NEW! Introducing one of Antsy’s most ambitious works to date, this 24″ x 28″ print was all hand-made. Hand-drawn in pencil, then inked in layers, and finally scanned and colored digitally to create this heart-warming scene to illustrate his song, “Full Moon Nights in Pine View Heights.” Antsy also included several “easter eggs” in the piece, objects that reference other songs that you might recognize. Commissioned and custom-made for his friend, Kurt Keeney’s company, Flagship Communities, and printed for Christmas cards last year, Antsy drew the characters and woodsy surroundings from childhood memories, and even included he and his wife, Michelle, on the steps in the background, smiling at their friends around the fire. The singlewide trailer is reminiscent of McClain’s childhood home, and the dog is modeled after Charlie, a dear family pet who loved to sing. This painting was a labor of love, and is unveiled now, almost a year after it was finished, so as not to get in the way of Mr. Keeney’s promotional use of the piece. CLICK HERE to purchase.

Titled “Music is Love Made Audible,” this image was created from one of Antsy’s favorite childhood memories, when an old man tuned a youngster’s banjo at a Bluegrass festival, and proceeded to play it masterfully. The story is lovingly recalled in Antsy’s latest column in The Tennessee Magazine. READ IT HERE.
