bravo breyon.... E. 10th Street commission news
David "the Hit-man" (that's not his nickname) Hittle e-mailed me with some news. The Feast of Lanterns organization is considering using my recent commission pieces for their advertisement of the festival this coming summer. I've included a couple pictures of the commission, specifically panels 3+4, the Festival Panels. I had a table last summer alongside Kevin Johnson, Jerome Neal, Berry Connell and James Horn ... August 27th and we had a great time. The Lord of Yum-Yums was in spectacular form, the bands were great and it only rained briefly in the afternoon. I had a great time and was pleased to find they wanted something done featuring a rendition of the event.
The paintings (four panels total at 4'x6' each, displayed in a pair of 4x12s, in acrylics and spray paint) took two weeks to complete and the project found me in the garage during the coldest and warmest parts of December 05-January 06. So, when I heard today that the festival people were pleased with the work enough to want to use it in promotions, I was quite relieved, as I had taken many liberties in color and rendering of the event.

I keep looking for Boneman in these pictures...hehehe
They are great! I can see why they were selected.
Good job!
I could only squeeze in KJ, but I know him pretty well. I did do a caricature of Berry a while back, like April 05, and then, it was only a caricature of him after Kevin said it resembled him... i added glasses, a pen in the shirt, suspenders and a paintbrush. David thinks I should auction it off this April. heh.
