WILCO IS THE MUSE OF THE MONTH





I AM OBSESSED WITH THE NEW WILCO RECORD, SKY BLUE SKY!

LAST ART OF SUMMER






WELL HERE IS THE LAST PAINTING OF THE SUMMER. MY PAINTS AND BRUSHES ARE IN BOXES NOW TO BE MOVED. I HAVE BEEN PAINTING LIKE CRAZY AS YOU CAN SEE ON MY BLOG. THIS PAINTING IS INSPIRED BY A LYRIC ON THE NEW WILCO ALBUM WHICH I AM CURRENTLY OBSESSED WITH. IT'S GOING TO BE A GIFT FOR A FRIEND OF MINE WHO IS TURNING 30... SSHHHH DONT SAY ANYTHING-IT'S A SURPRISE.

NOW I HAVE TO SWITCH GEARS AND ENJOY SOME DOWNTIME WITH THE FAMILY AND GET RELOCATED TO COLUMBIA, SC TO START A NEW TEACHING GIG AND SET UP A NEW STUDIO. I AM SO EXCITED FOR A CHANGE.

KEEP CHECKING IN ON THE BLOG AND SIGN UP ON MY EMAIL LIST AT WWW.ZOOVALDES.COM

HAVE A GOOD SUMMER!

WINNIE--THE MOVIE!

This is a 2 minute animated short made by myself and my buddy Justin Plakas about the angel/devil of a dog I have named Winnie. This piece was just accepted into the 2007 South Eastern College Art Conference Exhibition in Charleston, WV this October.
