I updated my web shit a bit. Small re-vamp and a new image on the website, new header and some layout changes to this here blog...and...yea.......that's about it.
As a follow up to the post below: I did indeed win the tickets to see Swervedriver in Chicago. Totally radical. I'm told the bars are open until 5 in the AM over there too, which is...interesting. Anyway, thanks to those who helped me on my conquest.
I've been doing a lot of work lately. I'm about half way done with my CVA Alumni piece and am putting the finishing touches on a piece done for a friend as a wedding gift, amongst others. The wedding is next weekend, so that one needs to get done STAT. Which reminds me...I'll be in Kansas City next weekend attending said wedding. Maybe I'll have some hazey pics from the long drive down when I return.
Seriously though, who the hell gets married anymore?
Incredibly Lame Post Ahead
So I am trying to win tickets to see one of my all time favorite bands Swervedriver play on their reunion tour in Chicago. That's right, REUNION tour. These guys haven't been playing together for a grip of time now. Understand: to me this is huge.
To win these tickets I must refer as many people as I possibly can to their myspace page and add them as a friend. In the message you can attach to the friend request you must type my full name and myspace URL.
I'll make it easy for 'yall:
Here is the link to their myspace profile: myspace.com/swervedriver
and here is the info you need to put in the message box (cut and paste...BAM.)

So there ya go. This post has nothing to do with visual art, but definitely has to do with some of the best sounds I have ever heard. Fair enough.
DO IT!!
So the CVA thesis presentations last night seemed to go pretty well for those kids, congrats to all who are finished, and good luck to all those who have yet to speak.
While at the gallery after the presentations, Rosie (CVA gallery director) handed me a call for submissions pamphlet to the CVA Alumni Exhibition. All work must be exactly a foot by a foot in dimension (no exceptions) and if you are CVA graduate you get in automatically. I'll be doing this and if anyone I used to be in classes with actually reads this silly blog, I would suggest you do the same. Go to the CVA website for the details I suppose.
Old news I know, but what about this Yale chick who did the "abortion art." How funny is that shit. And by shit, I mean....shit.
Night.
A couple of things.
1. I uploaded some new images to my website.
2. Tonight is the beginning of the CVA senior thesis presentations in St. Paul at that one rinky-dink excuse for a church. I have friends that will be speaking, so I'll be there for a short bit.
3. Friday is the opening of the CVA senior exhibition(s.) Details:
CVA Gallery (5pm-8pm) | A-Z Gallery (7pm-10pm)
I guarantee there will be some interesting work being shown at both galleries so everyone should make a point to head over there sometime.
4. I have submitted some work to a few gallery shows coming up this summer, we'll see if I get in any of them...I'll be sure to post the news (if there is any.)
5. More new work is coming very soon.
6. I finally created a mnartists page: http://www.mnartists.org/Jesse_Draxler
7. That's all.
