Free admission (spend it on the Artists!) and family friendly. #408Creates

#art release: "my hands are clean, my mouth, dirty" is a mixed media, both analog and digital (mostly aerosols, acrylics, and washes on various paper and board surfaces, a photo texture or two, as well as at least three different software packages) brightly colored coruscating mass of #abstraction. Prints and other various in sundry are available for sale. #buyartfromartists #contemporaryart #408creates

A #workinprogress #abstract #painting mostly composed of acrylics and alcohol based inks on cold press boards, then constructed digitally. Still a ways to go, but the forms are proving fun to work with. #art #408creates
