Prisma Collaboration show at Distinction Gallery

This upcoming Saturday is the opening to the Prisma Artist Collective show: You and I, and the Worlds Between Us. Every piece in the show is a collaborative effort between two or more artists. The PRISMA Art Collective is an international group of 30 artists who I am proud to call my friends. This collective was formed by Kaspian Shore in effort to bring artists together and share our knowledge, thoughts on art, and just to simply be there for each other.

I teamed up with the wonderful Daria Hlazatova to produce two pieces for the show. Daria lives in the Ukraine and does wonderful drawings, ink pieces, collages and more. For this collaboration show we each started a piece and then swapped drawings for the other to finish in any way they wanted to. First up is this piece "Where the Fish Dance" that was started by Daria and I finished the piece in gouache and ink.

The second piece "Enchanted Forest" was started by me and finished by Daria in ink. I wanted to play off a similar theme with the castle and fish.

Meow Brow, Lil Bub, and Spoke Art

Tomorrow is the two-show opening of Meow Brow - New Work by Casey Weldon, AND Lil' Bub Art Show featuring a variety of artists depicting the darling Lil' Bub, cat sensation. Casey's work is stunning and I've been seeing hints of his feline paintings online and they look beautiful. This is a double show by Spoke Art and Bub herself will be there (you have to get tickets to meet her, much care has been taken to ensure her safety).

I did two pieces for the Lil' Bub half of the show. I have two cats of my own and I think I could draw cats everyday to my hearts content.
