I couldn’t be more excited about this upcoming summer! Once again I’m fortunate enough to be traveling around the country to spread my art at concerts and music and arts festivals. I’ve been working really hard these last couple months getting paintings finished and prints ready to go, as well as working on the 10 poster line-up I have in store for the summer’s music festivities!

Check back next week for and final list of where i’ll be this summer live painting and with posters. Can’t wait to see all your smiling faces!

Now that summer has come to a close, I’ll be in the studio finishing up my live paintings from the summer festivals and shows including paintings from Wakarusa, Rootwire, and a Papadosio Colorado run. The originals will be for sale, as well as prints of all my newer and older pieces. I also still have most of my posters available. If you’re interested you can contact me or buy through my etsy shop. (linked on sidebar)

Getting ready for Rootwire Music and Arts Festival!!

Melissa — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 17:36:18 +0000

It’s that time again, Rootwire Music and Arts Festival is just around the corner!! This August 4th-7th the Papadosio family is bringing back the amazing Rootwire festival in Logan, Ohio for what is sure to be a weekend of good music, good people, and nothing but good vibes. I will be live painting each night of the festival as well as vending artwork (paintings, posters, and prints) from the “live-art” tent during the day. I have also created another poster this year (pictured left) that will be available for purchase at the tent. (I still have a few of last years as well that I will have with me in case you missed me last year) Plus! This year I was asked to make the official Rootwire Flag so keep an eye out for it hanging around the festival….My sincerest thank you to the entire Papadosio Family for making this all happen!!

WINTER CARNIVAL

Well, Cheese has left me speechless and seeing that writing is not my forte I will never be able to find the words to express the magical happening that was Winter Carnival. I feel so lucky to have been able to witness those three nights of amazing music and spectacular theatrics along with so many friends and beautiful people.

To anyone who would like to get a poster I still have a few left. Just send me an e-mail through the Contact page and we will make arrangements ~Much love to you all!

Great Run Papadosio

As always another great Colorado run by Papadosio. It is always such a pleasure to paint for these guys. Not only do they always throw down amazing and original songs and melodies, but they are all wonderful guys that I have grown to love and have the utmost respect for as artists. My sincerest thank you to Anthony, Billy, Mike , Rob, Andrew, Ed, and Jeremy. I look forward to seeing them all at Rootwire Music and Arts Festival this summer and creating together again.

What an amazing three night run for Good Gravy in November, opening for Hot Buttered Rum two nights and then following up with a great show in Lyons. I sincerely appreciate the opportunities these guys have provided me. Its been an absolute blast.

The image above is of the finished painting I did over the three night run. It sold but I have prints available if you are interested.
