BZTAT and Brewskie Butt Road Show

"Brew on the Beach"

Brewskie Butt and I are going to make a road trip to Cleveland this Friday for the Third Friday arts event at the 78th Street Studios. Well, OK, the Brew himself is not going, but his image on various artworks will be.

We have First Fridays here in Canton, and in Cleveland, they have Third Fridays. The 78th Street Studios rent out temporary space for the monthly event, so the Creative Ohio Gallery (for which I am the Director) are going to make a visit this month. If it works well, we just might make it a regular thing!

You will also be able to see artworks by Creative Ohio artists Russ Hench, Laurie Grace Fife-Harbert, Sylvia Shanahan, and others.

Follow my tweets to get live updates on the event, or better yet, come visit me on Friday!

Here are the deets:

5pm – 10pm

May Mini – Peter Cottontail

"Peter Cottontail" Drawing by BZTAT

When I was a child living in the rural outskirts of Kansas City, MO, we once rescued a nest of baby rabbits. I do not recall what happened to the mother rabbit. I do recall my mother feeding the babies with an eye dropper. Only one survived. Of course we called him Peter Cottontail. We released him back to the wild when he was old enough, and thereafter, we screamed with glee each time we saw a rabbit, “There’s Peter Cottontail!!!”

This a smaller drawing than I usually draw. It is approximately 3″ x 5″ and matted for a 5″ x 7″ frame. I decided for the month of May, I am going to draw some miniature drawings and post them for auction.

Here are more details about today’s drawing:

May Mini – A Doxie Kind of Day

"A Doxie Kind of Day" drawing by BZTAT

I grew up with dachshunds, and despite their shrill bark that can be annoying, there is something very wonderful about these creatures. They are fun to draw, as they have such a unique shape and character. Days where you feel like being unique and fun are certainly doxie kind of days!
