The Transpire Project is now ArtVoxLive

Why? Cause nobody knows what the Transpire Project is. Transpire is “to bring to light, to make known” which is what the process of making art is…. and Project… well, that was just whatever it turned out to be when I started doing live art years ago. It’s turned out to be a livelihood… and it needs a better name.

ArtVoxLive is the new name for what I do in live settings. “Art” – well, it’s art. “Vox” is latin for voice. I’ve often described the process of watching art being made as a kind of conversation.  As you are trying to figure out what the painting is going to be, you start asking questions, pondering images…. and this usually leads into some kind of conversation that makes the art personal. Vox also stands for the conversation I’m having with the Great Muse. “What do we need to see in this setting?” “How can I best depict what’s going on?” The images, in another way, are my visual conversations as well. And Live… well this is all done live in front of others.

There you go – ArtVoxLive.

So I hope you enjoy the new site.

I’ll be posting all my latest work and endeavors in live painting and all other projects that involve the arts here on this site. If you’d like to receive updates via email, please click the link below to get on that list

Going’s Ons

“Free Fall” by Prolifik Films

My friends Dave Schwarz and Nick Jones of Prolifik Films asked myself and Sharon Irving to join them on a project to creatively interpret Genesis 3. We filmed this about a month ago and now you can view the fruit of our labors……

Orphan Art Project

Well… I think Holly and I have reached our fund raising goals! So now it’s just learning a lot about filming, traveling with art supplies, and so much more. I covet your prayers and any other ways you think you would like to be a part of all this. More to come……

Thanks to all of you who have been supportive of this journey I’ve been on for years. It’s great to see the fruits of diligence.

As always, make space for art.

Hey everyone. Been traveling a bit and have been able to work with some wonderful people. Been making some good art out of it all so I’d thought I’d share some pics with you. All these paintings are 3ftx4ft acrylic paintings created within an hour in front of an audience…..

ORPHAN ART PROJECT

I’m putting into play a project I’ve been pondering about for awhile. I’m going to Liberia and Swaziland this summer and I plan on doing art projects with orphans which will then be made into products that will raise money for orphanages over there. It’s a huge project and if you’d like to know more please click – orphanartproject

Thanks for caring!

Hey ya’ll. I’m getting used to Texan speak and “ya’ll” is a pretty common descriptor. So enjoy. I finally feel like I’m at a place where I can take a little breather so I thought I’d post some pics and play a little catch up.

Above is a pic of me painting at a Haiti benefit concert with Derek Webb at Taft St Coffee. A really great non-profit in town called I Am Change put on the show and I offered my services to the whole event. It was great working with Derek again and the paintings raised some good money for a good cause.

URBANA09

Let’s back up a bit and talk about Urbana09.

At the end of December I worked with WorldVision ACT:S in producing an interactive art station that dealt with creative advocacy. Everyday, attendees had the opportunity to be a part of creating an art piece that corresponded with the themes of that day and also in response to what they had witnessed as they went through WorldVision ACT:S booth. It was an awesome time. The art pieces turned out great. And I met some fantastic people. I’m working on a video currently and will have that posted in due time…..

Live Paintings at Youth Conferences…..

I did a couple gigs with students in Tennessee and West Texas. Here’s some images from that…..

Saints of LOST Opening At Xnihilo Gallery, Houston, TX

Even though the show was up for two weeks, we still had an opening for the Saints of LOST show in Xnihilo Gallery at Taft on the 30th. We decided this night cause the season premiere of season 6 of LOST is on tuesday…. so we wanted to build on the hype as much as we could. In order to sweeten the pot a little bit, i decided to make a new painting for the show. This one is about Charlie… and it turned out awesome. A better picture will be uploaded sometime…. but here it is….

It’s 5ftx4ft, acrylic on canvas. the title is still undecided.

It was a great night. We had a lot of people show up. It was pretty steady for 3 hours…. and i found myself talking to people non-stop throughout the evening. That’s about it. Go lost!

okay… this post is long enough. lots still coming up. i’ll try to post more often.

make space for art
