I’ll be in discussion with @SageFrancisSFR tomorrow morning for the #ArtByTai #DOD45w podcast. The actual episode will premiere in May, but ArtByTai Patreon members are able to watch the discussion live, so if that’s of interest to you, consider joining my Patreon before 11am tomorrow. This 30 minute portrait I did of #SageFrancis a few years back, with ballpoint pen & white color pencil on brown paper bag, as part of my #TaiThirty portrait exercise... . #penart #pendrawing #ballpointpenart #portraitart #penportrait #penartist #drawing #dod45 #timelapse #timelapseart #timelapsedrawing #portraitdrawing https://www.instagram.com/p/COGjk_XhANu/?igshid=pcw961jigxzg

@JacksonJunge gallery is the only place that sells my original #TaiThirty portrait pieces that I did on brown paper bags with ballpoint pen & white color pencil. I think they have a more than a few left including this #TomWaits one at crazy low prices...with the TAI promo code discount, I don’t think ya should pass up the opportunity. Go check’em out on their website. I’ll also be live-streaming on their Facebook page this Wednesday at noon, drop in and say hello!... . . ...#artbytai #TaiTaeoalii #pendrawing #biroart #doodle #drawing #ballpointpenart #sketch #doodles #penart #portraitart #jacksonjungegallery #j2gallery #penportrait #instagramart #doodle #pensketch #artgallery #galleryshow #chicagoartshow #chicago (at Jackson Junge Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_gq7kSlpAO/?igshid=14csz2dgxnedi

Just a few hours from now is the opening reception for my #TaiThirty show at the @JacksonJunge Gallery in #Chicago. I hope you’ll be able to join us. I’ll be doing a couple live portrait drawings, shootin’ the shiz & maybe havin’ a few beverages. About this show, I’m not a portrait artist, I’m a surrealist, but as an exercise to better my skills in portraiture, I try to do a daily 30 minute portrait sketch...this exhibit is of the portraits I did on brown paper bags over the last couple months...they’re portraits of people who inspire my work and life... . . ...#artbytai #pendrawing #biroart #doodle #drawing #ballpointpenart #sketch #doodles #penart #juxtapoz #instaart #artfido #beautifulbizarre #instagramart #sketchbook #doodle #pensketch#portrait #portraitart #portraitartwork #chicagoart #chicagoartgallery #artshow #galleryshow #openingreception (at Jackson Junge Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/BokAYy9gQKv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11msgu0zmyt7o

Today’s #TaiThirty 30 minute portrait sketch exercise is of a man whose highlight video I watched everyday before #football practice & before every single game...his hard-work ethic & dedication was so inspiring to me...I cried watching his funeral on TV those many years ago...#WalterPayton number #34. A superhero to me when I was a young athlete....ballpoint pen & white color pencil on brown paper bag...This sketch & all the other TaiThirty portraits will be on exhibit and for sale at the @jacksonjunge gallery in #Chicago for a little pop-up show. Opening reception is Oct. 5th from 6pm-9pm. I’ll be drawing a couple TaiThirty portraits LIVE that evening. Come out to the show.
