Walton Ford, artist video interview 3:28 mins.

Hopefully this video continues to work and remain available.
One of my favorite artists in a quick interview
on Taschen's website.

Interview with Jeffrey Burk Design (Blog)

Back when I was living in Columbus Identity Designer Jeffrey Burk
approached me about designing my website. After I moved to NYC
in 1997 I hired him to do the original craigcarlisle.com which was a
blast to watch as it was built and launched.
Jeffrey now lives in Seattle and continues his design business.

Jeffrey also is an art collector and commissioned me to paint two
of my Big Head paintings. The one in NYC was painted in my studio
on Stanton St. and the second was a dual head which was later
painted in my studio in San Francisco.
Please check them out,
they are a must see for Big Head fans.
Last but not least, I recently did an interview with Burk.

My Blogs 100th Post! Marc and Amy's Painting

Recently I got to visit the home of the owners
of this very large painting I did back in the early
90's. This particular painting is about 72" tall, maybe
even a little taller, it finally made it's way into a
loving home where Marc and Amy were willing to
go to the expense of putting the required oversized
frame around the painting. A bunch
of the oversized paintings I did ended up damaged
torn, ripped, because they were just so expensive
to frame they ended rolled up in a closet.
But this painting and another posted on Jan 28th
sent to me from Jason were preserved.
I know there are more out there, send me pics of
them if you have them.

Clients Condo

I was introduced to Mr. Aschenbach back in the
mid-90's and he was quick to purchase several
of my original Big Head paintings. Im glad to see
he has held onto them. Nice view of downtown
Columbus they have each morning.
The painting in the top left "Big Smiling Head" was
one of the first Big Heads I ever did. The other he is
standing in front of was the painting which was
selected to be on the poster for the 1st First Night
Columbus 1996
. The last remaining poster is for sale
in my store on my website. (Blog Post below: JANUARY 01, 2008)
Beautiful home Doug, thank you for sharing this article
with me and my readers.
