Hands of Healing

Here is a chalk drawing for a local medical collective in downtown Tacoma...Nice folks with a difficult mission ahead of breaking stereotypes and gaining community acceptance.  Anyway, they wanted a positive artist-outreach thing done, and I'm into that, so this is what I free-styled!

Chevrolet - 2011

I had an old board left over from 15 years ago or so...I had chalked part of the Kweskin Jug Band on a piece of trashed theatre scrap luan.   The other day I slapped some gesso on it and cut poor Jim out of the picture...

Then I put on that old song "Chevrolet" (Though I still prefer Geoff and Maria's version)...This is the result as of today. There's still more to go, but it's fun to see it progress through the stages. Well, here's to recycling!

My love for King Kong knows no bounds...Here I try to tie in Tacoma, Occupy Tacoma, AND throw a shout out to the sponsor, Stadium Video.  I think even being occupied by a 24' tall Gorilla is better than than leaving old city hall to ruin.

Vote here!

"Hilltop" 8-5-11 Frost Park Chalk-off.

Hilltop Art Night Out

I had fun doing some chalk art down at the Hilltop Artists in Residence Art Night Out on Tuesday.  Great Hip-Hop, Dancers, hot dogs, and my kids had a blast running around and dancing.

Then the KING 5 news team's Chris Daniels tapped on my shoulder and asked for some comments about the changing Hilltop neighborhood.  Here's the news piece of me on TV!

I am identified as a Hilltop Resident, and though officially I'm in the North Slope, I'm on Division, so I got a Four district corner. Hilltop, Sixth Ave, Wedge, and the N.Slope, so I'm not too concerned with titles. Tacoma is my neighborhood now.

I didn't snap a picture of the final art, Oh well...Gotta remember to take my camera!!!


NOTE: I was just informed that I won first prize! (I didn't even know it was a contest, so imagine my surprise! - The prize? A lesson (for me and a friend) in glass blowing at the Jason Lee Middle School hot shop down the street! Woo-Hoo...I decided to share the prize with the gentleman drawing next to me above. One Mr. James Stowe of the C.L.A.W.

Legs, Legs, Legs, Legs....
