First Friday 6 June 08 Chinatown Courtyard Honolulu Hawaii

2008-06-08T23:04:00.003-10:00

I'm throwing in some pics of my night before madness in the house trying to get my load chosen and organized, it's pretty stressful and it all happens so fast once the wheels are in motion.

Another really fun First Friday. Thanks to Jo Dee who runs the Chinatown Courtyard! I tried a new set up and it worked out fantastic. The traffic was slower than normal with a big block party going on in Waikiki. That aside sales were good and some new folks have Schrocat orignals and some others have prints :-)

There are a few pics of the night before organization and set up that was a bear, mostly on me because I like to bring allot of work and see what people are interested in.

LOL I can look forward to blindness in the coming weeks.

Schrocat's Art at Chinatown Courtyard Honolulu First Friday 7 Mar 08

2008-03-12T07:35:00.008-10:00

Everyone,

I wish I had picture of the incredible crowds that were present throughout the evening, but all of the pictures that I have are from the set up but it gives an idea of the space and the look of my pieces on the beautiful red brick walls at the Courtyard. I want to thank JoDee for having me at her incredible venue. She features at least one "up and coming artist" at the Courtyard, an opportunity probably not available to someone in my position. So please come down next First Friday and support her efforts.

The Courtyard is a gem in Chinatown, it's a wonderful open courtyard and garden between historical buildings with a ton of character. It has the wonderful Star Cafe serving up scrumptious food and drink. The crowd of nearly 1,000 people was extremely diverse, upbeat and interested in checking out the art, speaking to the artists. While the scheduled hours for the event were 5pm to 9pm, it was difficult to break free and pack up at 11pm :-) I didn't mind at all.

The Honolulu First Friday website is run by Ernest Abrams and can be viewed here http://www.firstfridayhawaii.com/

I was blessed with the sale of three of my paintings, and hope that the exposure continues to spread the word about my vision and creations. I look forward to more shows and hopefully I will talk to you about your thoughts on my work.

with aloha,

Todd

Iraq part 1 Where I found my inspiration (Spring 2003)

2008-02-24T21:27:00.006-10:00

Well at least the large scale art and full color pieces. I was on deployment to Iraq just as the city fell in 2003, we moved around a bit and finally settled into our little area. Myself and my guys scored a former servants hut, it was ok, all the wall fixtures, toilets, sinks etc where ripped out by looters prior to our arrival. It worked well enough for us and it had nice clean white walls.

My wife sent me several hundred permanent markers and highlighters. I used all of the free time I had to make my geometric designs. Creating art really allowed me to square my mind away for the important work I had to do. My guys were very successful and all of them came home alive.

The inspiration that I was blessed with on that deployment stuck with me and finally in the spring of 2007, I found new ways to translate the inspiration and visions that I was having using new mediums for me paint, first acrylics, then oils and now a combination of the two. My techniques are getting tighter, and my focus remains on getting the visions in my head on to the canvas.

I'm going to include some pictures of me in Iraq and the house we lived in, it will be in the next two posts.

Black Heart Red Beats

2008-02-20T18:48:00.002-10:00

12" X 12" 3D Acrylic on stretched canvas. I wanted to try a contrast with the red against the overwhelming black while retaining a strong connection to the theme.

Crosstown Traffic

2008-02-20T08:22:00.002-10:00

All, 12" X 18" Acrylic on stretched canvas. After a brief discussion with Kelly I decided to create a 3D piece that works in some harmonizing colors. I chose this style as I was sitting in morning Honolulu commute. For those of you who have experienced the H1-H2 or the Middle Street Merges, you may feel my inspiration. I hope you all enjoy it. I threw in some oblique shots as well, I think they give you some more facets of the personality of the paint.

Aloha,

Todd

Out of the Darkness

2008-02-19T13:33:00.004-10:00

12" X 12" 3D Acrylic on stretched Canvas. Laura get's the credit for the idea, she mentioned coming up with a 3D piece that looks like branding (the new tattoo), kind of a raised skin effect. So I took that and went to work, this is what I came up with. It is exactly what I had envisioned. It kind of looks like welding beads.

Phoenix

2008-02-19T13:11:00.005-10:00

Hey Everyone, I'm sitting at home today suffering through one of the worst flu's I've ever had, so I am on the computer trying to spin the clock faster so I can feel better. This is my latest, it's among a couple, which I should send out today as well. It's 18" X 24" 3D Acrylic on stretched canvas. I shot a couple of oblique angles to give you an idea of what else is going on with it.

Aloha,

Todd

Twisted Fate

2008-02-14T02:13:00.002-10:00

15" X 60" Oil and Acrylic on stretched canvas, with some 3D paint work. The foundation of this one is the Tree of Fate in the center flanked on either side by trees twisting as they grow out of the heavens with an unseen force pulling them off the canvas in opposite directions. Twisting and swirling energy abounds all over this piece.

Aloha,

Todd
