I've never posted a video to my blog, but I thought I'd give it a shot. A week ago, I joined fellow quick-sketch artists Greg Dohlen and John Alex at the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda to draw caricatures for Edison High's prom. Great guys... so much fun to work with! Anyway, my first two "victims" of the night were documented by the videography of Sir Dohlen who put together this little video. (Thanks, Greg!!) It's kind of fun to see the squiggles all sped up...

Fun weekend.
Hi all! This is gonna be a great weekend...
I'm thrilled to be catching Back to Bacharach and David tonight at the Henry Fonda in Hollywood. My friend Steve Gunderson co-created the show with his longtime pal Kathy Najimy. And I'll be taking my first trip on the Metro Red Line which will take me from North Hollywood (and plentiful parking) to Hollywood and Vine which is just a hop from the theatre.
Also, I get to see one of my favorite bands twice this weekend. The Avett Brothers are ironically also playing the Henry Fonda (different space in the venue) tomorrow night, and they're at the Belly Up Tavern down south in Solana Beach on Sunday. They're always so amazing live, so I can't wait!
And between Avett shows, I'll be heading back to the ol' Welk Resort Theatre to see another Steve Gunderson show, Suds. This trip is due to friend Victor Hernandez going on in Steve's role since Steve is being all fancy and hanging with the actual Burt Bacharach at the show in Hollywood. I look forward to seeing the great gang at the Welk (and catching Stevie in the show at a later date).
And I'm so thrilled I get to visit with friends this weekend – Echo, Sista E, the Beavs, Victor, Amy, the Welk gang. I'm blessed to know such great folks.
That's all for now. Take care! Peace and love.

Monday sketch on Wednesday...
Hi all! So sorry I didn't post this here on Monday when I put it up on the art page, but here it is...
It's a really interesting thing when someone captures the eye and ear of millions of people. Popular phenomena is fascinating... striking a chord with folks who chat around water coolers, forward posts online, vote for a nationally televised contest, etc. In this sketch, I've featured the amazing Adam Lambert who is currently wowing the judges and fans on American Idol. It seems like yesterday when we were singing "Rock and Roll Party Queen" in Grease together. Now, with this amazing exposure, he is going to be able to write his own ticket. Congrats Adam! Also featured is Susan Boyle who pleasantly shocked folks on Britain's Got Talent with her lovely rendition of "I Dreamed A Dream." A friend who knows the show's music director says that they are currently trying to find her follow up song which has proved to be a daunting task. Lastly, we have Miranda. If you haven't witnessed the magic, go to YouTube and look up her channel, Miranda Sings, and start with "Free Voice Lesson." Musical theatre folks are going nuts over her, and she has just returned from NYC where she sang at numerous events including Easter Bonnet and Cast Party. You never know where the lightning will strike... what will grab our attention. Now, the thing to watch is where fame will take these folks. Best wishes to all!
Other than the art, I'm having a lovely time catching up with stuff at home, getting reacquainted with my roommate and the cats, and having a little more time to myself. I feel blessed to have some stage work lined up in the summer and some art jobs on the near horizon. I'll be heading to NYC in a couple weeks for a quickish trip which I'm really looking forward to. Things are good. I feel blessed. Take care, all! Peace and love.
