2012-02-09T13:27:00.000-05:00

It's February already? I mean, it's over a week into the month of lovers and chocolate...and my birthday...already? Time flies when you're painting all day. Really, days melt into one another, and before I know it, it's the weekend again. I guess one can't complain about that kind of work week. Anyhoo..... Here's what's new! The CENTERSTAGE Welcome Kwame magazine is floating around

Do You Want To Be Famous? Dex Fernandez

2012-01-24T13:01:00.004-05:00

From my photo shoot with Dex When I was at the Vermont Studio Center I added a new dimension to my portrait project. In addition to my photo session with each subject, I also conducted an interview. What I really want to know is, "do you want to be famous?" In a culture where one can be "famous" for something as easy as posting a Youtube video, fame is no longer reserved for that lucky someone

Wedding Portraits

2012-01-13T14:41:00.001-05:00

So, you have some pretty cool friends who are getting married.... You don't have anything against Pottery Barn or Williams-Sonoma, but you are going rogue on the registry and want to gift something one-of-a-kind. What else would you consider for the friends with great taste who have it all? Maybe it's just me, but I think custom portraits are a BRILLIANT gift idea. Below are paintings 3&4 of 2012

Manic Monday

2012-01-09T12:26:00.000-05:00

I spent a few days in NY last week. Went to a couple openings, ate at Balthazar, drank too much, got to see some NYC buddies, and my Vermont Studio Center besties. Y'all know who you are :) Anyhoo, probably the best thing that came out of the whole trip is that I landed upon a house sitting opportunity that will put me in BK for almost three weeks. And it starts on my birthday. Love to be out of

News: 2012 Week 1

2012-01-04T15:25:00.000-05:00

Hi y'all- I know the first week isn't quite over yet, but I'll be in NYC for the rest of the week, so I thought I'd check in on how things are going so far. Fitzbomb in Baltimore by Hand Way back in 2008, then Baltimore Sun blogger, Christy Zuccarini, first wrote about my Baltimore Portrait project in her blog, Baltimore by Hand. Now, three years later, as the project is reaching momentum

Hello 2012

2012-01-02T13:45:00.000-05:00

(visit my flickr and click all sizes to see image enlarged) At the beginning of last year, I was having a major post-holiday bummer fest. I had had a fairly productive 2010, but hadn't shown any work since the fall, and didn't have anything new coming up. With a boo-hoo-I-don't-know-what-to-do-with-myself attitude I sat down to write my resolutions. I wanted to feel the adrenaline that

Tips On How Not To Be Boring In 2012

2011-12-30T14:30:00.002-05:00

1. Don't Hate: I like to say, "haters are never famous." Hating on your competition, or something that you don't especially like or understand makes you boring. Although you may feel that you have the superior opinion/taste, hating keeps your options limited. You are not open to all possibilities. When you hate on something/one it doesn't make you look better or superior, it makes you look

I'm Baaaa-aaack...

2011-12-30T10:54:00.001-05:00

Hi y'all. I hope you didn't miss me too much (I mean, really, I hope you did, but I'll play cool.) I don't think I posted at all this month...and here we are, about to peace out to another year with hopes that next year will make all of our dreams come true. There's that thing about the world ending, but what has a Mayan ever done for me? Seriously though, I hope that all of the 2012-ers use

New York Reunion

2011-11-28T09:04:00.001-05:00

I've decided that today is the day I officially accept that I'm back in Baltimore and get back to business. This week I'll be getting my painting quota in and (hopefully) won't accumulate a single bar tab. I've been back for about ten days and I've pretty much spent that whole time wearing myself out...doing fun things like dancing with my buddies in NY, sleeping for 3 hours, and coming directly

Vermont Studio Center: The Final Countdown

2011-11-24T12:46:00.001-05:00

It's Thanksgiving, and I'm thankful... that it's Thanksgiving. I can take the whole day off without feeling guilty. I've almost been home from VSC for a full week, and I see piles of pets and children to paint in my pre-Christmas future. Not to mention that it's getting into full-swing application season and there's also a ton of art that I really want to make right now... It's cool though.

