Opposite Sides

I uploaded two new collages to jessedraxler.com.

I sent out self promotional packages to some publications yesterday. Neat, right? I'll be sending out more every week from here on out. If, by chance, anyone reading this receives one of said packages...drop me a line, let's talk, and as my friend Benjamin used to commonly say, "I'll take you to the top," but that doesn't really make sense here.

I threw some new images on jessedraxer.com as well. ie: I updated my website.

I went to the Chambers Kitchen Wednesday night to celebrate Valentines day. The food was stellar and the ambiance was top notch, but that was to be expected of such a fine dining establishment. What really blew me away was the actual Chambers Hotel itself. How the hell have I never heard of or been to this place before. An art hotel...what a great fucking idea. The art was all very intriguing, extremely eclectic, and completely open for the general public to come in and view at any time. Maybe I'm a jackass for not knowing of this place earlier, but it was a pleasant surprise added to an already wonderful evening. I suggest if you are like me and have never been to the Chambers before, head on over. It's worth the trip.

We got this little art thing (by Mim Golub) out of the Art-O-Mat, what I understood to be an old cigarette vending machine turned into a low brow mechanical art dealer. Neat shit.

So, I've been meaning to update this blog for a bit now. I was in New York late Decemeber / early January and when I returned home I was planning on posting a grand blog with photos and witty stories of my travels...but alas, I did not, nor do I plan on ever doing that being that my personal statute of limitations for posting said blog has ran up. If you know me, I have already told you of my adventures and if you don't know me, why the hell would you care anyway?

I have been working on a new body of work as of lately. An extension of my thesis work I suppose you could say. Collage/drawing/painting sort of things. Images of this work will be on jessedraxler.com relatively soon. Hopefully. I am also getting together self promotional packets to send to publications with hopes of having some sent out by early next week. To the art directors who receive these packages: Hire me to doodle you pictures n' shit yo!

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. That image up there (the "Munny") is actually something I created as a gift for said occasion. Well, I didn't actually create is as much as I decorated one of those do-it-yourself blank Munnys. It was created with cut strips from 1950's Life magazine pages. There is a theme beyond that, but I do not know what that theme is.

What else, what else? I've been on a big 12 Rods kick lately. That seems relevant since this is my blog and that is something that has been affecting my day to day life. I suggest everyone to go out and buy all of their albums, especially Separation Anxieties, which is my favorite. All of them are most excellent though.

I guess that is all I have to say at this particular moment.
