Well, the 2010 Neptune Festival has come and gone, and I managed to get a few pictures and some movie footage with my flip camera. It was a total blast! I sold a lot of stuff, and had a great time. Here are some photos

Fish Plaques

I made these crazy fish plaques out of old painting palettes.. I have accumulated a stack of these things, and instead of throwing them out, I saw something IN them..

The NEPTUNE Festival!

Well September is here and I'm now preparing for the Neptune Festival, which runs from Friday Sept. 24th through Sunday Sept. 26th. For those of you who are not familiar with The Neptune Festival, it's a biggie.. many excellent artists in the show, plus an international sand sculpting contest (I had the privilege of judging it last year with Paul DiPasquale, renowned sculptor), plus a surfing contest, a parade, a marathon, live bands,and many other fun filled events. I mainly concentrate on entering the big shows at the beach (like The Neptune) because a lot of people attend these, plus I am hoping to sell some of my artwork and make many new contacts. Plus the Neptune is TON of fun!! This year I will be exhibiting my paintings, prints, custom skateboards and faux skateboard plaques.. plus some new abstract and far out goodies.. soon to be revealed! More fun that I can hardly stand. Peace... Bob

News Article in the Norfolk Examiner

August is fast approaching and SO much is going on in my art world! I'll be in several art shows in August, a lot of new stuff to do and images to share. Next week I'll be giving the details on all of this.. however, today I am stoked to share a news article written about me in The Norfolk Examiner by Wyn Hall. I met Wyn at the Bayou Boogaloo Cajun festival in Norfolk back in June, and after I drew his caricature, he told me that he wanted to write an article. He followed through with his promise, and here it is!.. Bob

The Art Show, Saturday Feb. 20th

Today is Tuesday, Feb. 23rd, and I'm getting back to my blog.. This past Saturday was the art show at Austin Surfboards, and it was a great time! My wife Heather and I arrived at the surf shop at around 4:30 pm to set up, and by the time the show started at 6 pm, we were ready to go. Austin had a new shortboard ready for me to paint, and for the next 3 hours I gave a painting demonstration (a groovy wave design). Several other artists were there too, and they also had a complimentary beer tasting by the local brewery "Gordon Biersch". Go to my facebook fan page to see the pictures!
