Dreadful Marty
Acrylic on Wood  / Size: 8" x 10"

This piece will be on display in the Bear and Bird Gallery's "Monsters Under My Bed" group art show themed on childhood fears.  The show runs from October 2 through November 13, 2010.  Opening night is tomorrow, so if you're in the Miami area, go check it out!  It should be a great show.

Here are some Character Sketches for a self-portrait to be used for the Senior Show Poster.  I'm still deciding on which one I will use.  If you have a favorite, please leave a comment or send me a message.  I would love your opinions!
