The power of Terry compels you

As you've seen on our Facebook page, it's that time of year again.  Ingenuity Fest in Cleveland, Ohio!  We will be doing our 30th and LARGEST mural we've ever attempted and our friends at Voix de Ville will be pitching the biggest little show in town all next weekend!!!  

I'm one of the featured artists for the Voix de Ville tent.  Last year I created their logo as well as giant billboards that go outside the tent.  For this year's festivities I created this little diddy.  

This little character is Terry the Tinkle toad, he shows up occasionally at the performances, stirs up mischief as well as the audience for the next show.  The drawing is all brushed ink and once it was done I paired it with a photo I took of the back of a rusty sign and it seemed to fit.

 SO!  Come on down to the Port of Cleveland next weekend and partake in an amazing event!

Little bit of everything

Voice of the City

Hello, my name is Craig and I like hand rendered type.  

Thought it was high time that I actually fess up to it after years and years of protest I have done far too many hand rendered text pieces in my career to say that I don't like it.  Like this one for The Voix de Ville pop up theater and cabaret.  What's this, you may ask. I like to describe it as The Muppet Show, Laugh In and Carol Burnett Show, Cirq du Sole, The Tiger Lillies, all things Vaudville,  all combined into this tiny tent that can show up almost anywhere and POW, entertainment!  Started by a couple of friends of mine, Jason and Danielle, aka Pinch and Squeal (yet another piece of hand rendered text)

and it's going to be debuting at this years' Ingenuity Fest in Cleveland Ohio.  There's a TON of stuff this wonderful, little project could use some help with and that's where you come in (if you are so inclined)!  We've started a kickstarter to raise money for stage equipment (including a stage), paying the performers AND a bunch of new art done by ME!!!  Check it out HERE:

The Voix-de-Ville: A pop-up theater and cabaret 

Thanks for checking out the work and thanks for your support.  And don't forget, when you come to Ingenuity the RBMC will also be there slinging some paint, doing LIVE ART all weekend.  Come by and say hi!
