Welcome to Bang It Out!

 

Procrastination is a VIRTUE—I do my BEST work under pressure!

My friends often say, "Ed, you always wait until the last minute, but then you BANG IT OUT, and the results are amazing!"

Thus, the name of this website Bang It Out!

 

Quick intro:

I am a creative type person.

I have been drawing since I was about 5 years old. My Dad was a popular artist when he was in school. He wanted to teach me how to create, or maybe just keep me busy while he worked.

I remember he would lay me on the floor next to his easel, and while he painted, he would have me trace cartoon characters from comics and coloring books. More on my progression to come soon!

 

In high School I began painting in watercolors and Mixed-Media.

It was not until college that I went full-bore into painting- using Acrylics and Oils. More on this soon!

 

I graduated from THE University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree (Studio Art). 

 

I teach Painting and drawing at Imagine Art- a non-profit that serves adults with intellectual and physical disabilities. I am also working to a TCP (Teacher Certification Program) through my Alma-Mater UT Austin so I can teach in public schools!

 

As a part-time opportunityat Imagine Art, I am enjoying the experience working with special artists, as well as the other artists-in-residence from AmeriCorps. 

 

If you want to learn more about my journey and be a part of it, just email me - I am happy to discuss!

 

Be blessed!
