There are a lot of new things happening around these parts.
First off, I started teaching part time at UNF (University of North Florida) again. This semester I am teaching Figurative Painting. It’s going alright so far and I am adjusting to doing more demos. Currently students are doing self-portrait paintings that I look forward to seeing. Here’s a quick demo of my self-portrait that I gave on Wednesday. I’ll probably finish it in class over the next week or two.
Second, I’m also starting a new part time gig teaching adults with autism at the Rainbow Center, part of L’Arche (an adult autism care facility). I’ll be teaching ceramics and very much look forward to working these amazing humans!
Third, I’m still teaching private lessons. This semester I’m teaching Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 4-5:30. If you know anybody in Jacksonville, Florida looking for art lessons on Fridays, send them my way.
Fourth, this weekend I finished a new comic titled Under Deaden Days. It’s an 8-page weirdo western poetry comic. Feel free to download and read at your leisure. I may do a few tweaks, but this is something I plan to do more of: mixing comics and poetry.
Fifth, I just got a proposal approved for a large project. That means a couple of things.
For the rest of January and probably most of February, I will be spending a lot of time researching, writing and doing some preliminary sketching for a large sequential art project. I have a deadline in the middle of the summer. Can’t give too many details, but I will be sharing some process stuff along the way here. If you’d like to get updates from me, this is where they will most likely be posted. Because of my tight deadline, I won’t be engaging too much on social media over the next several months.
