Band of Loners

I’m honored to get to add a few works to this show of amazing friends and artists. The work at this show is gonna knock your little hand-knitted socks off. Make sure you can bring yourself out to this show at Common House next week.

Pictures from Share Your Beauty

Didn’t get to attend this event, but the pictures look really good. The folks from You Are Beautiful put together an event with art from all over the place. Many of the works will be installed in the streets of San Francisco after the show is taken down.

Here are a few pictures from their site.

You Are Beautiful

Check out this event in SF. I sent a work to be installed in the streets after the show.

Mr. Porous Walker is doing a workshop there, too.

You Are Beautiful Exhibition

Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts, San Francisco CA
January 14th – February 25th, 2012

Opening Reception: Wednesday, January 18th, 2012 6:30-9:30p

You Are Beautiful is a simple, powerful statement aspiring to create moments of positive self realization. The exhibition is an anonymous collective of community based projects and interventions, using drawings, photographs, found objects, video, and installation to engage this fundamental concept in innovative and diverse ways. Also on view, is the You Are/ I Am Book Series, a global, collaborative project from the 2005 exhibit in Chicago.

MEGAZINE LAUNCH

We’re really getting pumped up about our show at the end of the month. If you can make it, please come and check out what we’ve been working on. I think you’ll really like it. Click here to visit Crummy House and get some more details.

Over the break

I went to Boerne.

Got to hang with some family and friends for New Years. Did some drawing.

Then found my new favorite place to eat: Lucy’s Fried Chicken

Happy Holidays

Happy Holidays to you and yours this season. I’m ready to sit back and fill my belly with food and beer and hang with my family and friends. Here’s to a new year coming up, but for now, I’m gonna just think about nothing. See you soon :)

Singing people

Finished off these little dudes just in time for a couple holiday gifts.

Weekend Shennanigans

Got to check out a show at Common House this last weekend and was very pumped up to see some rad artwork. Here is a piece from Rich Cali. I particularly liked his limited palate and iconography-like images.

Also, got to hang with some homies at Okay Mountain Studios and also skated a little bit. Was that last weekend? Can’t remember, the weeks are just kinda flying by. Here’s a picture of some Ryan Rhodes works inside Keith Davis Young’s studio. Keith, clean up your studio, bro. :)

This is what it’s been looking like outside for the past week. I kinda like it.

Yes, you are

Happy Holiday season. I did a little brainstorming and made this to be sent to the Share Your Beauty exhibition put together by the folks behind You Are Beautiful. I thought it was an appropriate post for the holidays. I’m thankful for everyone out there that happens to come across this message. Thank you, carry on and be safe out there.

Warmth in color

Yes, even in Texas it is getting colder. Well, not too cold. Working on some different directions to lead us into the new year. Moving forward, so as to keep from moving back. I’ll be posting a few things up from a few events in the past couple weeks, but back to work in getting some new stuff for your eyes to look upon.

Texas Longest Hammer Choir

I was lucky to get to be one of the choir this past weekend when artist Andy Rihn saw his vision of hundreds of Texan’s dressed in denim create magical music with hammers. Alexandra Valenti shot this great photo of some hammered individuals below and here is a link to read up more on Texas Longest Hammer Choir. I’m super pumped up to see the final video and sounds that we created at the showing upcoming the near future.

Here are a couple shots I took:

     

Shed time

I had been bitching about not having a studio with real concrete floors, but then I realized how lucky I am to have my old shed out back. I went out there this weekend and started cleaning up so I could get creative in these cooler temperatures. I’ve already got a couple new works in the works.

Drawn and drawn

Enjoying making some one-off books these days, just free styling, and gluing and taping things together and then stapling them into books. I’ve done this for a while, sometimes with different kinds of papers, newspapers, brown bags and other things. Really liked how this spread came out.

Why, yes

But, today just going to Fun Fun Fun Fest to do some painting. It’s about a mile down the road.

Hallow’s Ween

Happy Halloween to you. Too busy to get any of this action on the blog, but here’s a pic of me and Jessica from the fun last night at the Domy Monster Show 6. More pictures to come in the next couple weeks. I promise I’ll get it together and tell you some of the fun action that’s been keeping us busy.

Mmmmmm
