The building that houses my studio also has a mural-only space in the entryway called the Ephemeral Gallery. A different artist comes in each month to paint a mural on this 15 by 8 foot wall space, and at the end of each month, it gets whitewashed. I got asked to do it for February, and finished it all in about 7 hours yesterday.

The phrase came from a conversation I had with a friend last week. We were discussing how many friends we both had who are artists, craftspeople, small business owners, and how we really try to support them when we can and that we sincerely wished that everyone we knew could be famous for what it is they do. That sentiment seemed appropriate for a building full of creative offices.

If you happen to be in Portland, it will be up the rest of the month at 412 NW Couch St. It’s right by the entryway doors, so you can even see it well at night if you come by and the doors are locked.

Progress shots and whatnot are up on my Flickr.

The Independent Publishing Resource Center has recently acquired an additional room, directly across the hall from the rest of the Center. I volunteered to paint a lettered piece above the door in the new room, which will be used as an art gallery, classroom, and for perfect binding, which I supervise. I spend at least one day a week in this room, so it was important to me to be able to leave my mark on it a little bit.

It’s still a work in progress, but it’s at a nice pause point right now, so I thought I’d share.

That’s right, it’s got gold leaf! I spare nothing when it comes to the IPRC. Just a few more spots to brush away.

The gold is clean and the lettering can begin. I used a mix of latex and acrylics.

Lettering blocked in.

Outline ribbon, add shadow, erase pencils, sign, date, and we’re good! Sometime soon, I will fully finish it by lettering “Portland, Oregon” in the upper corners, but I like it where it’s at now too.

The two larger spots on either side of the door are currently being painted by the wonderful Lori D.

Friday was the opening of the “Manor of Art” show at Milepost 5. I put quite a lot of work into painting my part of the room, so I was pleased as punch to see so many people attend the opening. At times there were almost a dozen people in my room alone, and considering there were 100+ more rooms in the show, well, you do the math… I think at least one of my pieces sold opening night, hopefully at least a few more before the show comes down at the end of the month.

Best comment of the opening: One guy referred to my work as “a modern take on a drug-crazed 1930’s brain,” which he meant, and I took, as a compliment.

This guy’s thinking about it, thinking…

I didn’t realize while I was painting how awesome it is that the red dude’s faces look like they are reacting to whomever is coming through the door.

When I get the chance, I think I want to seriously explore some of the iconography I use a lot, like the waves, lightning bolts, the blue and brown drips, etc. They’ve kinda been my fallback for the last two years, but I’ve never really tried to consciously start a piece with them in mind.

One more thing: I’ve just created a Facebook fan page for Man’s Face Stuff Moustache Wax. Join up if you’re a fan! This also means I’m now on Facebook if anyone wants to find me, yup.
