Schedule is Open Again!

Well, my schedule is freed up so I can get back to work on some of my own stuff.
Unfortunately my office/studio still looks a lot like this.

I've been making a place to work out in the garage so I can start to spread out and have multiple projects going at once without having to climb over them all winter. 

Stay tuned for more updates or feel free to contact me at BenOlsonArt@gmail.com on Facebook.com/BenOlsonArt or on Twitter @BenOlsonArt!

Painting at Southside Harley-Davidson, Day 2 [Update 7/9]

 Day two at Southside Harley-Davidson went great, another scorcher though, I think it was about 103 degrees. I used the Facebook Pages App on my phone to upload a bunch of photos but they were apparently lost in the ether. Pete did an interview with the Steel Horse TV Show, so we might end up on there this week.

Update 7/9:

Happy Fourth of July!

Happy 4th of July!

(Yes, I used the same picture as last year, but I dare you to find a better one!)

From DA:
Last year `MyntKat did an excellent work putting together an Artisan Crafts ABC for #projecteducate, however the Artisan Crafts are so extensive, diverse and ever-growing that there's still much to cover. In this new Artisan Crafts Week we will explore some different crafts, techniques, materials and popular themes to expand your knowledge of this addictive world. This list is still not complete, and we invite you to share with us your knowledge.
