Wolfie and I just can't stop a good thing from keepin' on keepin' on with our weekly painting sessions on our day off. The weather was on our side yet again this Sunday with perfect Tennessee weather as we busted out some monster and sci-fi inspired acrylics on a panel over five feet long. Joe and Amy were in town visiting from Memphis and were nice enough to pass along some scrap wood they brought to be repurposed for art! Of course, the fun part is recording the entire process and this week we got some luscious cloud coverage time-lapsing along with us; keep an eye out for Mother Nature's art of her own all over the background of the new video linked below...Monday, March 19, 2012
SCIENCE FRICTION (Over Five Feet Long)

GREEN Art for St. Patrick
Happy St. Patty's Day from DREGstudios!
Growing up, St. Patrick's Day is a big deal being from Erin, TN. The tradition of an elaborate celebration of the holiday roots back to the Irish railroad workers who named the town when it's scenic landscape brought to them memories of Ireland. I'm taking Aurora to her first Irish Day Celebration later today to enjoy the festivities in my hometown and then we'll be back home with plans which probably consist or but are not limited to a few glasses of Jameson.

For now, check out the green art I dug up for your fresh eyes today... celebrate safe and Go Bragh!

Dirty Words Come Undone
I spent this past Sunday morning painting with The Wolfman over at his house and recording what went down (in case we managed to make anything good.) We busted out another couple of panels which we had prepped months ago with colorful words and abandoned. Of course the plan was always to cover them and time was up for these foul utterances. Wolfie and I originally planned to swap up and each paint on both panels but somehow a story began to form when we went in to start our first painted characters. We let the sick twisted power of the Universal Spirit of Art take hold of us and tell it's tale. It took a couple of days for me to decide what music to use on this video. Usually I just play around listening to stuff until something sticks and I didn't even know where to start here with the dirty words. Seeing old friends recently probably had something to do with my friends FSN and their cover track of "Come Undone" recorded eons ago in 2004 getting stuck in my head. The members of the band have all moved on to other pastures and projects but you can still jam out to their solid twist on metal by clicking right HERE! Here's the video in all it's Nu Metal Lowbrow glory...

LIVE Painting at Meet 'n 3
Tonight I joined a slew of local crafters (and a few more visual artists) for Meet 'n 3 at The Nashville Farmer's Market. Metro Arts has put together this unique event where a dozen local food trucks fill up one end of the Marketplace while live music and craft vendors set up for the crowd inside the food court area. I brought along some paintings I did back in January for My Hero / My Villain along with a variety of books and prints. The gorgeous spring day put some pep in my step so I decided to go all out tonight and take my easel along for a live painting!Click Here for Nashville Food Trucks' Website and read more about what sort of cuisine you can grab on the go when you come down next month for the Meet 'n 3!
I met a very cool lowbrow artist who I swapped a couple of prints with this evening! Her name is Emma Klingbeil and you can Click HERE for her Etsy Store to see much more of her work! She also needs some traffic worthy of her delightfully creepy creations and if you're visiting me here, she'd probably find you as a satisfied audience by visiting her Facebook Page!

| Aurora chose "Paper Cut-Outs" and I picked out "My Shadow" from Emma's wide collection of prints she had available! She also had some very interesting shadowbox work with clay figures and painting! |
I recorded my painting to time-lapse in the usual fashion over the weekend. Of course, this requires a dozen or so hours of editing and encoding so check back by Monday and I'll have it live!
