It's Thursday, but it already feels like Sunday! I arrived in Tampa on Monday afternoon and haven't stopped since. It's been great. We hit the road running on Tuesday morning with a 7:30 AM radio interview on WFLA (FOX). I don't get to do radio as often as i would like…being that my art is VISUAL…but we had a great time. The crew there is a lot of fun and i enjoyed talking to them. We left from there and went over to Nuance Gallery where i was interviewed by Bill Ratliff, the anchor of the local NBC affiliate's news programs…another great guy and i enjoyed the interview. Tuesday night was a benefit for the Jewish National Fund at Nuance Gallery…..a nice pre-Super Bowl event.
On Wednesday, i hadt an early-morning (re: 5:30AM!) live shot on the local CBS affiliate from the Stadium. It was DARK…but a good spot. From there, we went over to Daytime Tampa where i painted live on air for an hour. We were outside and i actually got a sunburn!
Last night i did another Romeo y Julieta Cigar Signing for the Museum Edition Humidor at Tampa Humidor here in Tampa. Miss Tampa and Miss Plant City joined me there and i met so many nice people…i had a lot of fun there and … we sold a lot of cigars! 🙂
This morning was more media….and tonight is the show at Nuance Gallery. Tampa Bay Quarterback, Brian Griese is co-hosting with me and we'll be donating a portion of the sales from the show to his charity, Judi's House.
In between somewhere – i'm not sure how – i got over to St. Petersburg to visit the Salvador Dali Museum. I loved it and will blog about it separately…later! Now it's off the the NFL Experience! Hope to see some of you there.
