loose ends (clean out)

Lastly on my Clean out posts, there is a grip of stuff that just doesn't make sense in my body of work, is awkward, or for some other reason just won't make it to the website, but i like anyways... here they are...

mononivores rejects (clean out)

A few months back, i put up my show about corn called "The Mononivores", and had a handful of rejects that didn't end up making the cut for the show, and thus, won't be on my website...

figured i would post a few here....

original beer drawings (clean out)

I'm doing all the clean up and selecting of images and pieces for my new website, and am coming across alot of stuff i like, but don't have room for/don't fit with the rest of the site, but i still wanna put up somewhere...

I'm gonna do this in shifts... so the posts are at least somewhat cohesive...

First these are the original beer drawings that i used for the source images of my beer print set (which i still have a few for sale... hopefully i get a store figured out on my site one day...)

new shirts designs!

I did some new designs for my friend's band These green eye a few weeks ago. Pretty stoaked on both of them. They sent me some sample photos, so i thought i'd put em up.





Otherwise... working on the website still... it's getting put on the back burner while i finish up everything here in NYC before i go back to chicago. Can't believe 3 months went this quickly...


oh, and avoid southern tier's cremme brulee stout at all costs. bum out. I fully support all of their other beers tho. so drink those.

We got the money but we don't want the problems.

I'm writing this from a rather cramped seat on the mega bus from albany back home to NYC. I was extremely lucky to get out of the city this weekend and upstate to spend time with some great people, and have an overall artistically rejuvinating weekend.

we spent some time in a lake house in the mountains with a communal sleeping room. we had some great conversations about things i rarely think about anymore, but definitely got my mind moving. I got to hear and see some new things that got me realy excited.

one of the highlights of the weekend was getting a chance to see a near finished version of a documentary 2 years in the making about The Snake The Cross The Crown. Admittedly, this is one of my favorite bands, but i think it's a story all too true and common, and you don't need to know this band to have the words and feelings they talk about in this film move you. This is one of the most intimate films about a band and music i have ever seen. I think when this film comes out later this year it has the ability to really move a ton of people and make them think and put things in perspective. unfortunately, it most likely won't, whether that's me being a cynic or a realist i don't know, but that's what the entire film seems to be about. It will probably just be for a lucky few. All i do know is today I've got a fresh pair of eyes and ears in my head thanks to watching it. I truly believe that great art breeds more art. Often when i see or hear something that honestly moves me, it pushes me to want to try and create something incredible that might move someone even the slightest bit as much as the previous did for me. if nothing else it is atleast the catalyst. (After reading that, it seems kind of competitive. I don't think it's supposed to tho). Maybe that is all that matters...



I'm not excited to leave new york, but i'm excited to get this new year underway and see what i'm pushed to.

All we can do is hope for the best.... And stay positive.

something big

i have an idea crazy enough it might work.
