rats live on no evil star

// It has been a minute...here's what has been going down:

+ The "Fame" event at the new Ignite Modeling Agency studio was a riot. One of the best nights of the summer thus far. Working with Garrett on the live art piece left me thirsty to do more, some of the most fun I have had creating...ever. Check some snaps //



+ A couple of Fridays ago I spent the day hanging my work in the newly reopened Music Box Theater. I think we hung about 15 pieces of mine, with an equal number from my show-mate and local illustrator extraordinaire, Peter Lochner. It ended up looking pretty rad for salon style. It will be up through the month of September, so if you end up at the Music Box to catch a gig or...whatever else it is they do there...make sure to scope the walls.

+ The current issue of Metro Magazine sitting on newstands across the cities contains a full page ad I created / designed for the upcoming Clapperclaw Festival. Check it out:
+ Speaking of Clapperclaw, some of my collaborative work with Justin James Sehorn will be shown at the event. Sehorn will also have some of his solo work along with some other buddies, Dain Germscheid and Garrett Perry...plus of course a bunch of other artists. This goes down Sat, Sept 5th. Starts at 2pm and goes all night. www.clapperclawfestival.com for more info and to buy pre-sale tix.

+ Activist magazine ADBUSTERS contacted me a few weeks back asking permission to use one of my pieces from the Methadont project in an upcoming issue. This is pretty exciting for me being that I've been paging through Adbusters every time I'm at my local bookseller for years now. The piece they selected is "088_06.18.09," and it will be full page in a visual essay about the history of communication. Nov / Dec issue. Go find it at www.methadont.com.


+ I'll be submitting some work to the 99$ sale at the Soap Factory. Opening night is Sept. 11th. I submitted last year but did not make it to the opening. This year I hope to at least stop by. More info: soap99.com.


+ Tour starts soon. Extremely exciting stuff. Sept 24th is the tour kick off show at the Kitty Kay Club here in the cites, save the date. The rest of the tour dates can be viewed over at Dom's blog : http://dearlingphysique.blogspot.com/


// Guess that's all. Gotta run some errands.
