LATE NIGHT DRAWING

I know I've been under the radar a bit lately, but I promise things are happening.

WINTER MIX 2011

This is the first drawing I've done since August.

SWEARIN'

Doodling at work, thinking about my new favorite band, Swearin'.

If you haven't picked up the What a Dump demo [free download] yet, get it quick!

TAG YOU'RE IT

ATTENTION: NEW YORKERS (or New York visitors)

If you can find this tooth and provide proof (a picture of yourself next to it), then I will send you either a free International Girl Gang Underground zine or one of my new photo prints (not yet available on the internet!) - your pick. First come first serve.

BIG MOUTH / LOUD MOUTH

My piece for the BIG MOUTH collaborative art workshop.

DOODLES

Found these on my sketchpad, which I am working in, designing the new P.S. Eliot LP! Extra points if you recognize either of these lyrics.

LOVECRAFT LOGO

Over the summer, I met my friend Dragana's dog, Sid. I drew him a little badge that said "el sid," and handed it it over to Drag for safe-keeping. Dragana has since started a printing press called "lovecraft" and asked me to tweak el sid's banner to read lovecraft instead. I was sent this glorious photo of Sid, but maintained the original sketch drawn from the life of Sid himself. Dragana will be selling her zines at this weekends' Ergs & Hunchback reunion shows to benefit Jackie Nixon, so be sure to pick up some copies!

SKETCH: DRUMMER FACES

SNEAK PEEK: P.S. ELIOT'S LIVING IN SQUALOR 7"

HEY FOLKS! This is the art thing I had in the works that I previously mentioned. I've done the cover art, and am currently finishing the layout for the new P.S. Eliot 7", Living in Squalor, on Freedom School Records. This is the third release on Freedom School that I've done art and design for (#006, #011 & #012), which is pretty exciting to me. So extra special thanks to Mike Hunchback for having faith, and of course, P.S. Eliot.



Made with Micron pen, watercolor pencils, acrylic paint.
Dec 2009 - Jan 2010

SKYLINE MAY 2009

I have some new art stuff in the works, but since it is yet to be revealed, I figured I would post some overdue things from last year. This is a drawing I did for 2009's LEAVE HOME show.

A new thing: I will be posting mixes along with a drawing every now and then.

I'll try for once a month. Here's number one! Just in time for yr favorite season of lovey-dovey times, snowflakes, presents, and stuffing yrself with food. And hibernating... forever. Or tackling mountains of schoolwork with all of that good stuff nowhere in sight. These songs bring about all those mixed up feelings. Nostalgia and longing, dudes! That's what the winter is about.

* e-mail me for a copy!

MORE LEAVE HOME PHOTOS

My work in "LEAVE HOME" being set-up. Picture from my phone.

Here's a better-lit image of the skyline drawing.

I included this so you can get a better idea of how big the silhouette paintings are. I think about 2' x 5'.

And last but not least, I think my favorite part. Some multimedia pieces I did of New York scenery and owls. They were set up in a little black room in between the main room and the back/bar area. The image is a little washed out because the light was shining directly on the pieces. I may try to shoot these again for my "professional" site... GASP! Summer project.

THE OWLS ARE NOT WHAT THEY SEEM

A preview of some of the stuff I'm working on for the art installation-collaboration-bonanza with Cristy Road, Lauren Measure, and Tamara Waite-Santibanez. We think it's gonna be called "LEAVE HOME."

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.

2006

These are some photos I found of an installation I did for my Printmaking Visiting Artist class in the spring of 2006.

little dudes

who get me through the day

this is a few little parts of a xerox of a drawing that eventually became a silkscreen, for the same installation. (it's also a mouthful).

both of these pieces are going to be part of a drawing + printmaking installation i'm doing for my "printmaking visiting artist" class. the first one is a silkscreen i did of cynthia, 2-color, before it became patches and the face of her latest demo CD. the second is a pencil drawing of megan.

you have to keep recycling yourself

this is a sea monster that i have been drawing. 2005, i am damn glad you bit the dust. go forward! move ahead!
