Making Aaote

I created Aaote for Aspiring Artists Of The Earth. This was my interpretation of their existing logo. Both fun and challenging, he stands 7’4 inches in height.  He protects and welcomes all to his gallery in Dublin, PA. Go visit him and see the many artists exhibiting in the wonderful space!
