Straighten Up & Fly Right!

I'm Inflight... in more ways than one!
My art is taking off in one hell of a GREAT direction! And that's all thanks to my positive twist on things!
I have created some great large painting compositions which I will be working on as well as attempting some smaller compositions.

I'm also happy to report that I will also be hosting another art show... A SOLO SHOW!

Straighten Up & Fly Right
A Solo Exhibition of C.Dogg
Opening Reception: Friday, November 20th 2009
At Greenberry Café in Wayne, NJ

Time still to be Announced.

As for the rest of the night I will be attempting to bring my awesome-ness... to a much smaller scale. Wish me luck and I hope that you will all be able to make it to my show in November!!! :)

My improved Mother eARTh

It's crucial that we are to ALL celebrate abundance
Everyone in completely different from the next. Everyone has there own hopes, dreams, and goals in life. Some are high in the clouds wanting to live a rich and fancy life while others have a much more down-to-earth kind of interests. And as long as everyone all over the world remains their own special person, their own unique self, with different dreams and desires, their wont ever be lack or limitation of abundance.

THINKING POSITIVE
I have changed my overall outlook and views on the world to a bunch up beat and positive thinking. I have found that than, AND ONLY THAN can I be happy. My art has always been dark, creepy, and depressing. With my controversial issues of global awareness darkened I feel as though I have just been 'adding to the problem'. However in shed of new light, I have found that by changing my thinking I can still create my beautifully, uninviting-looking creatures only to produce a positive vibe to the world!

How is that, you ask?
I woke up this morning in my room, which I call the Sleeping Station, and took a look at all the many things around me and begun to cry. Yes, me... I cried!!! I cried because I have come to the realization that every morning when I awake I am surrounded by my most favorite things in the ENTIRE WORLD! My sleeping station, aka bedroom, is full of pictures of family and friends, my art and friends art, my favorite characters and figurines, the colors green, black, and white, my clothes, my shoes, MY EVERY BEING!! The reason for which I live everyday, and should live it to the fullest!

NOTES to my all my Fans & Viewers:
I have now decided this is how I should change my overall effect on my art to my viewers. Rather than sending out a negative vibe of what everyone’s doing wrong if we continue on this path, I’m going to send out a positive vibe within my art, while making my art, WHILE STANDING INFRONT OF MY ART... to bring awareness to the beauty of nature, and of what we are doing right, globally!

I have even begun to do nice "surprising things" for strangers to have them think positive as well. I thank great Mother eARTh for such a wonderful gift that she brings to us every morning, day and evening. For all the oceans, creatures, valleys, mountains, and plains. We are lucky to be alive and surrounded by the things we love most. I hope my art can produce that kind of pure joy and happiness to the viewer.

Lino Cutting Philly (2007)


This is my very first Lino Cut. I love doing Lino Cuts! I took this picture in Philadelphia during First Friday in 2007 I believe. It took 2.5 months to make and I feel as though Lino Cutting is and always should be my main medium. Im not a fast worker unfortunately and it takes a hell of a lot of time and paitence to create my delicate lino cuts. I am currently working on a very detailed ferris wheel, and although Im DEATHLY afraid of ferris wheels, I will continue to work on it and produce something beutiful although it scares me to death!
