Another Drink Ma'am?

Here is another drawing I created for the Tufts Harbor http://www.harborwalkrun.org/faf/home/default.asp?ievent=1006775walk in Boston, MA that I walk each year with my family in my sisters honor. She has Mitochondrial disease and like many diseases, there is no cure.

Every year I raise money for the cause and this year I decided to send anyone who donated in support of me an original piece of artwork as an extra incentive.

Prints are available here.

Every year, I also donate 1% of all income earned on the art I have sold throughout the year to the Tufts organization.

Pens for drawing:uni-ball 207 Retractable Gel Ink Pens, Micro, Black 12/pk


For anyone who purchases a print, I will donate 10% of the profits to Tufts.

Thank you for your support.
Cheers!

Painted Town

If you're like me you like to listen to good music and wet your pallet. I can help you with that first one check out www.drinkingsong.org. There you can listen to a new drinking song each day until St. Patty's Day.

My brother (Brian) and I recorded a song a few weeks ago. This song "Painted Town" will be playing on the 28th of February!

This is a song about how the Irish were building all these houses and they had painted the doors all the same color. Now, what happened was the Irishman would go to the local pub and as they tried to stumble home they wouldn't know what house to go into. Story has it that the famous write George Moore painted his door Green so that another writer Oliver St. John Gogarty wouldn't stumble into the wrong place. Needless to say everyone else followed suit.

For this song "Painted Town" we spruced it up a bit and made the tale a lot more interesting.

This will be the last track of the month before we make our run towards the bar(s). [You will have to let me know what you think of the song.]

I will be celebrating St. Patty's in Ireland! This is sure to be a blast and I will be drinking plenty of the black stuff. mmm... I can already taste it. :)

What do you have planned for the 17th of March or that weekend? I would love to hear what you have planned.

Painting, Ireland and a little more Painting

Alright, as usual it has been a while since my last post. There is good reason for that, I have been working on several projects (painting, designing a few logos, painting, hanging out the my love, trying to relax/sleep when I can, upload new art and update my web site and  what consumes most of my time....my day job)!

Few! Did I miss anything? I probably did but let's move forward. 

You might be wondering why there is a pint of Guinness to the left. or You might be excited that there is a print over there. Are you as thirsty as I am? Well, go grab a pint and check out my buddy Jim's site for a new drinking song each day!

Now, the reason I have posted a pint of Guinness is because....

I am headed to Ireland on March 11th!!!!! And you better believe I am heading to the Guinness brewery for a fresh pint! 

As I have been counting down the days a lot of freakish things have been happening with planes and how they have not really wanted to fly properly. Well, all I can say is that I hope I have the pilot who landed in the Hudson (just incase)...Knock on some wood for me. I am heading over there for a week with my two brothers and it is sure to be a blast. We are pretty much covering the entire country in a week (speed tour) guided by Chevy Chase from European Vacation. We will be landing in Dublin, busing it to Galway for a couple days, heading down to Cork and then finishing the trip off for a few pints in Dublin and celebrating St. Patty's Day!!! This is sure to be an amazing and much needed vacation. Although I don't think there will be too much relaxing.

Once I am back in the states I will definitely upload a few shots and some edited stories. ;)

I will then be getting ready to hang some of my art (10 paintings of my choice) in a restaurant down in Hudson, NH. I will post some more information about this as the day moves closer. If you have any suggestions as to what paintings or drawings I hang in the restaurant, please do let me know.

That's all I have for now. 

Cheers!
