Come see public art in progress as I join 12 other artists in painting a 250 foot mural under the tracks by the Heartland Cafe in historic Rogers Park.

We will be painting M-F during the day and mid-evening for 2 weeks beginning this Monday, August 9th.

The Mural is on Glenwood (west side of tracks)
starting at Greenleaf and ending at Lunt,
right by the Heartland.

For all of my California friends, be sure to check out my piece, as well as the finest aviation artworks in the world at:

I was thrilled to take part in the Zombie Apocalypse event, making a 4 hour action drawing, and meeting many friends along the way. Check the Cabaret Vagabond website for info on future events!

Friends and foes,

I will be making a live action painting throughout the night at "Cabaret Vs. Vagabond," a quasi period piece event featuring live music, poetry, film, dance, and art.

Come and watch the narrative and insanity unfold as a group of Chicagoans proudly proclaim "Das Ist Kunst!" (That is Art!)
