Getting things ready for some upcoming fundraisers I’ll be painting live at. Step one: Paint everything black. Step two: Hope nobody catches on to the fact that this is all part of my master plan to take over the world. #LiveArt #FundraiserArt #CharityEvent #ArtistLife #hashtag

Stage is set, brushes ready, and the chairs are dressed better than I am. Behind every canvas is a cause. Tonight, we paint 4 courage, 4 confidence, and 4 every child walking a tougher road than most. Let’s raise some money and make some magic for Maggie’s Wigs 4 Kids! Lets go.

Michelangelo had the Sistine Chapel. I have the Regina High School parking lot. Pretty much the same thing. When you’re the artist in the family, it’s basically guaranteed your niece will recruit you for parking spot duty.

Sunday I had the honor of painting live at the 8th Screamin’ Scramble, with all proceeds from my auctioned paintings donated to Scarlett. Scan the QR code in this flyer or click this link: rainbowconnection.org/donate/ to donate directly and make her dream come true.

Grateful for this guy… always showing up with encouragement, laughs, and a little wisdom hidden in between the jokes. Getting ready to help raise money for another fundraiser. This time for the capuchin soup kitchen. Some nights remind you exactly why you keep showing up. 🙌

Huh. I didn’t know it was a rare ability. I guess I can add it to my list of super powers along with my immunity to poison ivy and my charming personality. I KNEW playing in that radioactive waste would pay off.

Last night, I had the privilege of assisting in my first dog rescue mission. We picked up a Rottweiler named Groot. Groot is underweight, sick, and struggling, but now he’s safe and being cared for by DAWG and a loving foster home. We’ll know more after the vets examine him.

Tonight, my bed is made of concrete! Participating in the #sleepout for Covenant House Michigan with my nephew Angelo Santia and his friend Chris!
