Had a great time in Scottsdale, AZ recently on a fun 3D street painting. Here is the final piece! And to top it off, My brother Cory was finally able to see me in action for the first time! He is in the pic as well!  More info on the piece here

Couple of adventures to come

Well, spring is here and I am itching to get out and do some fun street painting. Coming up in the next couple of weeks I will be off on two different street paintings. The first one will be in Scottsdale Arizona the beginning of May and the other one will be at Artisphere in Greenville, SC the middle of May. Stay tuned for some images to come!

Thanks to you 2010!

Well, I guess it has come down to tonight and tomorrow for the last hurrah for 2010. I have to say that I have been very blessed this year with wonderful work both in the illustration field and also the street painting. I know I have kind of slipped on the blogging lately, but am hoping to make a new fresh start of it in the new year! So with that, I hope everyone has a magnificent start to 2011 and look forward to what the new year has to offer!

Sarasota International Chalk Festival

Art For After Hours Final Street Painting "Skullduggary"
by Artists Shawn McCann, Anthony Cappetto, and Michael Macaulay

Its hard to believe that it has been a week since I was enjoying the beautiful weather and friendly atmosphere of the Sarasota International Chalk Festival. Having been my first time to a major chalk festival, it was a bit overwhelming to have so many street painters all in one location. I wish I had had more time to visit and watch so many talented people work, but we had our own street painting to create and so was kept quite busy with our huge 20' x 45' street painting. With the help of fellow Art for After Hours street painters Anthony Cappetto and Michael Macaulay, we worked over the course of 4 days to create a halloween themed "skullduggery" that was both intense and delightful to the visitors. Along with our piece, there were a total of 2 other exhibition pieces (large group paintings) and over 250 individual pieces. The following images are just a taste of what so many talended and amazing artists brought to the streets of Sarasota, Florida! Also there is special thanks that must be given to Denise Kowal for all of her hard work and dedication to make this years chalk festival such a huge success!

Couple of past events!

I know I haven't been the most keen on keeping up with the blogs lately, but hopefully will keep them up to date a little bit better upcoming. So, if you have been wondering what has been going on lately, here is a sneek peek of some of the past events that I have been fortunate to be apart of! The first image is from the 3D Street painting I did at Deluxe Corporation in late July. It was for their Social Media event and was a blast! The other two images are from the 3D street painting I did at Bismarck's Capital A'Fair in August. The weather was hot, but everyone there made it another wonderful event! Hope you like the shots!

Taste of Minnesota Street Painting

Sorry it has taken so long, but am finally getting around to posting images from the July 4th weekend Street painting at the Taste of Minnesota. It was another great event and am looking forward to more fun events upcoming!

Artisphere International Arts Festival

Well another amazing street painting adventure has come and gone. My time in Greenville, South Carolina for the Artisphere International Arts Festival was a blast! The people down there couldn't have been nicer and the weather was amazing as well. Over the course of the three days, I transformed the sidewalk into a recreation of the famous George Seurat painting "Sunday Afternoon on the island of La Grande Jatte". And it was also my first official street painting for Art for After Hours, which is going to be a fun adventure. Check out more of the event at Blog Now
