New art: Back Rooms of My Mind Door# 10513

In the middle of working on many projects, it's not always easy to finish when they are all in different stages. I went through a good streak where I was completing a lot of drawings and posting one a week. I have stepped back from cranking out the smaller drawings and have shifted to working on some paintings. 

In between paintings and waiting for the paint to dry, I routinely go back my sketch pad. This is where I  allow my mind to go free and conjure up new ideas for future series.

Here is the newest addition to the Back Rooms of My Mind series- Door# 10513

Prints available here.

I was thinking of water coloring this drawing in as I mainly leave them Black & White. If I do decide to work in some watercolor which I feel would really work well with this series, I will post the changes.

Here are some pens I started using for my ink drawings a while back. They are worth buying as they are waterproof and work great!

"I'm cracked and I'm dried out...

and I haven't slept in days"

Not literally. These are some lyrics from the song "You Lay The Dust" by Assembly of Dust. One of my favorite bands and if you have the opportunity to hear these guys live, I highly recommend doing so.

Anyways, back to business. I am heading down to MA (again) tomorrow and dropping off two paintings (which can be found here) at the Bridgewater Art Gallery in Bridgewater, MA.

These paintings (along with 9 other artists) will be in the gallery for the month of October. Be sure to stop in if you are in the area.

The two paintings that I am placing in are: "Colour of Music III" and a new painting "A Master's Mind". Both can be found on my Homepage at www.moonartdesign.com

Let me know what you think when you have the chance.

Well that's it for now. I am beat!

Cheers!

Support Live Music!!!

I still have "Support Life Music " shirts for sale. If you would like one please send me an email at moonart.design@gmail.com

A Master's Mind

This is a new painting I finished a few weeks ago,

"A Master's Mind". What do you think? I like this this painting a lot. This is a very good representation of my mind and how I operate. Even though I am all over the place I am still focused. I am thinking ahead and moving when necessary. I never rush into a situation without thinking about it first.

Maybe someday I will be a Grandmaster and maybe someday I will paint my masterpiece.

If you are in Keene on Friday, stop on down to the Lotus and Orchid. I will be swapping in some new art for some old. Should be fun. I hope to see you there!

Cheers!

New Art

Okay it's been a while since the last post. I've been busy and busy is always good! I have another drawing (White charcoal and Black charcoal) on recycled cardboard. This is a sail boat for all the sailors out there!

How can you not love a sailor?

News:

My three weeks headlining exhibit in the Keene, NH art gallery (Lotus and Orchid) is finally up. :( However, I have been asked to keep three pieces in the gallery on a month to month basis and I have accepted. I am going to be leaving the Saxophone player "Colour of Music VII" oil painting in and adding two more pieces. Once I have decided what to bring down I will let you know.

In the mean time go to Keene and see the gallery!!!

In other news, I am getting things ready for the "Art In The Park" the first weekend of September. This is a two day affair (Sat. 9/5 and Sun. 9/6). I am busy printing up some prints and creating some t-shirt designs. If you have any shirts that you would like to see let me know.

That's is it for now. Have fun out there.

Cheers!

Art Opening

This past weekend was the opening for my exhibit down in Keene, NH at the Lotus and Orchid. If you made it out there thanks for the support! Along with the Lotus and Orchid there were several other venues participating in the Keene Art Walk. It was great to see something like this going on.
My art will be in the Lotus and Orchid till the end of July and perhaps through to August. I will keep you upadted as I learn more.

If you are interested in some custom art please let me know. If you have some free time check out www.moonartdesign.com

Enjoy the weather while we have it!

Cheers

Moose II

Here is some more eco art. I have been trying to finish up some drawings I started a few months ago, so here is another "Moose II".
I happen to like this guy more than the first Moose. What do you think?

This was drawn on cardboard using pencil, Black charcoal and white charcoal. I think the charcoal work really well with the brown cardboard behind it.

If you would like to purchase a print or the original feel free to send me an email.

In other news it's raining. Hopefully this weekend we will have some sunshine and clear skies at night!

Have a good rest of the week we are almost there!

Cheers

Lotus and Orchid

If you happen to find yourself in Keene, NH after July 10th, then you should swing on into the Lotus and Orchid Art gallery. The title of the exhibit is "Grey Matter" (Art for the Brain).

Along with myself, there are three talented artist displaying art, (Dave Fitzsimmons, Karena Ness, Amy Hovasapian) and we will be accompanied by the live music of "The Trouble with Harry".

There will be an artist meet and greet from 5pm-8pm on Friday 7/10. It would be great to see you there!

Cheers!

What's going on?

It's been a while since I last posted. I've been busy working on a web site, Pinehurstbill.com. It's still in progress but you can check out the logo design by clicking on the link above.

I wanted to fill you in on some happenings:

I have been working on about five to six paintings for the past few months and two of them are about done. Once I finish them I will post them on here and they will be added to my painting gallery.

I will be showing some of my painting in a gallery in Keene, NH called the Lotus & Orchid in July. I will keep you informed as the date gets closer.

And then... Later on down the road in September, there will be a gathering of around 80 artists in Ashuelot Park in Keene, NH. I am expected this to be a lot of fun and a fantastic time! All who can should come. The Art in the Park art festival will be taking place September 5-6. I look forward to meeting you there. 

Whelp, talk to you later.

