Behind the scenes of ART BLOG #01 "Dear Mr. Mayor..."
 
Last week I embarked on my most ambitious art project of the year... I sent out 10 letters to 10 city mayors along with a gift of an 11x14 "City Drawing" of their city. I will update you all when I hear back from them!
 
 
Current Progress of my latest "City Drawing" LAS VEGAS, Nevada!
 
This week, I'd like to share with you my current project which I've been working on for the past few months. Ever since I started to draw cities I've received requests to have greeting cards, postcards, t-shirts, puzzles, and other gift/souvenir type items made from my "City Drawings". I decided that it was time to try making these items a reality and it was really special for me to be able to hold in my hand a greeting card and puzzle with one of my drawings printed on it! It was like a dream come true and instantly my mind was full of ideas of how marketable this could be for ALL the cities I have drawn and will draw! My focus these past few years has been on selling prints of my art, but this moves me into a whole different area of exciting possibilities...
 
Below are examples of what I've purchased so far and what will soon be available at my ONLINE STORE

PHOTOGRAPHY

I had the opportunity to walk around #MuertosFest at the La Villita Historic Arts Village in downtown San Antonio this past weekend for Dia de los Muertos! This is one of my favorite San Antonio celebrations and I hope you enjoy the photos I was able to take.

More of my photography from this weekend and my past adventures can be found in my archive of more than 10,300 posts on my TUMBLR
 
 
 
 
EVENTS
 
I had the honor of having one of my photos featured at the Brave New World - contemporary art collective featuring artists from San Antonio and Austin at the Albert Gonzales Studio/Gallery at 2402 Guadalupe St. near downtown San Antonio.

MUSIC
 
As you may remember from ART BLOG #01, I shared my goal of having my original songs recorded soon. Well, here is the unofficial list of songs! I'd also love to be able to perform these LIVE to a small intimate group of friends, but I'm not too sure how to go about either of these endeavors... as always, any advice or suggestions are appreciated!
 
 
And in case you'd like to hear a sampling of my music, take a listen below!

I'm hoping to share more about my writing projects in my next ART BLOG #03!
