25 Second Spot

I'm working with director Jan Janes and the crew to create a promo piece for the show.  My research includes watching spots for Monk and Psyche.  Oh, what a great job I have!

Give Your Walls Some Soul

I'll be taping my next "Give Your Walls Some Soul" episode on July 19th.  At this very moment, I'm seriously considering painting some sort of dessert; something chocolate with a raspberry sauce (gotta have that red!). I'm sure going to have fun setting this one up.  Check it out!