Peace

New Art

I have been working on this piece for a while now. I am still not sure what I'm going to do with it yet but I am starting to like it. This painting has gone through several stages and has been left alone for a couple of years. I have just recently pulled this one out of the closet. At least now I can develop some ideas from this and see where I want to go with it.  The use of line frequently appears in my drawing's. At the moment this painting is untitled.

What do you think of this so far? I would love to hear your input.

I have a few other painting's that are finally coming to a finish. One of the paintings is called "A Master's Mind" and the other painting is called " A Simple Twist of Fate". A simple twist of fate is the second painting from the Tribute to Bob Dylan's "Blood On The Tracks" album I started last summer. These painting's are coming along nicely and I can't wait to upload them!

The weather is suppose to be gorgeous this weekend! Get outside and have some fun!

Long Time Coming

Whelp, it's been a while since I have stepped into the studio. Since before I went to Ireland actually. I am hoping I have some time this weekend to bust out some art. I have been working on these three pieces that have been coming along nicely. The trouble is, they are taking forever to dry.

I will try to upload something new soon.

Peace

ART UP!

If you are going to be in the area of Hudson, NH any time soon, you should stop in to a neat little restaurant called Dynamite Sushi! I will be the latest addition of artists who frequent the walls of this fine establishment. Now, I am not a big Sushi eater, never have been. That said, even if your not, stop on by and check out some cool art.

My art should be hanging for about a month and then there should be another artist in there. If you do happen to "stumble" upon Dynamite Sushi, please let me know what you think of my art and the restaurant as a whole. It's always good to hear everyones opinions.

On a side note, Jim, if you are reading this, I am sure your going crazy about my punctuation and in places lack there of!

 I just want to state for the record that I am not a writer and I will make those "common mistakes".

Cheers!

2 More Days till Ireland!!!

Yes, you heard right folks, in two days I will be in the air heading to Ireland!!!

Check out the map. This is the ground (in a nutshell) that I will be covering over the week. It's going to be a lot of go, go, go and a lot of sleeping on the bus. Nonetheless, this is sure going to be a trip for the ages. I will try to get on and post along my travels. 

In other news, I am hanging some art (ten pieces) actually the Sunday I come back. I am hanging my art in a restaurant located in Hudson, NH called Dynamite Sushi

Also, I should have mentioned this a few weeks ago, myself and Michael Piper are combining artistic forces to create a super human artist called.... all right enough of that. We created a project called "24 Hour Art Project". The purpose of this project is to raise money for people in need by creating art for 24 HOURS STRAIGHT! 

We are working on setting up our first project for sometime in May. Stay tuned for more information. That said, if you have or know someone that needs a helping hand we would love to help out. 

Check out our blog @ 24 Hour Art Project for more information.

That is it for now. 

Cheers

Traveling Mooney's

If you frequent my blog you already know and if you don't I am going to fill you on my life. In five more days my brothers and I will be traveling over to Ireland! 

We arrive in Ireland around 5 am and from the moment our feet touch the land we are on the move. We start by hopping on a bus 3-4 hours across the country to Galway.  After plenty of sight seeing and several empty glasses, we head down to County Clare to marvel at the Cliffs of Mohr.

Then we move South to Blarney and admire the extravagant Blarney Castle and of course kiss the Blarney Stone. From there we will be heading to the North East to Dublin. Three days in Dublin to wrap up the trip. A week isn't much for a trip around a country (excluding the Northern part of Ireland) but it's sure going to be a lot of fun. 

I try to get on here before I leave. However, I am going to be busy getting ready and making sure I have everything I need. I will definitely have some pictures posted when I get back.

Have a good weekend everyone and be safe!

Peace

Easel!

Finally, I ended up breaking down and buy a decent easel! The easel I have been using is very rickety and can't even hold most of the paintings I have been working. This is the real deal. No more painting on the floor for me! :)

Tonight is going to be a night in. I will be painting my "arse" off and staying warm. 

I am heading to Ireland in TWO WEEKS!!! Yes, I am a bit excited. I should probably start planning the trip. Ahhh, to hell with that I have my ticket and that's all the planning I really need.

Have a great weekend everyone!!

Peace

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!

 

Bunch of Losers

"Even the losers... get lucky sometime!"

Words to live by? Potentially, if you have a low self-esteem.

 Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers released this track in 1979, off the "Damn The Torpedoes" album.

1979 was it a good year? Wouldn't know I was born in 1982 and let me tell you I live in the Present.  Screw the past and everything that's there ....even those losers! :)

Okay, new topic.... Tom Petty and The "Heartbreakers", how many hearts were they really breaking?

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't Tom Brady ( I mean Petty) doing all the Heart breaking??

Who was even in that band besides Petty? Don't get me wrong, I think what they are doing is great. "Yeah, you go Tom Petty and you sing those songs". "It doesn't even matter whose in your band". The record company isn't really helping there cause by blurring out there faces.

I did happen to see them live down in Massachusetts and it was a great  show! They rocked the stage just like they always do. I highly recommend you check Tom Petty and the "other guys" out. You won't be disappointed.

Cheers

P.S.- Sorry "other guys".

New Drawing-Ninja Mouse

He's fast like Buddha, strong as a sturdy table with three legs and hungrier than a mouse in mouse trap!

It's Ninja Mouse!

I look forward to drawing some more of this character in the future. It was a lot of fun and I think he looks pretty cool.

I should be posting some more art here and on my web site when I have a chance.  I am going to be selling some bookmarks soon and once I have everything worked out I will be posting them everywhere I can.

What do you think of Ninja Mouse?

Let me know your thoughts.

Cheers!
