"Definitely Not A Tour" Tour (2021)

In 2021, Heilig unexpectedly finds himself back on tour, embarking on a journey of East Coast outdoor venues. But the tour begins and ends in Colorado, with a kickoff on July 4th at Morrison and a Halloween Bash finale presented by Coal Mine Sound, aptly named "The Hills Have Wubbs".

This tour was all about spontaneity and seizing the moment. Heilig pre-sold illustrations to the organizers before the event, and his compositions began as abstract expressions of the music. Transitioning his signature blue color palette to a deep teal, he painted the energy of the music for the first few hours, allowing the abstract markings to take shape and guide the composition. He then added subtle tones to highlight key areas, with clean black lines defining the final subjects he "found" within his paintings.

Covid Pandemic: Couch Tour (2020)

Heilig had long planned on taking a break from performing in 2020. When the pandemic news hit it was difficult to accept, but ultimately it worked out for the best. 2020 consisted mainly of catching up with digital chores, producing merchandise, rekindling old friendships and wondering why the DNC blocked Bernie Sanders from the nomination.

When you perform 3-5 nights a week for nine years straight, eventually it take a toll. Everyone needs time to rest and regroup, even interdimensional train hoppers.

Live Art Festival Tour: Pound the Pavement (2018)

Despite facing personal challenges, Heilig works harder than ever preparing for this tour. He channels his negative emotions into his artwork, embarking on his signature blue series. Pound the Pavement Tour (Summer 2018) showcases Heilig's floral compositions, each still life a reflection of his inner turmoil and resilience. Amidst the tour, Heilig also produces his first tapestry, a tribute to a Red Rocks performance with the duo Boombox. He also takes a leap of faith by boarding a plane for the first time in his life, traveling to the West Coast to perform at California Roots Festival. Notable moments also include painting for the legendary Damien Marley and meeting Phil Lesh, reminding Heilig that music and art can be a beacon of hope during tough times

Hot Fire Tour with G-nome Project (Winter 2018) is all about surviving the winter, homeless. The guys were kind enough to let me crash with them on tour, after splitting up with my partner, until I could find my way back to Colorado.

Live Art Festival Tour: Back to Black (2015)

Heilig's 2015 Summer Tour finds the performance painter returning to his roots of black and white illustration. Heilig's quintessential style of clean lines is taken to the next level with the addition of spontaneous splashes and psychedelic patterns. As always, each illustration is created live and on an epic scale - poster-sized to be larger than life. But that's not all! In the winter of 2015, Heilig teamed up with Vermont based Twiddle for a ten-show tour across Colorado. It was a grueling schedule of twelves days, but the collaboration led to some of Heilig's most iconic works to date. Take "Pandamonium," for example - an exhilarating illustration of a panda bear donning a leather jacket and blasting tunes from a boombox. This image was so legendary that Twiddle's drummer, Brook Jordan, used the graphic for his touring drum kit. Whether he's painting to the beat or battling blizzards on tour, Heilig continues to push the boundaries of performance painting. Join him on his live painting journey to witness craftsmanship on another level!
