at the end of the school year. then my friend showed up w/ her latest redesign of an over-sized tee. perfect - it’s just what i was thinking! obviously i’ll tweak the lesson a little to fit 14-16 year old students, but this is gonna rock! my friend even offered to come in as a visiting artist. the kids and i love special guests!
