Finished Mural

Jennifer finished the mural today and it looks brilliant! Finally we have some fish in the studio that Jeremy the Crab Asshole can't eat. We put a hermit crab in the tank last week thinking that his size and shell would protect him and for a few days they seemed to be getting along well, until Saturday morning when there was nothing left but a shell, a couple of legs and the claw that Jeremy spent the rest of the day delightedly sucking the meaty goodness out of.
Jeremy doesn't get any more friends but the mural looks good.

The Brand New Kid

Giant lunch lady head prop for "The Brand New Kid" opening tonight at the Alliance Theatre. So large and frightening, I wish there was more to say about it...
It reminds me of the Face of Bo, I'm glad it is not at the studio anymore.

some stuff about some things:

Thing one: got a little carried away with the sandwich idea, and finished all my sandwich drawings, see above page titled "Sandwiches"
Thing two: the mural will be finished on Tuesday, Jennifer, Robert and I painted the wall this week and next week Jennifer will return to cover it in murally goodness. I am excited!

RAD

The RAD art walk was yesterday. After 3 days of building boxes, painting signs, finding homes for all the random crap Robert and I had accumulated and what seemed like endless sweeping, we actually looked like a proper studio and real live work space. well worth the splinters and bloodied fingers.
A few of our artists sold work, me included, and today it still looks awesome and we have the garage door open because its 62 degrees outside. Yay for February in Georgia!

Why is it impossible to starve in the desert?

Today is Friday, which means figure drawing in the studio. Given the opportunity to draw from a live model, most artists would drop whatever they were doing and jump at the chance...I, however, will never be a true or developed artist because while everyone else was drawing the model, I sat in the corner working on a series of drawings based on a text conversation I had the other day with a friend of mine about a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Here is one in a series of 4 which will be hanging up at RAD tomorrow.

New year, new website...ish.

It was pointed out to me, by someone who apparently had been trying to track me down that all the information on my website was out of date and that among other things the email address listed had been deleted long ago. So yesterday I fixed it...more or less.
One day I will bully Robert into "helping" me redo my website for realz, but for now iweb does a fair job. you can go look at it at www.nicmorgan.net

New year, new stuff!

So the raptor and the falcon made it to the top of the cake and my friends got married. 

heard something funny on parks and recreation the other day that made me laugh, "everytime a couple gets married, two single people die" at this rate I'll have no friends left by the time I'm thirty.

Anyway, I ordered business cards from moo.com, they came in the mail today and are awesome!

I love minimoo cards!
