In the meantime though, while you’re eagerly awaiting another blog post from me you can stay even more up to date with everything on my Nathan Monk Art Facebook page. A [...]

It won’t hang on the wall, instead it will be stomped on by Joey while he masterfully plays his violin.

What a night! If you weren’t able to make it out to the show last Friday, that’s alright. I figured it would be neat to create a little time lapse video of the installation so you could get a ‘behind the scenes’ look at how it all came together. The installation took about 8 hours [...]

Well, I think last week was the last Free Work Wednesday I’m going to do for a while. The week goes by too fast and the past couple weeks I’ve been running behind on creating a piece. 16 weeks in a row, one piece each week….my creativity is low and I don’t want to force [...]
