I happened to go in to Fireflies for dinner yesterday and managed to get everything straightened out with the Painting Show that was supposed to start this summer.
Koi Paintings will be going up Labor Day and be there for a currently undetermined amount of time. I'm guessing a month, but I'm not sure.
So, to summarize:
Koi Paintings!
Fireflies!
Starting September 1!
Working on some new pieces for the Fireflies show in July.
Yes, I work flat on the floor. Yes, I got the idea from watching Pollock.
Just a quick heads up. I'll be showing some Swim Paintings at Fireflies in Alexandria, VA next month. No opening or anything this time around, but stop by and check them out when you get a chance.
My friend Lacey told me that Servathon DC was looking for mural artists, and being that I hadn't ever done mural work (outside of Artomatic last year) I signed right up.
The project took place at Sharpe Health School on 13th street NW. They take care of students with a range of learning, physical, and mental disabilities, so giving them some fish on their walls was the least I could do.

Part 1:
I had gone in the day before to the actual event to sketch in the fish with a super sweet large Sharpie. The next morning I started adding coats of orange.
Part 2:
After the first coat was done I was joined by a couple of volunteers and we did the second coat.
Part 3:
Once that dried (which was pretty much instantaneous cause it was about 85 degrees in that room), I went back and did all the detail work.
So all said and done, it was just about 7 hours of work. Good Karma all around. Apparently they're going to get a fish tank for the room now.
(Thanks Flickr for shrinking my 3000 pixel wide images down to 1/2 their size when I uploaded them... what the heck?)
