Battle of the Brush ’14
Battle of the Brush is a live painting competition that brings together two artists to create a work of art in eighty minutes. I attended almost all of them last year but this was the first for this year. The theme was Cartoons and Anime and each painting was unique. Some went for beloved Disney characters while other artists created a scene and a story in their painting. Here are the first half of the photos from the event, the other half will be posted tomorrow, Enjoy!

Battle of the Brush Episode One
Battle of the Brush is a local art competition featuring eight artists of different styles. There are four teams of two creating a piece in eighty minutes based on a theme. Episode one was toys vs robots, and these artists did not disappoint, the paintings showed everything from Elmo holding a knife up to a baby to a robot and bunny relaxing by the sunset.
