Fat Sullys

Well folks the great people of the Denver Taste Casting really did good on this one (thank you Kyle). Now I have been to NYC, but I never really knew pizza was a big thing there since I was all about the art and I have eaten some pizza and I have eaten some really good pizza, or so I thought.

Fat Sullys‘ NY Pizzais great place on 3237 E. Colfax near Adams in a really nice brick building in the Atomic Cowboy Bar which looks like one hell of a place to party. They have tables and stools outside which gives you a great view of the “Bluebird Beat District“ and its people. Once you walk in and the smell of pizza hits you and the good ole bar feel makes you want a drink. There’s a drink special every night and on Wednesdays they have 4 buck goat vodka and jackalope gin, I don’t know what that is but it sounds great. I stuck to the happy hour which was ½ off beer.

The best New York Style Pizza in all of Denver, maybe even some parts of New York, came out and was put in front of us to take in, mmmmm I can still smell it now. We ate from 4 pies, a basic cheese pizza, what was called the “white” pie, one for the meat lovers, and one hell of a Hawaiian pizza.

Of course me being the meat eater that I am loved the last two since that’s where the meat was.

But the crust on all of them was prefect.

Then came out the Nutella calzone, this was so good, if you only go there to pick one of these up that would be fine by me but you have to call me up so I can help you with it.

Oh and they deliver to just about any where so call them and see how you can get yours (303.333.4440)

Now I don’t know what “gluten free” means, and I can openly admit there’s a lot of stuff I don’t know, but they have one of the only Gluten Free Pizzas which is not made from a frozen crust in Denver, maybe even the world. So to all my no gluten eating friends rejoice and eat pizza and enjoy life again. We have been waiting for you.

Even though the food was great and the beer was cold, there was something even better that I myself have never seen anywhere. They had all kinds of board games there and Hannah and I are going to have to go back for a slice and a beer and to play some of those games.

There were also 2 pool tables and darts boards and even a pinball machine which I wanted to play but didn’t, I will real soon.

This has got to be one of the best pizza joints I have never been to, great location, tons of fun and some of the coolest (and good looking) people I have never met. So come and bring all your friends play a game of Candy Land, enjoy a cold beer and taste some of the best New York Pizza this side of New York and save me a slice cuz I’m hungry now.

Denver Calling

Well folks I just wanted to throw in one of those “how am I doing” blogs and it seems like I am doing pretty well. I am trying to get out and learn the city more and more. I have been walking around about 3 times a week and I try to meet at least one person while I’m out and about. I am even learning which streets are where so now I don’t look too confused when people say “you know where so and so is”. I am meeting a lot of people in the building, lots of cool people live here. I am so bad with names so that’s killing me, any one know any tricks?

The weather here is great, right now it’s a nice dry heat very pleasant in the shade but the sun will cook you if you stand in it too long, lots of sun block. For some reason we are getting a lot of rain but we don’t mind it’s nice. Hannah and I have been having a lot of fun and getting in a lot of walking; we have been here a little over a month and still have not needed to get any gas for our car. We have enjoyed enough sunsets over the mountains to last a life time.

My online life has blown up and I can’t even count how many people I have met and it seems like everyone likes my work and thinks I should do very well here. Next month the art shows start and I can’t wait to see if they are right. If you are an artist and you are not meeting people online that live in your city you are losing out of what could be your biggest art fans and who knows they could buy some art, I mean they have money to buy computers! I have met some of the most coolest people on Facebook and Twitter, don’t be scared, try it.

Starting Over Update

Well if you have been to my site you would have seen that I started lining up the shows. We still need to add two more but the details aren’t clear yet but they will be by this weekend.

I got my first solo show here in Denver, at a hair salon called Vain we stopped by the other day to check out the show for the artist this month and I gotta tell you even though it’s something I normally would stay away from, this show was great. All the people in this place look so cool, crazy haircuts, lots of tattoos and loads of style. This is where Denver’s cool crowd hangs out. There were these two very cute models with crazy hair styles and only wearing bubble wrap (if you know me you know I love bubble wrap) carrying trays of jello shots and you know there’s always room for jello!



Yes, yes, yes, I know what you’re asking, “how did I line up such a cool place to show?” As you know, once I knew I was moving to Denver I started adding Colorado people to my myspace, facebook and twitter. Here’s the cool part, you’re going to think it’s crazy - I asked. I just asked if anyone knew of a place where I could show my art. I lined up 3 shows though 5 people that way. Chalk that up to “it’s not what you know it’s who you know” so get out there and meet some people.

I will blog about the show after it happens, which is on August 8th so if you are in Colorado and not at this show, better be dead or in jail, and if you’re in jail break out! (from the Simpsons)

New Art To Share With You

Here are a few new pieces I have been working on for my “cute critters” show I wanted to have but I think I might have to just sell them, I don’t know but I do know that if you play in my contest and tell me how far you live from me and tell me what picture you like then you can win a print. Tell all your friends over seas!

La Piazza Italian Chalk Art On Larimer Square

I left the house at 9am Friday morning to go help set up for the weekend; I was part of a 3 person group who had to measure out all the squares for the artists. I have never done so many squats in my life. I think I met just about everyone I could that had something to do with the set up and running of the event. It was I long day but we got a lot done and had quite a bit of free drinks. Hannah showed up after work and we had more drinks and went to eat at Rialto Cafe again. It rained a little but the few artists who started early didn’t get hit too bad.

Saturday morning I showed up about 7am with my heart template and got right to work, Hannah showed up about 9am and we grabbed some breakfast. I worked all day till the sun made the street way too hot to touch. I also tried to talk to as many people as I could and passed out my “custom art cards” to everyone who had a dog, so hopefully we see something from that.

It seemed like a lot of people really liked what I was doing but you know they could have just been being nice. I found that my style really translated well into chalk. My first time working with chalk was fun I never knew how many professionals there were and that they traveled the world making chalk art.

Sunday I started slow but got through it before the sun came up, grabbed lunch and was at home before the rain came. I heard on twitter that most of the art held up, I will walk by and see Monday morning. My whole body is in pain, I never worked so hard in my life at my art. If you’ve never done a chalk art event you should just to say you did.

Here are some pictures:
