August Frida Art Show

Frida Kahlo was the theme of the August art show at the Pork Chop Show, which is a gallery that hosts a rotation of artists on select first Fridays near a popular art district in North Denver. We had TOO much fun making freaky Fridas and hot Diegos... Not the usual Frida art. Pictured here are the Frida and Diego piece titled "The Love Letter" and the happy artists getting ready to sell lots of art.

Cheers,

Growing Inspiration From Seed

Hungry for inspiration, I looked in the unruly backyard veggie garden... And I have found that bugs, snails, and/or slugs have been feasting on the enormous crisp blue cabbage leaves... Leaving me no choice, but to illustrate! I imagine a glutenous orgy of slimy translucent moonlit critters gorging themselves (while I sleep). So I have made a quick "shop-sketch" to base a large oil painting from, I have so many creatures to create, I can't wait to get started! I will keep posting as I work through this FUN new project!

Cheers,
Derek

Our NEW 2LF Art Studio Website Is On!

I haven't posted in almost a month, but not because the Two Little Fruits have been slacking! Brent has designed one pretty website, it is now live, however it is still (and forever) under construction... check it out HERE.

We're still getting work done for the Root Down Restaurant and Bar, the third piece, which is shown here, has been a lot of work, but it's definitely becoming more kick-ass everyday... Tonight the BBC show "What Not to Wear" is filming at the Root Down Bar, which we signed a release for our artwork to be filmed... We're fully excited! (^_^)
( a post with the show's air date will soon follow)

Rock out,
Derek

Working on "Promiscuous girls are not nice girls"

This mixed media painting has some very fun components! I love the text, I got it from a 50's fitness magazine...
The next article asks: Is Smoking Harmful?

Obsessive Culinary disorder

Brent and I are working on a small series inspired by our O.C.D. (Obsessive Culinary Disorder). We cook just as often as we make art, sometimes while we're making art...

Check out our 2LF ebay store for more.

We have just made a delivery!

We are sitting in the backyard enjoying a beer, celebrating our delivery of our second painting for the Root Down restaurant! I think that she fits the space, decor and attitude of the restaurant perfectly... Here is "On the Hook" in her permanent home. You gotta love the wall of phones to her right.

Thanks for stopping by,
Brent & Derek
