It’s the last few days of #mARTchMadness & I’ve found a few framed canvas pieces that I left behind at my SLC studio. I’d like you to have a chance to get your hands on some of my framed limited edition canvas work so I’ll be listing them as the last auction pieces. They weren’t really part of the auctions, so the starting bids are higher, but still way less then the price I had’em listed at while the hung in the @OlBlueGNG gallery. So this is tonight’s offering. Auction link in stories & comments. Good luck! #beavisandbutthead #artbytai #artcanvas #strangerthingsart #strangerthings #demagorgon #mtv https://www.instagram.com/p/CqW9Nd8udeo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is today’s #mARTchMadness “Raw” series auction. It’s larger than the others. This one & tomorrow’s are 16x20. Also, in this photo you can see how I choose to usually hang them if you needed an idea for how to hang any that you’ve won. Binder clip. Works with the raw-theme. Good luck.

Quick lil marker doodle. Something I almost never do. & I returned to the banana phone again. That’ll happen from time to time, when I’m doodling, I’ll repeat a little something I had done during a past drawing exercise. That’s the purpose of the exercises…to keep my memory strong with how things look & to keep me freer from using reference images. References bog me down & hinder my raw imagination that started me down this path 30 something years ago. #doodle #markerdoodle (at Millcreek, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqN7WT5ujqu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The next 5 #mARTchMadness “raw” series pieces to be auctioned, which include both of these, are repeat images of prior auctioned pieces. I found these during our Spring-clean of the @olbluegng gallery. Then the month closes out with some larger pieces, including some that are framed. The frames ones will have a much higher starting bid, as they weren’t ever intended to be part of the mARTchMadness offerings. Okay. You know the drill. These 2 pieces are up now with no bids yet.
