I received this great photograph from a friend who had such wonderful ideas for her Sharpie Art Converse All Stars. It’s been two years since we made them and they still look great. They even made it to Paris this Fall. I’m so jealous!!
The post of of how they were made is my most popular viewed article. Check it out here.
Three artists sit down with bright white Converse All Star High Tops, a slug of Sharpie markers and good conversation. Like women of the past, we sat and conversed, worked on a common project, exchanged ideas, learned from each other and filled an evening with art. I’ve never participated in a quilting bee, but I think this is what it feels like.
Thank you to our hostess for opening up her home and preparing yummy corn chowder, quesadillas and wine.
This could be habit forming!!

The Nevada Museum of Art offered a class titled “Designing for the Entertainment Industry” which is an eight week course introducing the skills to create concept art. Todd White, the instructor, is a local artist with experience in car design, product design, theme park design, game design, storyboard, architectural rendering….and has clients such a Disney. He is a graduate of Art Center College of Design , Pasadena, CA. This was an opportunity not to be missed.
The first assignment is to create silhouettes with a large black marker as quickly and and many as we can. Select three of these silhouetttes to expand their character. I selected these three, a kid, a beast and a woman. Not sure yet what they will reveal, but I’m sure they will carve themselves out of my imagination.