Vermont Studio Center Part Dos

2011-11-20T12:05:00.001-05:00

When I went to VSC, I was all, "I'm really looking forward to being isolated in the country and just getting a ton of work done." Little did I know... The thing is, if I had done things as my preconceived plan laid out, I would have missed out on some of the best parts of my experience. I made a TON of buddies. I met a ton of connections. I had great and informative critiques. My head got

Vermont Studio Center Part 1

2011-11-19T14:48:00.001-05:00

I'm back in Baltimore. I feel like I just went through some crazy time warp while spending the past month at the Vermont Studio Center (VSC from here on out.) It was like being in an amazing unreality reality. As I gather, every month-long group who passes through the Red Mill of Johnson, VT has different versions of the same thing to say... so I won't wax sentimental. I will just say that I

You Know You Want To...

2011-11-11T09:57:00.001-05:00

Out of all of the people I know, a few work really hard. I mean really. And not only do they work hard, but they take the risk to work hard at competitive fields that may not always be financially rewarding. I'm not talking logging 40 hours a week at a crappy job that pays the bills. I'm saying they work that crappy job and then put another 40 into pursuing their real goals... because they want

Hi y'all- I'm having one of those days where I feel productive, but I haven't gotten to sit down in front of a painting yet...that's just how it goes sometimes. Studio Before Anyhoo, last night I signed up to show some "slides" of my work to my fellow artists and writers at the Vermont Studio Center (VSC.) I was SO nervous.

Party Time with Kwame Kwei-Armah and Lady Miss Kier

2011-10-16T18:08:00.000-04:00

Last night I made what was probably my last appearance out in the world before I leave for my residency in Vermont. I have to say that I picked a pretty sweet event to use as my excuse for a night out. The party was hosted at the Gutierrez Studios in Woodberry/Clipper Mill, and was thrown in honor of CENTERSTAGE's new creative director, Kwame Kwei-Armah. Charisse Nichols struck again by

Many 14 hour days have gone by with me living in one outfit with my hair in a knot on the top of my head.

Last night was the annual Best of Baltimore party thrown by the Baltimore City Paper. It's a night to dress up and drink up...one of those events where you can't turn around without bumping in to someone you know. Today my head is kinda hurty and two of my toes are still 100% numb from my heals, but I'm sure I'll see ya there again next year ;) Enjoy. xoxo, -Fitz p.s. While I'm on the

One of my new year's resolutions this year has been to apply for three things that I find somewhat intimidating, or maybe just a little out of my reach. So far my score is 1-1. The first application didn't make it, but it prepped me to be ready for the next. Now I hope to break the tie with my submission to the National Portrait Gallery's tri-annual competition.

As a winner of a Maryland Outstanding Blog Award, I was asked to contribute to the Baltimore Sun's interactive 9/11 map. The map pinpoints where many were when they heard of the tragic events occurring in the morning hours of September 11th 2001. I was teaching at Lansdowne High School. From the interactive map: I was a brand new high school teacher with just about a dozen days in

For the past three years I've been working on a project to paint the people, particularly the twenty and thirty-somethings, who populate the city of Baltimore in the early 2000's. The collection is meant to document those who I have come in contact with in the past decade. It will capture our youth and allow us to look back on who we were at one time.As I move forward and begin planning to take

New In-Progress Paintings

2011-08-24T12:05:00.001-04:00

When I take on projects, I tend to book myself up in ways that may seem crazy to some... Especially since, admittedly, I am still in the stages of doing a large amount of my painting for little income. Doing it for money makes sense to most, but doing it because one day I want to be recognized as a great painter...well, that probably seems like a silly pipe dream to your average Joe. The thing

So far this week has been really fun... and I finished a new painting. After a weekend of working and baseball, I started off my Monday shooting a video collaboration with Shodekeh.

New Painting: Megan Austin

It's always hard for me to know how best to use my time immediately following the passing of a deadline. For the past couple of months, 10 weeks or so, I've gotten up in the morning and headed to my studio with the idea that time is fleeting and there is a ton of painting to be done. Of course, with two looming openings past, there is still a ton of painting to be done, and always will be. There

Aside from a quick base wash before a trip to the gym, I painted this piece in one sitting. While the details may not be as tight as some other pieces, I'm pretty sure you can still tell that my subject is Mike
