I Grew it Myself

In 1987, I meet my wife with what I thought was the best pick-up line ever. Unfortunately, it was based on a lie (which she immediately discerned), and it took me over 28 years to make good on that line. Watch how I redeem myself in this instructional video.

News Flash

I will be launching my first online workshop on October 12, 2015. It is called the Art of the Selfie. In this class we will create six self-portraits (A.K.A. “selfies”) to tell different parts of our personal stories. We will use a variety of mixed-media techniques on 12 x 12 wood panels to create self-reflective art that is richer and more lasting than a quickly snapped picture from a mobile device. For a limited time, I will be offering a special introductory price (50% off the regular price) especially for the Donna Downey community. Click below to find out more.

Brian, I love how you told the story behind the tomato art! It inspires me to make something that would be meaningful about when I met Scott. And I love the sewing touch too. Great video
