Greetings- I have news. Obviously. I don't blog about the weather here, buddy. Sally Loo's Wholesome Cafe has been kind enough to give me a show in October. I have no idea what I will show, but it probably will be pieces that don't have swear words in them. It's a nice place, my favorite cafe, so I'm not gonna louse it up. The show will be up from October 15 through November 15 and will feature a mix of both my 2-D and 3-D work, most of which will be brand new and reasonably priced. I started this blog because my horrible hosting company was charging me a pound of flesh to host a tiny one-page site. While I have many pounds I'd like to give them, they preferred cash and it left me & my art without a "professional home". So, I figure I should throw out a couple of links to sites that have my artwork. Here goes: Bluecanvas- Most of my current work and some of my last paintings are on here. Buzznet- This is an older photosharing site I sometimes frequent. It's pretty obnoxious. Enjoy. -n

Stuff That Has Or Will Be Happening As Of Late

Greetings. Here's some stuff that has happened, in no particular order:

* I was hired to do an illustration for the New Times, a San Luis Obispo weekly paper. It was fun and I was paid in advertisement space.

* I am putting together a series of diaramas. I have six so far and you can see them here.

* With the help of some really amazing people, I am coordinating an event for SLO called Last Friday. On March 25th, there will be 6 different parties going on at the same time throughout the city in celebration of the lowbrow & contemporary art scene.

* I'm doing 10 pieces for the "$100 & Under" show at the Jeff Claassen Gallery.

* March 25th I will be creating my very own Brodeo with the "+Plus One1" collaboration show at San Luis Art Supply.

Changes Abound!

Hello and Welcome to Neal Breton Dot Com! For those of you whom are followers and fans of my work, I apologize for the website "hiatus". As you can see, I am trying to save a buck or two and have started to build a blog. In the coming months I will hopefully figure out a way to get my slideshow portfolio on here so you can see my new work.

I have transitioned away from figurative paintings with acrylic on canvas and have embarked upon a hopefully long and fruitful career in drawing and mixed media works. I have already done several pieces that I am quite excited about. I will be recording them in the coming months and looking to do a show somewhere in the world by the end of the year.
I have also moved away from the 2-D world for a moment, and have created some pieces I like to call "3-D paintings", as they are not to be put on a pedestal but rather a wall. Stay tuned for pictures of that work.
