A Totally Respectable Summer Art Workshop?
So I got to thinkin'… what if this summer, instead of sweatin’ through another batch of random nonsense, I just did something I actually like?
Something fun. Something messy. Something artistic and a little educational.
How about a Summer Art Workshop? Everyone is invited! If you’re a kid and you want to fill some time, come on! If you're retired and want to pick up a new hobby, you’re in.
I know what you're going to say, “But Brett, I can't paint or draw anything…” Totally cool! You gotta start somewhere! You bring you, some buddies, and a few bucks, and I’ll bring paper, pencil, paint, and myself.
Nothing fancy. Just a few days a week.
A little art history here, a little “how not to ruin your sketch with mud-colored paint” there.
We’ll draw, we’ll paint, and I’ll tell stories—most of which will be wildly exaggerated and probably involve lawn chairs, haunted shrimp trucks, or the time I almost got canned from the museum gig for telling a group of fourth graders that Blackbeard’s ghost haunts the men’s room and a snake named Philip lives in the ladies room toilet.
Think of it as art education but fun.
Now I know what you're thinkin’—“This sounds AWESOME and dangerously like a good idea.” And you're right, It is an awesome idea. Because honestly? I’m too old, too tired, and too lazy to spend another summer roasting in a parking lot or some other horrible gig.
So yeah. I'm pitchin’ it.
Ya’ll. Me. Some art learnin. Some laughs. A lot of me talkin. Maybe we learn somethin’. Maybe we make somethin’ cool. Maybe you walk out with a drawing or painting that’s halfway decent and a story that’s probably not true but sounds awesome.
I’m still working out the details, like where and when, cus I still have a few weeks of school with the kids left and then graduation, so this is kinda fluid. But it will probably be a Monday Wednesday Friday 9ish to 12ish kind of deal.
Please fill out the form below to let me know if you're interested. I’ll bring the weird pens , some paint, and the questionable wisdom. You bring your imagination and enough curiosity to carry you through a summer that doesn’t involve me smelling like shrimp or gasoline.
