Beard Art Wednesday

I know I’ve been slacking on the Beard Art lately, but whatevs. I’m back on it. Pretty soon I’m going to post about some new events and what I want to accomplish with the club.

Oh and also, I know this is late notice, but if you did some work for the Beards & Brushes Facial Hair Art show earlier this month, you can pick up your piece from Bogda Gallery either today or tomorrow. After that, I’ll take everything left home with me and you can either pick up your piece from me or I’ll get it to you. Contact me if you won’t be able to pick up your art from Bogda in the time frame and we’ll get it all figured out.

So without further adieu, here is some beard art that I’ve found on the interwebs.

And honestly I can’t talk about Beard Art without mentioning Erin Dollar of I Made You a Beard. This girl is very talented and has been spreading the beard and mustache love for quite awhile now. Check out some of her stuff below.

Decemberists Tonight

decmpic

Sarah and I bought tickets to see The Decemberists at the St. Augustine Ampitheatre tonight before we realized it fell on Jax Beard meeting night, but please feel free to head up to Steamworks around 9pm tonight and drink with other beards that show OR if you’re going to the concert - let’s meetup in front of the ampitheatre before the show to get a beer. Whatever you choose to do tonight, wear your beard proud.

Kendrick Kidd’s Mustache Party

Kendrick’s piece at the Beards & Brushes Facial Hair Art Show was so amazing and such a huge success that it deserves a post by itself. This was such a good idea and everybody loved it. I’m so happy that everybody participated and I know he is too. You can check out his post about his art here. Many thanks to Sarah for setting up her tripod and documenting the awesomeness. You can see all of her photos here.

Find the outcome below.

The Art Show!!!

Better late posting than never I guess. Sorry for the short absence. These events take a good week out of me after their done. Well after it’s all said and done, The Beards & Brushes Facial Hair Art Show was a huge success. I’m so happy with how it went down. It couldn’t have come together without the amazing artists who came out and entered their work in the show and the many many people that came out to support it. Oh and huge thanks to Jan and BroadBased Communications (the company I work for) for supplying the beer and wine. Seriously saved me. I’ll keep this post pretty short and let the photos speak for themselves. If you want, you can check out Stephanie’s, Birdie’s, Kendrick’s, Sarah’s, Varick’s, Jim’s, Squiddust’s, Chad’s and Ed’s view of the show. You can find a ton of photos from the fun night here, here and here.

So without further adieu, check out some photos from the show.

Beard Art Wednesday!

In the dawn of the Beards and Brushes art show coming up, I’ve decided that I’m going to share some of the many hirsute art that I come across on the interwebs. I figured I’d start Beard Art Wednesdays! Sounds awesome, so here goes.

Lincoln-Bowie mashup by Frank Chimero

We’ll start off with a fantastic Lincoln/Bowie mashup by the amazing Frank Chimero.

This mustache is dangerous by Marc Johns

Drawing by Marc Johns. Seriously spend some time looking at his work. This one is also one of my favorites.

Illustration by "the pear picker," Bene Rohlmann

I love this illustration by “the pear picker,” Bene Rohlmann.

A Confederate General from Big Sur by Lisel Jane Ashlock

Sweet painting by the amazingly talented Lisel Jane Ashlock.

Bluebeard by Derek Sullivan

And last but not least here is BlueBeard by Derek Sullivan. The illustration is based off the BlueBeard folklore. “It’s about a wife who discovers her new husband had murdered his seven previous spouses.”

So I hope you enjoyed the first installment of Beard Art Wednesdays. I’ll have a ton more updates soon.
