Hey Everyone out in Cyberland, I have all of my various pieces at the QB Gallery on Front St. and had a great time so far for the continuing month of October. I’ve been getting some great media coverage for the show and hope you have had the chance to read the articles.  If not I have them listed for you here!

Here is the article from the Thorold News. And here is the article from the Welland Tribune.

I am very excited about the Canal Bank Shuffle Blues Festival that is going to be coming up this weekend starting Thursday October 20 – Saturday October 22!  I currently am working on a few pieces for the Blues Festival over at the Gallery right now including Stevie Ray Vaughan, but I have also been working on RUSH and John Lennon.

Thanks to all who have come out to support me and critique my work – it is very appreciated and I hope some of you will be interested in buying because I do have a few up for sale.  There may be more bigger pieces coming – we’ll see.

In the meantime I am crazy excited about having Improv nights on Wednesdays @ 8pm or come by on Saturday morning @10am for some Saturday Morning Cartooning at the QB Gallery.  Come have fun and learn a little bit at the same time!

There will be something special going on for Halloween with the ‘Haunted Gallery’ and you can come dressed up as your favorite rock star too if you want to as well (dead or alive).  It’s always a fun time at the QB Gallery!  Come say HELLO!
