Last weekend I volunteered at the Urban Arts Academy juried show and auction at the Weisman Museum. I sat at the door, checked people in, and ran credit cards / took cash money. It was a time. I was actually impressed by the amount of good work chosen to be in the show, so kudos go out to the jury that selected it all. I'm not sure how well the sale went for the UAA though. I didn't see a lot of work with the little orange (or red?) sticker next to it indicating it was sold, and the auction was almost laughable. At the end of the art auction they held a little donations auction as well. This is where the auctioneer (?) just spat out a large number (starting at $1000) and people would raise their number to donate that amount. As the time went by the dollar amount would get lower and lower and more and more people were willing to donate X amount. I was baffeled by this. Hardly any of the art was selling, but people were giving away their money?! Yes it was to a good cause, but instead of just giving their money away for nothing, they could have got a piece of art to go along with their good conscience. WTF?! Did these people just dislike all the art so much that they would rather GIVE their money away than actually get a little something for it. Fucking hell. Whatever. Rich people are a strange breed that I will never understand.

Getting pretty hyped about the new season of Lost. Not going to lie. What is going to be hard is watching it week by week instead of watching four season consecutively over the span of three weeks (I geeked the fuck out.) We'll see how that goes down.



I'm working on some album art for a local electronic artist Dearling Physique at the moment. I was going to wait to mention this until it was done and a sealed deal, but its looking like this will all be coming to fruition sooner than I thought. I guess he will be releasing the EP early '09. Check the shit out at myspace and get on board.

What else? My piece for "loveable" has been uploaded and is ready for viewing over at Mutual Design Playground. That's radical...right? Things have been picking up over there. New artists, more discussions, and some good energies are flying around. Any of 'yall would be stupid not to join in on the action.

I suppose that is all for now. I need to run and buy more colored pencils. I go through those fucking things like an old man goes through kleenex in winter. I need a Prismacolor sponsorship! Someone get on that!!!
