Painting In Dupont

swmoore — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 18:49:24 +0000

I’ve been working on a painting in Dupont Circle, (Washington, DC) on and off for the past year (weather permitting). I’m hoping that I can finish the painting as early as possible within the next couple months.

Dupont is one of my favorite parts of DC, so I absolutely do not mind spending an entire day there every week. After the sun goes down, the lamp posts with varied light spectrums scattered around under the trees creates a very unique atmosphere. There’s generally a nice, and for the most part friendly feel around Dupont. Certainly not a dull place; Jamie and I once witnessed a homeless man bathing in the fountain while yelling, “Thanks for paying the water bill!”

Fruits and Vegetables!

A few years back, when I lived in West Virginia, and had plenty of free time to let my mind and creativity wander (sometimes in really weird directions), I thought it would be hilarious to make a comic about fruits and vegetables. I’ve noticed that after it became somewhat internet famous (I’m estimating around half a million or so views), that various other comics based on fruits and vegetables started popping up (on the intrawebs). I have no idea if that was my doing or not, but sometimes I like to say it was!

If you liked this, you should definitely check these out!

Ultimate MS Paint

Quite awhile back I spent a huge deal of time drawing this thing pretty much pixel by pixel. Hooray for pop culture references! Obviously I wasn’t planning on making any money from it. Be warned, it’s kind of long (10,000px).

Ahhh, WordPress!

Hello! I have decided to move forward in the world wide webs, and acquire a wordpress based website. Why would I do this, you ask? Because wordpress is fantastic, interactive, and easier to update! (Speaking of which, things will probably be tweaked here and there in the near future, so don’t be alarmed if some random scary image pops up while you’re browsing.)

That, and I realized that in this world of facebook, comments, and interactive websites, even I personally do not frequently revisit pages that do not allow you to interact. The reason for this? Interacting is great, and things that are unchanging do not tend to hold much interest (see: my old website).

What this means, is that I am going to update regularly. Even, frequently! So not only will it be incredibly easy to keep track of what I am doing (artistically – I would rather not bore you with what I ate today, as fantastic as it was), but I will probably let it be known if I happen upon anyone elses’ artwork that I find to be particularly amazing.

And hey, who knows what else!
