Flipping through Jeff Brunner\'s vibrant sketchbooks, you would not have guessed there was a gap in his prolific art making career. The imagery, line, and color are applied\\xa0deftly on hundreds of pages in\\xa0sketchbooks he brought along.\\xa0Jeff\'s peaceful\\xa0and studied hand\\xa0comes across in his work and his process as both playful and genuine.

In his chat with Genevieve, Jeff describes his jump back into art making, beginning with an alphabet book for his niece, and leading up to today, where he currently creates work at night and on weekends, attending shows, festivals, and arcades to display it. His next appearance will be at this year\'s\\xa0Handmade Arcade, December 6th at the David H Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh. Jeff and Genevieve also touch on support, process, and the culture around art festivals.

In addition to Handmade Arcade, you can also find Jeff and\\xa0Hey Beast\'s work at\\xa0G Squared Gallery in Ligonier\\xa0this Friday, and the\\xa0Mattress Factory\'s Winter Art Market\\xa0on December 13th.\\xa0
