Invasion

Last night I came home to my two favorite artist invading my studio with art and debauchery. Vortman and Chris Cank team together to create art under the name Vorcan.
They have been traveling across the country painting live at concerts and music festivals all summer.
In between shows they grace me with their presence. Here in Portland they paint at the Doug Fir, Good Foot, Dante's and other local venues.
Above is Chris working on the computer, probably posting their $50 lunch. On their website they regularly post a painting that is available for purchase that day for $50. His favorite show of the summer was at the Tri Numeral festival in Asheville, NC where he painted live to Gza, the genius.
Vort especially enjoyed painting the Bridge with guest Mike Gordon at the All Good Festival.
This is Vort passed out on the couch after a night of watching movies and working on the computer.
Unfortunately their stay is short, as they have plenty of shows to attend throughout the country and abroad in Europe. This means plenty of driving and little sleep. But for the next few days I get to hang out with these two very inspiring artists. You may even catch us doing some live painting at Pioneer Courthouse Square.
