It’s difficult to draw feet, which is why Renaissance artist Michelangelo Buonarroti practiced sketching feet before he painted the Sistine Chapel. Around 1511-12, he made Study for a Foot of the Libyan Sibyl with red chalk on paper. I’m going to guide you through the process of making a copy sketch of this foot by demonstrating how to plot out the size, draw details, and add shadows in this Drink & Draw: Foot video lesson. To follow along, you’ll simply need paper, a pencil, and a drink. The beverage you select is your choice, but you should celebrate making this drawing with a toast to yourself!

As part of my series of dudes in man caves, I created this oil on canvas painting titled Sleeping Theseus. After providing a little bit of context about Theseus and the Minotaur, along with speaking about Ariadne, I describe my artwork in detail.

This painting is currently available in Denver, Colorado at the William Havu Gallery.

I donated a work of art to the Human Rights Gala fundraising auction hosted by Dakotans for Health in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Uneditioned Print of Brolympia is a small archival pigment print of my painting titled Brolympia. I constructed and painted the 8x10” theatrical gold frame to make the tiny bro look ostentatious. The auction closes at 11:00 pm on January 11th, 2026.

I was delighted to be a guest on the Movies Minus 10 podcast! Peter Rose and I had a great time discussing one of the most amazingly absurd dinosaur films of all time during the “VelociPastor Review” episode.

Hello there, my cosmic comrades of chaos! I can’t wait for you to join photographer Aaron C Packard and me when discuss our favorite book: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (1979) by Douglas Adams on the Femininity in the Post-Apocalypse podcast. I’m also excited to introduce you to Jenny Taylor, the next recipient of the Honorary Doctor of Dystopian Studies degree from UCK!

I created Subdued Dudes with Loud Suits as part of my series of brodalisques with generous support from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation. In this video, I describe the artwork in detail plus I explain why I paint men posed as odalisques.

This painting is available through the William Havu Gallery. 

You make important artwork, and I want to help you get funding to make more of it! Join me at the Unaccredited College of Klaire to watch the “Artist Grant Advice Extravaganza” lecture to discover attainable grants. You’ll learn what application materials you’ll most likely need for submissions, along with details of how to prepare your materials. If you need help preparing your portfolio, artist statement, CV, project proposal, budget, and gathering your references, this resource is for you. Throughout this video, I’ll share my experiences from when I received the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant, the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant, and the South Dakota Arts Council Fellowship. I’ll also guide you toward valuable resources to search for additional grants, such as the Guggenheim Foundation, as I wish you luck!

​The Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation awarded grants to 29 artists worldwide, including South Dakota painter Klaire Lockheart. Over 2,000 artists from 80 countries have received grants from the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation since it was founded in 1955 by Charles Glass Greenshields in honor of his mother. This Canadian organization supports young representational artists so they can experiment and dedicate themselves to developing their artistic voices. 

When Lockheart learned that she was selected as a Summer 2025 Grantee, she was elated. This is her second grant from the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation, and the funding will allow her to create complex oil on canvas paintings depicting dudes in man caves. This is part of Lockheart’s series of brodalisques, which satirizes classic works of art by replacing lounging odalisques with contemporary bros. She began this series about 5 years ago when she was awarded her first grant from the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation.

“I owe the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation a huge debt of gratitude,” Klaire Lockheart stated, “It’s an honor to be supported by such a generous organization! I’m incredibly happy that I get to continue to work as a full-time artist thanks to their financial support.”

​I’m pleased to announce that the South Dakota Arts Council awarded me an Artist Fellowship!
