Good Girl - Bad Girl

I am really interested in how words and images can make us feel great, or not so great. What little things can make us feel better when we feel bad. Please let me know what images and words that make you feel GREAT!

ART TO ABOLISH CHILD-SEX-TRAFFICKING AND EXPLOITATION

New York, NY -- Love146 is pleased to announce a special benefit, organized by independent curator, Bonnie Kate. For this one-day event, donated works of art will be on view in the heart of the Arts District (across the street from the Chelsea Piers). Works will vary from illustrative to photographic and multimedia--appealing to a variety of tastes, with a common theme of youthful hope.

The burden of social awareness is frequently carried by creative communities. When the creative is coupled with the proper resources and supported by the philanthropic it makes tremendous progress possible. This relationship has been responsible for many amazing successes, such as Damien Hirst's work with the Global Fund, to the Bensen Gallery in Arlington Heights, outside Chicago.

Love146, under its former alias, "Justice for Children International", was acknowledged as G.Q.'s 2007 Non-Profit of the year. Moving into the next phase, the organization has been motivated to target the socially conscious of Manhattan and the respected community of the arts. Information highlighting the organization's efforts--which specializes in aftercare counseling for children who have been rescued from child sex trafficking and exploitation --is available on the website: http://love146.org/. Based in New Haven, CT, this will be Love146's first New York City event.

Please join us for this opportunity to give and gain awareness as we auction works of art that have been generously donated by New York and Los Angeles artists.

Founded in 2002 (as Justice for Children Intl.), Love146 is a

Coloring Book for 3rd grade class




Favorites from a grab bag




These are just a couple fun ones that I picked out of the stack.

Watercolours






These are some water colors that I did this year. I am just developing some technique and style for further projects.

GPF - 1st



These are 2 of the original illustrations for my 2004 coloring book. 2004 was a long time ago and I want to get cracking and make some more fun stuff! I will be adding more recent images and welcome feedback!

In these images you see an unnamed character whose identity is not revealed in the book (because it has no text) but her real name is Barmadukina - a mixture of a more feminine version of the name Marmaduke, and of course it needed to start with the letter "B".

This coloring book was dedicated to my Father for the "Bonnie the monkey" stories he told me when I was a kid.

welcome to good pure fun

This is an experiment to translate my imaginary world to the interweb. Lets see how it goes!
