The original painting was sold to one of my awesome collectors, but I’m working on making it print ready now. I think I shall make a new iphone case for myself with it!

In other news, my first First Friday was really fun! So nice to meet other artists there and other art enthusiasts and general local people having a good time. First Friday in Las Vegas is quite fun, and with the new acquision I am extremely positive that it will continue to get larger, more fun and infinitely awesomer over the months.

Last Night’s Illuminare Show!

Just recovering from all the excitement from the last few weeks of preparation, painting, etc. which all culminated in last night’s awesome show sponsored by RAW. For those of you who came, you know how much fun last night was, and thank you ALL for your continued support. For those who couldn’t make it, it was a TOTAL BLAST!

I haven’t even had a chance to post all the individual photos of my pieces etc., and I will do that first chance I get. For now, here’s a link from my artist friend, Michele Ross, who came through to show her support and took a bunch of pics! Love you, Michele!

SOLD, originally uploaded by i am drexel.

This is the awesome new home of one of my favorite paintings of NYC called “Still Hangin’ On” inspired by the struggle between Coney Island lovers, dwellers and staff and the developers who want to tear it all down and build condos.
