Derek Walter Grubaugh – Artist

Turns out this spring semester was harder than I expected, and most of my time was devoted to studio practice, or studying for my other classes.  I have four more new artworks that still need to be photo documented, once school is let out I will have a better opportunity, to show new work, and update the website.  I know there are a few bugs here and there to fix.

Another little FYI update, I can proudly say I have proposed and have been accepted as a recipient for a UROP Grant, through the University of Colorado at Boulder, to continue to work on the expansion of the “Grandma’s Foot” project, throughout the summer.

I can not believe it is already 2010, I must say I was quite happy and quite upset with the year 2009. There was a lot going on, but since June of 2009, one part of me that was lacking was my art. What had happened? Where had the momentum gone? The problem was that all my time was devoted to work, academic studies not surrounding the studio, and Pixel Squared Studios. This semester I am back in studio and harder than ever. I am excited to start the true birth of the Muffin Man concept. The website and portfolio have undergone a tremendous change, I have deleted a lot of older posts, and tons of images of old work.

I believe my work is about to change significantly in style and concept. I am taking my work from modern student work, into the realm of contemporary and professional. I am excited for all that is to come, and for all that I will be able to show the world in the upcoming years. Please be patient with images, for the work in now in progress, but will be coming soon.
