Studio Birthday coming soon!!
I've gone through my old posts here on the ol' blog, and apparently I paid my first month's rent on NUTTALL ART STUDIO around April 3rd, meaning the 1 year anniversary is coming up!! I want to celebrate! I want to share (as I have since I opened)! So, On Saturday, April 16th, 2011 I will be having a ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY of NUTTALL ART STUDIO at 105 N.3rd St. Suite 1, located in Downtown West Branch, Michigan! I'll probably have some giveaways, some free food and what-not.
DON'T FORGET THE MAMAS!!!!
I know it's early, but I'm offering a Mothers' Day Special: 11x14 drawing or painting, up to 4 subjects, for only $60!!!! The regular price for a 4 subject 11x14 is $92. Offer expires ONE WEEK before Mothers' Day! If you want a larger portrait, we can work out a special.

I've taken a break from my Popeye series, but I'm going to get back to work on it. I just finished up the Wimpy charcoal drawing (seen here) and you can see the rest of the series HERE .

My take on Americana
After working on it for over a year, I think it's finally done!
What? Did you think I was gonna just SHOW you the finished piece here??

What's a guy gotta do?
SOOOOO..... know of any art galleries who'd be interested in displaying my work and NOT just want to take my money?
I've found that most galleries I've contacted either (A)want money to exhibit in their gallery (B) aren't looking for artists at the moment(C) they don't reply back or (D) don't feel my work would fit into their gallery.
These are the reasons I haven't pursued gallery shows in awhile. It becomes very discouraging. I've contacted galleries in Michigan and across the country, with no interested parties.

Paint It Black (or draw it black and white
Graphite drawing I was hired to do of Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones. I did a much smaller drawing than this of the same image for the same person when I was around 15 years old.
LIMITED time only!
So, just for giggles, I'm temporarily dropping the price of my SRV charcoal drawing from $494-$250. Interested, or know somebody who is? Contact me ASAP because I might only have the $250 price on it for a day or so...

What to hang?
I've been thinking again about being in galleries, I had (or have) a chance to have a solo exhibit at Kirtland Community College, but I started wondering about what would go in it? Should I put a mash-up of artwork,have a theme or exhibit one of my series', such as Jack Nicholson or Popeye? Or both? I could go with a personal hero theme. If the opportunity arises, what do you think my exhibit should have?

Aragones draws Nuttall!!
This is one of the highlights of my life! Ignore my talk about my nose, though. Nervousness and giddyness cause me to make stupid comments. This is my lifelong hero drawing...me! AND GROO! AND SERGIO!!

Comic Book Greats Sergio Aragones pt. 4
This is from a series that Stan Lee had done in the 1990s that I was unfortunately unaware of. It's just fantastic to me.
Sergio Aragones.m4v
I just found this short documentary from 1991 of The moustachioed Maestro Sergio Aragones`, speaking mainly about the comic book GROO THE WANDERER, then with Marvel Comics.

Slow news day
Barry Stutesman of Michigan Magazine Michigan Magazine visited the studio today and interviewed me and shot footage of the studio. I think it went pretty well. I'll keep you posted when it airs, where it airs and who knows, I might have a viewing party at the studio (there's plenty of food left over from my Customer Appreciation party, after all)

Ringing in the New Year
Well, with the new year, I thought I'd post the first drawing of 2011, the first completed painting of 2011 and the first project of 2011.
The John Wayne is a charcoal that's not quite done for a commission. It's 18x24. The Sammy Hagar oil painting is also 18x24 and is also a commission piece. The final is the first oil painting I've started this year. It's 20x30 (I think).
