My friends in Five Way Friday are celebrating their 10 year anniversary as a band, although they are all yuppies now...,. well except Mac, but they still can rock the house. They are playing a show at the Windjammer this month. I hope to be there.

FRIENDS OF VALDES CREATIVE

Here are some great pictures from my friend and photog extra-ordinaire Ian Curcio (iancurcio.com). He shot these for LINK magazine. The group shot is a bunch of good folks of young professionals from Spartanburg and the other is my friend and amazing printmaker Andrew Blanchard. He needs a website. Andrew picked up one of my pieces at the Hub Bub BYOA Art Show this past weekend.

ARMY OF SNOOPY


Every year CVS (the drugstore) sells these great little toys of Snoopy and the Peanuts gang at Halloween. I have decided that I must create an army of Snoopy's because I love them and they make me happy. I figure the more the merrier.

REDNOSES





When I paint commissions for others, I usually paint smaller pieces on the side so I don't waste paint. Here are some of those extra paintings.
