I had a wonderful time creating this commision for a Kansas City Personalities wall mural installed in a downtown KC apartment building. The wall measures roughly 12’ x 20’. These were all hand drawn graphite and charcoal drawings that I scanned into my mac and delivered digitally. The file was then enlarged and applied to the wall surface.

A few sketches from the streets.

Drawings I made for a commission of the five stages of the Walking Wall installation by Andy Goldsworthy at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City. What an inspiring journey to walk and watch it move.

Needing to get out of the house, I walked down the street to the antique shops that are right around the corner from my house and did some urban sketching.

The Seasons. Acrylic Gouache on Wood Skateboard Deck. 7.75” x 32” Almost finished! I’ll be donating this hand-painted skateboard deck to support the Kansas City Artists Coalition’s 37th Annual Benefit Art Auction taking place on February 29, 2020. This is an extension of my steam of consciousness sketchbook practice. Having fun!

In Kansas City there are lots of options, but I always think of these when I think of KC landmarks.

It’s cold and snowy in Kansas City. I’m working inside for a while.

A large piece I did for a show in Kansas City coming up.

Iconic imagery from Kansas City togs at emotions and fills the soul!

Trying to take advantage of a nice mid-Decemeber day in Kansas City.

I've been working on portraits so much that it's taken up most of my drawing time. I miss the simpler things like trees and mountains so today at lunch I drew this tree.
