Freakin Frog Las Vegas
The Freakin Frog is freakin cool. With nearly a thousand craft brews to choose from, I selected the Premium Bavaricum Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier Dark beer as my premium of the night – and it was absolutely delicious.

Fashion Clash
Tonight, they made for a fantastic evening of community-supporting community at the Fashion Clash Fashion Show showcasing wonderful Las Vegas designers. Artifice Art Bar in the Arts District was a packed house and clearly the place to be. Tonight’s contributions and gracious efforts went to benefit The Caring Place and Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation.

Nude Beauty Nude
Nudity in art has been debated since the beginning of time. After all, the unclothed human figure is an important genre in art, as it has been beautifully featured throughout history since ancient times.

Seven
Last week, I posted in my blog that it’s always fun to post art from the past. Over the last few days, I’ve added three large original paintings from 1993-94 and an illustration from 1988.

Michelangelo’s David
In many ways, 2012 has been a reflective year for me as an artist. I created a lot of new art in a variety of media, and that always excites me. But this year was epic for me in other ways, too.

Blast From The Past
As an art lover, you would agree that opening up archives of art is an experience that cannot be missed. Imagine going through artwork that has been hidden away for nearly a decade!

My Creative 2012
For many of us, this was a fun-filled and interesting year. Memorable for sure. I know it was for me. That may be why 2012 was (and still is) such a creative year. I started mine off creatively and am wrapping it up in like fashion. It’s all about art.
