Living the Dream

My photo
I grew up at "the end of the road" in the very small size woodsy town called Ely in way northern Minnesota (5hrs north of Minneapolis) and quickly got out ;) Went to MCAE art school for 11th and 12th grade in Minneapolis. After that I just journeyed around a bunch!, a bunch a bunch! from Arizona to Colorado, from Seattle to San Francisco and every where around them, with of course the adventure to Europe and traveling all over from Spain to Amsterdam judging the Cannabis Cup to skiing down the Swiss Alps, seeing the Dali museum and sitting at Jim Morrison's grave. I now live in Seattle with friends and family spread out all over, I love to paint and to pay the bills I've worked lots of jobs but I'm good with people so restaurant work has made for a good fit. Plus with the whole jump up and go traveling thing. What else, what else... I don't know there's tons, look for the book. And Hey! Please comment (remember you need to follow me to comment) and I'm still painting so there's often new stuff, I'd love to have you as a follower and hear your comments, or as known on my page a dream makers :)
The Pickle Man
9" by 12"
Acrylic on Canvas

Long ago I was a pickleman at the Minnesota
renaissance festival with my dear friend David. (best job ever by the way)
 He really imbraced the whole pickle thing and to this day really
loves pickles. Well for the last 15 years or so he's been asking me to draw him
up a tattoo, but wasn't sure what he wanted. Through the years he's
mentioned tribal pickle, and a couple other idea's all relating
somewhat to pickles.
 Finally a couple months ago he comes to me with this for sure
idea of what he wants. "I want a pickle mixed with the look as the
guy on the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy book."

    What is the pickle's philosophy of life?
    Never a dill moment.

    GREAT WORK
