The Flying Carrots of Burlington, Ontario

I got a very complimentary email from the coach of a hockey team of 7 year olds from Burlington, Ontario (isn't the internet amazing?). They wear orange jerseys and have dubbed their team The Flying Carrots. Coach Paul asked me if they could use an image of mine he had found online on some special year-end pucks for the kids and I was thrilled! I asked for three things in return:
1. A scan of the printed puck.
2. A team photo of The Flying Carrots
3. And lastly, because of their proximity to Toronto and my proximity to Washington, DC...they have to root for the Capitals to beat the Maple Leafs at least once next season.
Deal!
Thanks again, Paul! GO FLYING CARROTS!

Fat Bat

This plus-sized bat-costumed super-hero painting is now hanging with five other of my paintings now through August on the first floor of Georgetown University's Lauinger Library Napolitano Gallery.

Don't Panic!

Here's a new painting titled Don't Panic! that I just finished and will hang with a couple others this week in a staff art exhibit at Georgetown University. Just a friendly robot on a walk through the city. No need to panic. Everyone just calm down.

Hairball Tuesday!

It's always fun to wake up in the morning and walk barefoot downstairs in the dark and step in a gift offering from Itty or Twiglet Hagen.

Omni-Shoreham Ad

I'm in the process of scanning past illustration work to put up on my forthcoming website and found this DC map illustration I had done for the Omni-Shoreham hotel (upper left, on top of the hill). The client was thrilled with it, which is always a plus. I really think DC is a beautiful city (although it doesn't have the violet- colored streets depicted here). I used some artistic license to clear some of the traffic and office buildings, I hope you don't mind. Below, is the inside of the brochure. (city not to scale). color pencil, 11" x 17."
