what would you do if you were in outer space?

Some PBRs plus 4 hours of sleep equals a rough morning, so this is going to be pretty to the point.

Got the new issue of ELLEgirl Korea from the hip DHL man today. I did a cover image for their 6th year anniversary. Part of their "6th year anniversary special edition cover series." Check it:Go to dearlingphysique.com. The typeface was done by yours truly and you can get that fly new EP as well. Its good shit. You can trust me. You can also trust Andrea at the City Pages: http://blogs.citypages.com/gimmenoise/2009/02/mp3_of_the_week_4.php

This is going to be fun:

I could rant for quite some time about how sick the Dearling Physique and Monotonix shows were last weekend, but I won't. Or about how there was more great art at the Open Sky show last Thursday than I have seen in one single place maybe....ever. But I won't. A picture is worth a thousand words though...(isn't that what they say, do I have that wrong...ahhhh fuck it) and guess who has got pictures on facebook (a place for friends yo!) Like I've said before, I'm no lomographer, but you can get the idea: CLICK CLICK.

I guess that wasn't as to the point as I was initially imagining.

Three Minute Egg.

I ran into an old CVA teach of mine (Rachel Breen) at Art Ache this last Friday. She was with a friend who was carrying a video camera which lead me to ask, "Hey man, what's with the video camera," to which he responded "stuff, stuff, stuff, three minute egg, check it out, etc, more stuff." Not that what he said was not important, but it is rather irrelevant to this post so I won't bore you with the details. But anyway...then I just got this e-mail from Rachel so it's an easy cut and paste. Check it:

"Friends, please take a moment to subscribe (for free) to 3-Minute Egg. This Wednesday the 100th 3Minute Egg will be launched and we want to have 1000 subscribers!

3-Minute Egg produces videos from all over the Twin Cities arts scene -- new ones go online every weekday! You probably know at least a few local artists who've already been featured on 3-Minute Egg. Just go to WWW.3MINUTEGG.ORG and subscribe for FREE -- its really cool and it's an easy way to support the Twin Cities arts scene."

So there you have it! I checked the site out and it is pretty radical. Definitely something I will be cruising by on a regular basis.

Oh, Art Ache was pretty dope as well, though the pours of wine could have been a bit larger, but who's nit picking?

Make Me Stylish!

On February 20th Dearling Physique is digitally releasing the "Impressions Of The Night" EP. I just finished the artwork to be zipped up with that digital release earlier this evening. It is a variation on the cover that can be seen on Dearling Physique's myspace page at this very moment. Both covers were done by yours truly, though the one seen on the myspace page will be used for the physical release only (which will be released in the following months.) I've been diggin on this EP for a bit now and I would suggest yall to head over, have a listen, and add 'em to the never-ending list of your online friends. YOU ALWAYS NEED MORE!!!

Don't forget about ART ACHE! That jam is this coming Friday, also know as the day after tomorrow (just like the movie yo!) 6pm to MIDNIGHT, so don't try bitching out with the "I couldn't make it in time" excuse. I have four pieces in this show and I know that Mark Vomit and Justin James have some work in it as well. (Along with about 30+ visual artists, performance artists, and bands.)

And as I have previously mentioned, I was featured in the Feb. issue of ELLEgirl Korea. I just got the issue in the mail Monday. Check the spread:

...i wonder what it says...
