Thank you to everyone who came out this evening to NCI Artworks to support my artshow!

I’m beyond excited and honored to share my latest art piece!

Bruce & Ollies at The Bickerman Building asked me to create an outdoor mural for the side of their building—perfect for photo ops! They wanted something that captured their love for nearby Starved Rock State Park, the beauty of bluebells, and of course, their shop’s beloved mascots: Bruce and Ollie.

Look closely and you’ll find a little extra love in the details—Bruce’s bandana is patterned with ice cream cones and tiny Bs, while Ollie’s bandana is sprinkled with coffee cups and little Os.

If you haven’t visited Bruce & Ollie’s yet, you’re missing out! It’s a fantastic spot in Utica, IL for ice cream, coffee, sandwiches, and refreshing drinks.

Next time you’re in town, stop by, snap a photo with the mural, and don’t forget to tag your pictures on Instagram using the QR code on the mural!

It’s us. In paint. On the wall. Living our best Starved Rock life. 🐾🌲

Come see the outdoor mural, snap a pic, and tag us — we love a good glamour shot.

And while you’re here… come say hi inside. We’ve got treats, coffee, and plenty of tail wags to go around.

✨ Don’t forget — Utica fireworks light up the sky tonight (July 5) at dusk! We’re open until 11pm.

I had the absolute pleasure of creating this custom dog portrait of Travis Barker (yes, the furry one!) for the amazing Jessalynn Ganschow DeSerf — and I had a BLAST!

From the soulful eyes to that rockstar attitude, I wanted to make sure Travis’s personality popped right off the canvas.

Thanks, Jessalynn, for trusting me to create the perfect portrait for Travis Barker!
