Brock, a full-time Art Director at Randall-Reilly, paints during his spare time. Inspired by 50 years of pop-culture, music, movies, comics, and monster magazines, he paints what he says makes him happy. Since his inaugural one-man show in 2010, Brock has participated in several gallery exhibits and arts festivals in Alabama including the annual Kentuck Festival of the Arts. He has also displayed his art at shows in Mississippi, Tennessee, and Texas. He is a husband and father and has lived in Tuscaloosa for over 35 years.
During the reception, live music will be performed by the local band, Really Really Big Man.
