my art is more well traveled than I am

Today I received copies of two zines that I am a part of. The first one being The A5 Magazine out of Isreal. I know I have mentioned this before on a few separate occasions, but now I finally have the real deal and images to prove it...

It comes in a box (mine was a bit beat up from it's travels) //Open the box and take out the contents //
And somewhere in that jumble of cards is my piece (Working Class hEro) //

The second zine is called Vingon Zine, a brand new, experimental zine out of Korea. My favorite line in their mission statement: "There are no limits on anything whatsoever." Damn straight. The theme this time around was "Junk."

The cover //

And it folds out into a sort of poster form (my work is second row to the bottom, far right, two pieces) //
I also sold and shipped off my piece "Lord Of The Flies" to a lovely lady in Germany named Yara. Good day for worldwide mail.

Next Thursday is the inaugural event for the new Ignite Modeling Agency studios. I will be displaying work at the event in a two man show along side my good buddy Garrett Perry. Should be a pretty fun evening.

Saturday Dearling Physique plays at the Soap Factory for Artery 24 (you can read up on what this whole Artery 24 deal is all about by clicking that link yo.) Time = 3:00pm. I'll be helping with the "stage design" once again. We had a meeting at the Soap yesterday and from what I can tell, the performance is going to be stellar. Not to be missed.

Vigilante Justice II was a huge success. Tons of fun was had by all. Check out the photos on the Lovelee Buttons blog. (www.loveleebuttons.com/blog) // thanks to Holly Ann Yamada for snapping 'em.

This last Thursday was the "Boarding For Breast Cancer" poolside fashion show / event at The Calhoun Beach Club. My friend, Garrett Perry, knew someone in the know and got in on that shit. First off he hooked himself and I up with plaster cast molds of women's chests to paint, decorate, and do whatever we choose on. The finished products were auctioned off at the event with all proceeds going towards Boarding For Breast Cancer. I don't have any money to give to charity, but I will definitely donate my services whenever I can. Good deal. Check the bust //


On top of that Garrett ended up doing a live painting at the event along side another friend of mine, Charles Mossey. The end result is pretty stellar if you ask me, which you didn't, but see for yourself in the detail shot below.
// Good things. Good. Things.

EY Five!

Not sure if I have mentioned this before, but one of my submissions to the A5 art magazine out of Isreal was accepted and the issue comes out July 9th. //

Apparently they are having a release party for the issue as well, July 14th, at what I am sure is Isreal's hippest trend bar. Wish I could be there, but that's definitely not in the cards. The flyer for that event is the image you see above and if you squint and get real close to your screen, you can see my name in the list of the left. MPLS brah!

On top of Vigilante Justice II next Friday, I have been asked to be a part of two upcoming two man shows around the end of the month. One is on July 30th, the other will open Aug 7th. August 7th will be the opening for a show at the newly revamped Music Box theater. The other artist showing will be Peter Lochner, a radical artist and professor of illustration at MCAD. I couldn't find his website, but if you do an Google image search of his name you'll get the picture. Literally.

And the July 30th show is in conjuction to some sort of high end fashion show. The details on this show are still not clear to me, but I do know that it's taking place in the warehouse district, downtown MPLS. I am about to meet with the people throwing the ordeal in a few hours...which reminds me...I need to hop in the shower and get going...

Throw Up 5 release party this Thursday night at Big V's. Dont forget that shit!
