FOUR MORE YEARS

WISDOM TOOTH turned 4 on Sunday. Happy Birthday to me!

THE SKETCHBOOK PROJECT / GHOSTS

Two things.

1. I entered The Sketchbook Project. It's going to be at 3rd Ward in Brooklyn on MARCH 13TH. Save the date, dudes! I am not the proudest of my creations but that's partially because I was working on a short time line / the wrong, sooner deadline. No apologies. You can find my entries here, on my flickr.

2. Marked Men "Ghosts" is ABSOLUTELY going to be on my tops for 2009. It has yet to leave my turntable, save for Neil Young at dinner.

GIMME COOTIES ARTWORK

Here's the cover art I did for the Gimme Cooties comp, which will be available at the RIOT GRRRL COVER SHOW on Valentine's Day.
