Bring black & white acrylic paint, brushes, and something to paint on. I’ve got extra materials if anyone needs. $20 per session. Be prepared…

Des Moines Social Club mural mock-up
Here’s a quick, little pastel mock-up from last Monday’s studio cram session. It’s off-scale from the actual wall, but it’ll give me something to go on. It’s been a long time since I worked this large… and I can’t wait to get started. Cheers, R

Fitch Open House – The Aftermath
Just wanted to post a quick note to say a huge THANK YOU!! to everyone who came out to the open studio event last Friday. It was all in all a great success. A ton of people through the doors. Studio 405 was rocking steady most of the evening. I barely got a chance to…

Dusty Little Things
As I posted last week there’s a big event coming. My studio building’s annual open house. That means I’ve got a lot of stuff in the works. There will be repeated trips to the hardware store; repeated trips up and down the four flights of stairs (good for leg-day); long periods of me standing in…

BBoys Take Manhattan
Just a quick post to present the latest commissioned piece, “BBoys Take Manhattan”. It was a lot of fun. I’m still really getting a handle on how to manage acrylics. I approached this one with a more illustrative intent than I would normally use for studio work, but I tend to fret about doing portrait…

Works in Progress
Seems like I’ve been busier than ever these days. I wrapped up some studio work and have been plugging away at this Beastie Boys painting (progress image included below). I thought I’d have a chance to build up some more work for display, but I’m happy to announce that the requests for commissioned work just…

Here Comes the Sun
Considering this is a post about two paintings of Sun Studios in Memphis that I’m working on it’s an awful pun, but it’s late. I’ve cleaned up raw sewage today. A pretty fair amount really. It was 100 degrees at band practice tonight. My knees were pitting out. My knees. I’m out of clever lines.…

Prints, Anyone?
A short note to let you know about some of the great Iowa artists with reproductions and originals available on http://www.FineArtAmerica.com. Some of them are people that I know. Some are unknown to me, but either way I hold the greatest respect for them for having the courage to put the fruits of their labors…
