Imminent Discovery

Delving more into surrealism, non-physics, and crazier color schemes. Also I made him look right instead of left, I tend to do left-facing pieces, not to mention this is horizontal and I hardly ever do horizontal. I really dig this one, it's got a minute background this time that's not just smudge-smudge-smudge or some text.

Shhshshshh don't worry I haven't let that go, I have a plan for another painting that's got text.

I forgot about this fish.

He wants you to call him Holden. Don't do it, you'd just enable him.

Nasal Obelisk

My finished rendition of my roommate Pam's Nasal Obelisk seen HERE.

Acrylic and colored pencil on some wood-type board. A little blorpier than hers, but I dig it.

Drawgasmic Entry

Wanted to screw up physics a bit for this one. Getting it mailed out on Tuesday ASAP for the show!

Drawgasmic, Published, Upcoming Junk

So, a few rad things happening as of late! I was just informed my coin went through to participate in Drawgasmic this year, it's a huge gallery show where a huge load of artists make images of the same size and orientation and are hung up on a wall in grid format. There's a lot of rad artists up already, including a few that I know. It also all goes in a one-night gallery show and a coffee-table-style book they'll publish for the event in St. Louis, MO. Click the pic to find out more!



Second on the list (and I actually found this out a while ago) I'm going to be published in the American Illustration 29 annual! It's a massive honor and such an incredible opportunity to get my name out there. I think it's in the student section (the works published were from when I was a student) but I'm getting 2 images published! They're from the same series of AIDS/STI awareness posters and are not at all safe for work, so if you want to check them out, click this link: You were warned!

Third, I have a potential lead for showing Tattooed Love Boy in a Tattoo-themed show near Detroit (will give more details as they come).

Fourth, I have a shirt being printed and sold on TeeFury in the near future (I'll keep you posted on the sell date).

And finally, I sold one original and one framed print in the last week and the cash made up for the time I missed out on at work because of panic attacks.

And we're thinking of getting a cat, I just hung out with a friend from high school for the first time in ages, my anti-depressants are starting to work, and I have bean soup so even though my show at the restaurant was cut short, life's pretty awesome! Keep it fake, kiddos!

Show Update

Just a little update, the show I mentioned in my last post was cancelled prematurely because of some lease issues with the landlord of the building the restaraunt was in so they've closed down for now and I've taken the paintings down and am hoping for the best for them. They've told me if and when they get back up and running, they'll give me a ring so here's to hoping all goes well. I know there aren't many of you in the area that read this blog, but in case you'd planned to go, sorry to disappoint. I'm pretty bummed myself.

Desperate Hands

Had to paint something up for the show I just hung yesterday so I finished this up Friday night. The show will be up at Naptown Restaraunt and Wine Bar in Fountain Square, Indianapolis for the month of May so if you're in the area, check it out. They have a rad buffalo head with a top hat on the wall that is pretty much the shit.
