leaving to meet some monkeys

If you didn't know, i love monkeys. i might love monkeys more then anything ever, except lemurs.

that said, in about 12 hours i'm getting on a plane to costa rica to see some monkeys, and maybe even eat some fish. don't worry about it...


so i hope you don't miss me... altho i doubt you will even notice i'm gone....

new york in june

Made it to NYC. This will be my home base for the next few months.

i think i'm gonna take a mandatory art break for a few days. i've got some kind of silly ideas floating in my head, but i'm gonna let them stew for a bit and see what happens.

thought about going to FIGMENT today on governors island, but have decided against it... maybe i'll be up for it tomorrow.


I went to a play last night, and a guy who home brewed had his beer on tap and was selling it. pretty tasty brew, but i really wish i could figure out what it is we home brewers do that makes the taste so obviously home brewed. as for the play, it was 2 separate one man/woman shows. definitely interesting an got me thinking how exactly they were connected. unfortunately however, theater just does not communicate for me the same way it used to.

denver art sale.

Denver ended up being pretty successful. I now have a really gnarly cold tho. not as awesome.

I have several sets of my beer print edition and a few pieces of my "ground water..." series still available, and i'm really happy with them and would like to find them some nice owners.

The beer series, is a set of 6 2 color screen prints, all 8.5"x5.5" in size. Edition of 25. each set runs $35 a piece (plus shipping)




the remaining ground water panels all come in at 12"x12", and are silk screen and india ink, charcoal, and paper on wood panel. All pieces will be $125 (plus shipping)

serious like a heart attack

another day of working at the suburban home office to tie everything together. making pieces and then traveling with them incomplete for travel sake is kind of silly.

either way, i thought i might as well atleast put a sample of what some of these pieces are gonna look like.

i'm working with the idea's of the city for this show, lots of simple line work, but with some bold color choices, and a heavy emphasis on alot of found source materials to create an added texture. This specific piece below is 1 of an 8 part series, and weighs in at 12"x12". not everything i'm making looks like this, but it's a good jump off.

for anyone not in the know yet... the show is THIS FRIDAY. the information is below...

SUBURBAN HOME FIRST FRIDAY
Friday, June 5, 2009
6:00pm - 10:00pm

Location:
LEGWORK (2nd floor of the Figherfighters association building)
2342 Broadway St.
Denver, CO

The event is also sponsored by oskar blues brewery, the fine makers of Dale's Pale Ale, Old Chub, Ten Fiddy and many more, so hopefully either the art or the delicious beer will get you to the show.

now.. i need to buy lumber, and go eat a ridiculous meal.

i used to be clever...

i spent all day today at the suburban home offices watching the west wing and trimming, signing, and numbering over 150 prints for friday. how this took 6 hours is beyond me, but it's done. tomorrow i'll be cutting wood and bracing my panels. Once that is done i will be completely done just in time for the show friday. Now that i'm in denver and working on finishing everything up i'm really excited for the show. i think the turn out should be pretty great. If not, there will atleast be a weekend full of good beer in my future.



now go watch the west wing.

safe away

made it to denver. trying to recoop. not doing very well. tonight or tomorrow i get to work on the final touches for all my pieces going up friday. more on that later.
