Open Studio - Checking in with Warren Craghead



You can see a little Q&A with me here - it's in this week's CVILLE (a local alt weekly).  I name check Apollinaire, Giotto and surfing.  Plus Ginger and Violet are in it (and we were drawing birthday cards for Annie!).  Here's a chunk:
What is your first artistic memory from childhood?
Both my parents were artists and both my grandmothers were artists, and so my first artistic memories involve my family. I remember drawing at the kitchen table with my dad and my brother, and my dad is showing us how to draw cartoons and other little things. I also really remember my grandmother’s basement. My dad’s mom painted with oil paints, and so her basement smelled like turpentine and linseed oil.

Black Cat Skate show



I didn't blog this yet... Last December I had a piece in the "Broken Boards" show at Black Cat Skateshop here in Charlottsville. Andy, the owner, gave out broken skate decks and a bunch of folks made some art with them. Here's mine:



and some details:







I took the deck, painted it with thick gloppy house paint and then drew on it (and taped some stuff too).

Violet made one too:



Yes, that's pink paint, glitter and a pipe cleaner. So punk rock. Here's hers on the wall:



and the proud artist at the opening (and no, she didn't get any of the PBR Andy had for the party):



Oh, and here's mine on the wall:



I'm sorry I didn't get any shots of Sean Samoheyl's great piece all made from cardboard! There were lots of good things in this show... It's funny - I don't ride this kind of skateboard anymore - I have a, Earthwing SuperGlider longboard and a Gravity Ben Wei mini, both for hills and hard carving - what my old pal Marc always called "landsurfing."

Pooping a Rainbow



Violet draws in the bath, so I drew a guy pooping a rainbow. That's Violet's Mom erasing our masterpieces...

Back from vacation

Surfed small rights, saw elephants, dug sandholes with a two-year-old. Here's what we did Friday and Saturday:




and some Violet art. More Violet art and a tiny plan of our hotel room:




and a handwritten tide chart, Low tide was just lovely for waves.
