In two days...

It’s gonna be big. My painting is ridiculous. Also, the official launch of the book, which includes my painting from last year, as well as something like 10% Otis alumni and teachers. It’s kinda awesome that way.

Crazy 4 Cult 5 - Welcome to New York

Here’s my painting for the upcoming Crazy 4 Cult 5 at Gallery1988. This is my tribute to cult and beloved movies that have been based in NYC, and holy crap have there been a lot of them. I’m really happy with this and really excited for the show, just couldn’t wait to share with ya’ll. The show opens July 8th and should be outstanding. I realize that Tumblr...

Fighting the Foo

Hello there everybody. Been really busy lately working in the print shop, we recently moved from a tiny 2 car garage to a loft space that is somewhere in the neighborhood of 2400 sq. ft. Makes all the difference in the world. It used to be a product photographer’s workspace, so there’s really great lighting, but also shutters on the windows to keep the place from greenhousing. ...

Happy New Year everyone, hope your holidays went well and that you’re adjusting to the new year in fine fashion. In any case, it’s a new year, and new shows, first up, a tribute to comedians: This Friday, should be a lot of fun.

Horrorwood steez

Here are my two paintings for the upcoming Horrorwood show at the WWA Gallery in Culver City, opening Oct. 15th. Based on The Descent and Halloween, my idea was to highlight how far the female character has come in horror movies, from really the first woman survivor (yet she’s still very helpless most of the time) to the most complex and self-sufficient female survivor yet. (forgive the...

Watch

One more Crazy 4 Cult mention/plug, here’s G4’s coverage of the show, and my painting leads off the whole shebang. Now I feel like I missed out not going in for the interview session, but I know I’m horrible in front of the camera, so probably all for the best. Anyway, if you didn’t get a chance to go, this is a decent overview (they missed Julian’s Harold...

On to the next one

Well Crazy 4 Cult 4 is over, and it was an awesome time, and a lot of awesome work, I was really happy I got to be a part of it. Apparently something big is going down for next year’s show, I haven’t the slightest clue as to what it might be though. Thanks to everyone who came through and/or supported! Anyway, as for myself, I have 2 shows coming up this fall, one at the J&K...

Greetings

Hello all, it’s been forever, sorry to be away. Between working two jobs and general busyness haven’t had time to update, but that doesn’t mean I ain’t been keeping on keeping on. I wanted to wait til I talked to Jensen down at G1988 as well. This is the one I’ve been previewing before and took me a loooong time to really nail down. Still got some tweaks to do, but...

Today in the print lab...

That may not look like much, but maybe you notice that there are two tables pushed together. Or the scale of things. That screen is a mighty 38”x52”, which is HUGE. I had to cobble together two squeegees just print it. I’m actually pretty impressed that it worked as well as it did, it was an easy print actually. And not to get it onto a board and start painting.

It's all going down over here

So blogging will commence over here for all in process, new completed work, and related random ephemera of yours truly. I hope to be much more consistent, with at least some kind of post once a week, I spend a lot more time on Tumblr anyway, so that’s a good start. Also I’m doing more work these days, which also helps. So hope to see you around! You can check out my work already done...
