Mike plans on drawing more character studies.
Bruce…well…Bruce will draw what Bruce will draw. 🙂
Here are the paintings we submitted to the annual Something Wicked show at Side Street Studio Arts. We decided that this year most of our submissions would be very modestly sized. (We really wanted the fun challenge). There are two though that are surprisingly tiny.
The annual “Something Wicked” show at Side Street is always impressive. The variety of work is always amazing. It’s fun to see horrifying works sitting side by side with cute monsters. Our fellow artists are a talented bunch.
If you’re in Elgin during October, 2016, stop in to see the show. It’s always fun. Find out more about the Friday 10/7/2016 opening reception here.
Stop by the gallery. It will be worth it!
