Nightwatch, Before and After

I apologize, dear reader, that I have not updated this blog since April 23rd. A lot has happened since then, and I fear that someone who has been following my blog from deep inside an underground bunker may have given up hope, figuring that I never finished the Nightwatch painting. Well, fear not, O hypothetical subterranean crackpot art lover! I did indeed finish the Nightwatch. Below is proof (in sequence)

  The "Dispartment of the Nightwatch" happened on June 6th 2015 at the Anacostia Arts Center. Jared did a "Ted Talk" Style lecture about the history of big paintings and their influence on this piece. There were Burlesque performances by Gigi Holiday, Candy Del Rio and Lucretia Blozia. The second half of the event was hosted by Kittie Glitter. Each attendee was entitled to an 8 x 10 piece of the painting, cut out by the artist.
