Artwork up in lights

“Hey kids! First I treated you to some candy! Next, on Tuesday, August 29th, I’m taking you all down to see Craig’s artwork displayed on the 52 ft high big screen LED Baltimore located on North Charles St. across from Penn Station.”

Just received the email letting me know my artwork schedule for LED billboard display next week (from 8/29 through 9/4)

The Baltimore LED Billboard (the past)


A year ago (Aug 2022) I was a featured artist, along with Cheryl Fair, to display our artwork on the LED Billboard down at Penn Station. These are my artworks featured during that week.
I have also submitted current art and was approved to be a featured artist again for this year’s last week in August.
Once I get notice of those exact days/week I with let you know.

Happy Episode 100!

Happy Episode 100! Art Stuff plus a movie & music suggestion, yea!

Took a while but I made to Episode 100.

And yes, more art stuff! Circling back to working with the Thumbnail Sketches.

And yes, I will conclude this marvelous milestone of 100 episodes with another movie suggestion and a music one as well.

Once the art show is up and running in November I will give some extended information within the videos on the movie and music suggestions.

Maybe even do some of that ‘reaction to music’ video stuff.

In the meantime please search them out to watch or listen to.

A ‘get it on the calendar’ postcard

Okay folks, here is the first pre-show ‘put it on the calendar now so you won’t forget’ postcard.

The show features me along with my ‘fourth fictitious twin brother’ Hauptcee Haupt.

For those coming in late, Hauptcee is a ‘tongue in cheek’ storyline created from a recent art publication snafu that published my name backwards. Haupt Craig instead of Craig Haupt. Just having a little fun with it.

Opening reception: katsea gallery, Towson, MD, November 2nd, 5 to 8 pm

And yes, I will be making homemade cookies for the reception.

It’s me, that old artist guy!

It’s me!! Lol A picture of me holding an artwork of mine and a smile to boot. Lol

A smaller group in attendance at the Wednesday Liriodendron artist gathering yesterday but still, always engaging to view and discuss the wonderful examples of art that was created and brought to share.

This is one of the artworks that will be in my November 2 solo art exhibit at Katsea Gallery
