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....

prognosis negative

turns out i don't have gal bladder sludge, infact the doctor called me today to tell me all of my tests came back 100% healthy. looks like this guy is going uninsured for the next 3 months. i'll just hold on to the bengay.

i'm in NYC for the week. Melissa and I are waiting to hear from a friend for lunch. thought i'd take this time to post some pictures from the mononivore show for everyone who couldn't make it...

a couple of low quality gallery views...





all images are silk screen and india ink on gessoed paper. each panel is 18x24 to give you an idea of the scale....

the mononivores is up

the show at GBU/UIC is officially up. turns out hanging a solo show is dramatically more difficult then expected. either way, here it is! i'm excited about the opening thursday....

a perfect crisp waffle potato

too much to do. finished printing the show posters after several mishaps. i need new inks. drew more corn. drilled some holes in a historical building.

almost done. show goes up friday... well see how i feel about it then...

mononivore show details

The final details for the MONONIVORE show have finally been knocked out! i'm really excited about putting up (and finishing YIKES!) all this work...

The show will be up at the GBU Gallery in the Art and Design hall (400 S peoria st) on the 5th floor at U of I Chicago from April 27th-30. I'll be having an "opening" reception on the 30th at 7-830pm. afterwords, we will be walking a block north to Jak's Tap to enjoy some adult beverages.

I would love for anyone able to come see this show to come see it.

shit's getting ridiculous

Yeah. Thats a ladder i have to use to draw the last piece in the "mononivore" series. It's 8 feet tall. shits ridiculous. oh, and you can see the salmon in the background.

Either way, it's almost done and i'm really excited. I also got the go ahead today that i will be hanging the ENTIRE series at once at the University of Illinois Chicago the last week of april (27-1). It's EASILY the most ambitious effort i have ever under taken, and i hope some people will come by to check it out. I'll post more info when i get it. for now, i need to put some fancy cheese on some fancy meat.

new steps in corn

new steps on the mononivore project... the pig is a bit blurry but you get the idea. started the fish tonight to, but i sorta hate the paper i used.... well see how i feel when it dries....

mononivore inprogress

I'm currently in the middle of a giant series about industrial farming, specifically corn and our livestock that eat it... It's a pretty big undertaking but i'm excited about it....
