It had been almost a MONTH since I have posted here.
Those of you who follow me on Facebook and INSTAGRAM know why.
And hey.....why aren't YOU following me on Instagram?
I'm hella interesting! (See - I am using young people speak!!!)
Anyways, THIS is what I have been up to....

It is a HUGE mural project that I have been painting with (and for) Cindy Scaife (her design!). The big underpass was commissioned by the City of Toronto and the stART Program. Which is AWESOME.
So gallons and gallons of paint, and a month later...we are DONE!!! I was really happy with the final look....and so was Cindy. I am super grateful that I have such a talented friend that would trust me to paint with her!
I will post photos and a video of the whole mural SOON!

You also missed me putting up my work at The Pearl Diver restaurant:

YES....it does look amazing!
​Go down until the end of December to see this work in person!!
Go for the oysters, stay for the art!
The Pearl Diver is at 100 Adelaide St E, Toronto!

You also missed me announcing all the info for my upcoming showing at the One of A Kind Christmas Show. But I will dave those deets for another post NEXT WEEK!

I also have a new retailer (I will talk about that next week too) and I am going to be installing some work in a coffee shop!
​(Details also next week!)

AAAAND....
​
I will be doing the last Kensington Market Art Fair this Sunday October 30th from 12pm-7pm.

Space Cowgirl, 24" x 36" - this is taken from an older work and I have reworked the composition a bit. I then spent a BUNCH of time repainting the colours and adding some fun additions! 
This is available for $550 (plus HST)

Transition, 24" x 24", $365 (plus HST) I accidentally ordered the WRONG size, I meant to order the 36" x 36" (which is also available -- you can special order it from me) But it is pretty nice in this size too!

FINALLY I have:

Decaying Slipper, 40" x 30" - $575 (plus HST) This is a photo reproduction of a piece that hangs in my house. I love it, and thought it would be a great one to share with you guys. Never shown, this one is a real gem!

So there you go!
I hope you can make it for the last KMAF of the season!

Okay.....week 2 in the new studio....staring off with a bang...well....not really.
TODAY, while I should be celebrating "Laugh and Get Rich Day", "Clean Out Your Computer Day", "Opera Day" or "Kite Flying Day" - I am instead working on a mural.
YES!
Mural Monday! (FYI "Mural Monday" not a real holiday - like the other "holidays" I listed)
I know what you are thinking.....
"Rob, you still do mural work??"
And the truth is, YES, from time to time, I do a little mural work.
UPDATE: here is the progress on the mural that I have been working on with Cindy Scaife....

(You can see more of cindys work at www.cindyscaife.com !)
If you haven't seen any of my mural work....
You suck. JUST KIDDING.....
You could take a look HERE to see some highlights of my mural working life........but I thought I would post a couple that ARE NOT on my site......

So there you go! Mural-paloooza! Now let's hope this week's work is JUST AS ELABORATE!!! 
AAAAANNNDD.....if you are ever looking to get an amazing mural done - hire a PROFESSIONAL.....with a lot of experience....believe me.....it makes all the difference in the world!!!
HAPPY MONDAY......off to fly a kite!!
