Host a Mini-Gallery?
A “Mini-Gallery” host is a business that is willing to host a Thomas Moffett painting in their lobby or area that receives outside traffic.
If you have been in business for atleast 3 years and have space to host one of my paintings, then take a look around my site and see if you find a [...]
Square Up and Pay Me Back
You might have heard through twitter that there is a new company being formed by the creators of…Twitter. After a succesful launch a few years ago of their now widely popular Twitter, they have done it again. “Square” is set to revolutionize the way individuals will use money. If you have a smart phone or [...]
10 cent songs?
It was reported by Mashable.com that Apple has purchased lala.com for a reported 80 million dollars, and now it seems that Apple has some real plans for this site. In fact it would make sense that Apple has plans to begin the process of bringing Itunes to the web.
Lala.com is the perfect choice for this. [...]
We’re Moving…
It’s Saturday March 12th and we are officially in our new house. The greatest thing about this move is that I will have my own studio, at least in my opinion it is. After living in a old cotton mill for almost 3 years we are looking forward to having a yard and the room [...]
Sandlapper Studio
I wanted to introduce you to my co-worker at Drum Creative. We work on every project in collaboration. Jim Ferguson joined me at Drum Creative in September of 2008 as a Designer, Wordpress Developer Guru, and an incredibly awesome Photographer. This is his passion, anyone who brings all their camera equipment with them wherever they [...]
“Defiance” with Daniel Craig
Tonight I watched the movie “Defiance” with Daniel Craig who stars as Tuvia Bielski, one of four Jewish brothers who escaped from Poland into the forests of Belarus during World War II to lead a band of resistance fighers and create a safe haven for Jewish refugees. The real-life sanctuary established by the Bielski brothers [...]

The Front of our Loft when sitting facing toward downtown. You can see the legs of the Water Tower in this sketch and the fence surrounding us…not my favorite. I want this to actually be more about people and not about scenes. Will work on it.

Well it’s another day and another sketch. This is definately going to be hard to do everyday, I sat out front in our yard with the kids playing and sketched mason but did not like how it came out, so I began to sketch some trees and this is what is the finished product of [...]

I am working through a series of illustrations though that deal very much with the eyes. I am trying to get them to look very arrogant and cocky yet with a smile. The same expression one gets when they throw their finger in the air and exclaim “We are Number One”. I loved the intensity [...]
Alfred Jensen
Last weekend I loaded the family into my old car (actually a rental from Enterprise) and drove down to the High Museum to get a little rest and to take in some art inspiration. One that really made an impression on me was “Alfred Jensen”.
I knew nothing of him when looking at his exhibit in [...]
DesignShack.co.uk
I had to point out this great site for design inspiration. It is one of the first sites I navigate to when looking for great css styled sites. Their are more than 1800 websites featured on this site and it is more like a warehouse than a shack of very creative talent.

Art and Music
“It takes 2 to Tango” I think the saying goes. I believe this to be true in Art as well. Every project I have ever approached is always a reflection of the music I listen to. Just about every art class I went through we listened to some kind of music for the 4 hours [...]
Easel Made of Ipe
My Brother Bob Moffett told me he was building a deck for the Owner of Anderson Hardwood Flooring out of this amazing and very expensive Brazillian Hardwood Called “Ipe”
Ipe is a very dense, hard wood from South America that resists cupping, splintering and twisting. Also called ironwood, Ipe will not shrink like pressure treated lumber [...]
