Its now “official” that Heather and I are moving our studio and kids to Pittsburgh at the end of August, and I’ve been so busy with projects that I haven’t posted as much in the way of updates as its happened--> so much so fast!>

I’ve been working on a slew of new websites for my marketing clients as well, while trying to keep up with my wife Heather’s jewelry design work because she’s been doing a lot of work in the run-up to the move, too.

At any rate this month I’m working on my final mural and faux painting project in San Diego (for the forseeable future anyway- I will be back for other business from time to time, so I suppose its not out of the question to arrange something) at my friends Cafe Mundo around the corner here in Banker’s Hill, and this morning I started the exterior mural part of the project and had part 1 of an art studio moving sale over coffee all at the same-- thanks to everyone who came out, I’ll be doing the same next Saturday with even more art making stuff sorted out to be sold cheap or given away.

I still have some good tools for sale, and a variety of picture frames, stretcher bars for canvas, and painting panels.

Cafe Mundo is a simple little neighborhood coffee shop-- we’re just putting a little polish on the details and creating an exterior “landmark” while they are partially closed for a kitchen upgrade to their pizza making component.

The “landmark” is a 16′ x 8′ mural on four panels designed around local Banker’s Hill imagery given a light Parisian art nouveau twist derived from the Cafe’s adopted icon-- both images shown below. (Pics tomorrow!)
