Happy to have spent a few days with my lovely wife in the beautiful California city of Carmel! He we are about to head to dinner last night, which was amazing! I could sit here and stare at the trees, mountains and flowers all day.
Today's a wonderful day because I get to wish Happy Birthday to my beautiful and amazing wife, Lisa! She does so much for our family that I don't even know where to start. Every day that I get to see your smile is a gift. I wish you every bit of happiness and love today on your special day!!!!
Love how the clouds are in a straight line from the peak! #crestedbutte
Did anyone else pick up their turkey on a motorcycle today? 😂 wonderful ride this morning with @lisadoggett !
4th of July fireworks at Epcot were over the top! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bigger fireworks show. Happy 4th!. . . . . #fireworks #epcot #4thofjuly #american #kaboom #disneyworld
Almost there.

Painting is coming along nicely! For those interested, this is @liquitexofficial acrylic gouache. Out of the bottle it has a very matte finish, although I tend to like just a tad of semi gloss on the varnish side (but not too much). . . . . . #greenegg #grill #grilling #grillingseason #backyardbbq #bbqtime #biggreenegg #artoftheday #artwork #artistic #artistsofinstagram #colorful #atx #illustration #illustrationart #wip #acrylicpaint #acrylic #wip #arts #austin #austintexas #texas #art #austinart #atxstyle #atxlife #colorful #austinart #fineart
I decided to turn my digital “grilling dude” painting into a physical painting. This one is about 11x14 on a canvas board that I made.

It’s time for the annual Christmas card contest! Every year I have a fan-favorite contest to pick the best card from the prior season’s work. This year there are 9 finalists. The winning family gets a 20”x30” canvas of their image plus the amazing Refrigerator Trophy! Check out the contestants and vote for your favorite at austinchristmascards.com (link in profile).
It’s so much fun when you work with a client for the first time and they come totally prepared! Dr. Skye Clarke asked me to come and photograph everyone from her office for their Christmas card, and they came up with this hilarious other-world theme. And the costumes! So cool. This was definitely one of my favorites for 2018, and I hope to work with them again soon. . . . . . #austin #atx #austintexas #christmas #christmascards #art #holidays #santa #merrychristmas #dallas #houston #houstontx #dallastx #okc #locallove #atxlove #christmas #christmas2018 #ilovechristmas #christmasaddict #christmastree #christmasdecorations #winterwonderland #christmascard #artistsoninstagram
Of course we can't talk about Christmas cards without mentioning our card from 2009! This is really the image that kicked off the whole Christmas card thing. I photographed the background at The Austin Diner, and then took individual photos of us in the garage. I think the inspiration for my pose was Mel from that old diner show, Alice. :) . . . . . #austin #atx #austintexas #christmas #christmascards #art #holidays #santa #merrychristmas #dallas #houston #houstontx #dallastx #okc #locallove #atxlove #christmas #christmas2018 #ilovechristmas #christmasaddict #christmastree #christmasdecorations #winterwonderland #christmascard #artistsoninstagram #diner #1950 #1950s #austindiner
Git 'er done! :) Had a blast on this Christmas card shoot. When I was a kid, an Airstream trailer was the coolest thing around! This family buys and refurbishes these trailers here in Austin. I love the silver, reflective exterior - it always looks amazing when I light and photograph metal like this! . . . . . #austin #atx #austintexas #christmas #christmascards #art #holidays #santa #merrychristmas #dallas #houston #houstontx #dallastx #okc #locallove #atxlove #christmas #christmas2018 #ilovechristmas #christmasaddict #christmastree #christmasdecorations #winterwonderland #christmascard #artistsoninstagram #airstream #homeiswhereyouparkit #camper #airstreamlife
I've had the pleasure of working with local-legend Santa Phil a few times. Here is in the studio relaxing while I get the lights ready. I asked him to come by to pose for some painting ideas I wanted to try. In this shot he's checking his holiday schedule for the remainder of the year (which was insane - he showed it to me!) . . . . . #austin #atx #austintexas #christmas #christmascards #art #holidays #santa #merrychristmas #dallas #houston #houstontx #dallastx #okc #locallove #atxlove #christmas #christmas2018 #ilovechristmas #christmasaddict #christmastree #christmasdecorations #winterwonderland #christmascard #artistsoninstagram #santaclaus #santaclausiscomingtotown #santaclause
