Pen and Ink drawings on paper. Both sides of a sheet of paper for the subtle effect of the figures being submerged in the paper. Most framed in 9"x 14" frames, between 2 sheets of glass so light can pass through from the back to highlight more of the hidden drawing. $150 each. Horizontal piece, "bunny", is framed 14"x 17".

Chronicles of Inspiration

When I was about 6 or 7, maybe 8, I would spend the the beginnings and ends of weekends on the Vermont Transit bus betwixt my parents. I had a walkman with some tapes of my mother's and my own to bide the time: Paul Winter's album of whale + soprano sax duets, The Talking Heads, Tiffany, and Kate Bush. One Christmas, when i was maybe 8, i think it was my father, got me a new 110 camera. You know, the flat rectangular kind. On one of those trips, I had one Kate Bush album or other cranked on my walkman and was overcome by the late afternoon sky outside the bus windows. Especially the sky and clouds outside the opposite windows. I grabbed my camera, swimming in Kate Bush singing about wolves and clouds and Heathcliff and I tried my best to capture the euphoria i was feeling. I only had the dimmest of realizations that the folks on the other side of the aisle might be a bit confused as to what i was up to and why i was taking pictures of them. But I felt no shame, i kept snapping until the light had changed or until the album ended, with that succession of octave tones, and i had to flip the tape.


I looked about like this at the time:

First Foray into Art Criticism...

Comicbook + Clown Show

Been working on illustrating a comicbook: details for later.
Also been finishing up the graphic for the Clown Show opening in July!
Getting ready to go out on the street and beg for change. That's the only paying work I've got on the horizon. Anyone have a new refrigerator box they're not using?

Moustache May: Smashing Success!

I was so tickled to be able to do some scribbles for the official Moustache May t-shirt this year. It was a wonderful month of flagrant facial hair and it warmed my heart to see the fellas sporting the design. {above}

Being in a relentless pursuit of perfection, I have altered my own shirt a bit.

Much thanks to Young Master Eades for the opportunity and here's to many more celebrations of facial fuzz in the future.
