Softly turned to winter

Winter seems to have snuck up on us this year. December came around and the temperature plummeted, leaves disappeared and things as a whole slowed down. Luckily with that, came fewer distractions - so when Kay and i aren't hibernating at home watching movies, We're spending more time in the studio.

Here are a photos from the last week or two of work...

An afternoon's worth of sketches and drawings.

Drawing hair. lots of hair.

Close crop of a big drawing almost completed

Progress on a suite of panels. many many more to come.

I currently have a collection of a dozen or so drawings, plus some prints up for the Annual Small Works exhibition at Gutstein Gallery here in Savannah.

"It Is What It Is, But It Isn't" - ATL

I just returned from spending a week in Atlanta, where I had the great pleasure of working with California-based artist, Kendell Carter, on his most recent solo venture, "It Is What It Is, But It Is'nt".

It took the better part of the week to wrap the install, but it couldn't have turned out better. His work is fantastic, and this show is no exception . If you are anywhere near Atlanta in the coming weeks, please visit the Trois Gallery!

Picturing The Beast - Savannah

Back in the Spring of 2009, I finished my "Mobilization" Print for a Trade Portfolio that my dear friends Curtis and Jen put together for SGC 2009 in Chicago.

Space Camp 2010

Earlier this month, Kay and I took a long weekend with our friends Jonathan and Whitney. We ventured down to Florida to hang out on the beach and nerd out at the Kennedy Space Center...

Polaroid of Kay and I just inside the center

Jon and Whit's dog, JD - ready to hit the road

Kennedy Space Center's awesome Rocket Garden

Polaroid of Jonathan and Whitney in the Rocket garden

USA! USA!

Kay on a walkway that was once used by the astronauts...

I've gotta say, the Russians certainly  got a couple things right in their space program. For starters, the term "cosmonaut" is way cooler than "astronaut"

...and they've got a great color scheme going here.

Astro-Snoopy

Great logo design for the Apollo 8 Mission

You know I'm a sucker for diagrams

Jonathan and I in front of the Astrovan

While we were in the park we were lucky enough to watch a test flight of the new Falcon IX rocket. 

Being inside the Space center, we were able to get just about as close to the launch as a civilian can get.

Take off!

Kay and I right after the launch!

Yay Space!

Polaroid of a brutal storm rolling in over the Rocket garden as we left.

Cool coffee shop sign in downtown Titusville

Jon and Whit in a small museum in downtown Titusville.

They had actual consoles from early NASA launches, which were really great to examine.

Astro-snoopy again

More great design work for the Apollo missions

Jonathan and I playing Bocce on Cocoa Beach

On our last day we visited Playlinda beach, which is part of the Nature preserve in the KSC. Miles and miles of beautiful beaches. A great end to a great trip. If you ever get a chance to check out the space center, do it. It's pretty exciting.

Whitney also has a ton of photos on her Flickr.
