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.

site coming along

working my butt off on this new website. once i launched the skeleton i hated it. SO i guess that means it's good...

in less than awesome news, i finished all of my west wing dvds i have on hand today. time for something new

you totally ruined my birthday...

Ya ever have trouble sleeping? and then the next morning when you actually might finally be so exhausted you can actually fall asleep, you can't cause your sheets are at the laundromat and you have to go change them over in 45 minutes... and then get them out o the dryer 45 minutes after that? welcome to my life.

To be totally fair, i did sleep for about an hour last night, during which i had a dream that i was part of the astronaut crew in ALIENS, but half way thru our mission, i realized it was my birthday and i should go home to get everything ready for my party. once back to civilization i found out everyone was too drunk to come to my party, and even when i got home, my mom took the car, and left the house with all the doors and windows open with the lights on. Apparently i'm 13.

This is a regular occurrence, and there fore I provide for you a brief list of the events my brain has concocted to keep me unrested while trying to sleep

-A road trip in which we come across a rural brothel community. while there melissa lights a condo on fire and we get kicked out.

-while visiting a friend who lives above the ocean on a boardwalk, mutant basking sharks are killing sperm whales and waiting for the crews to come collect their bodies, only to then get attacked by mutant basking sharks. Also, i kept dropping my iphone in the ocean. how i kept getting new ones and why i kept dropping them is confusing to me

-a bar fight with a friend who is so drunk she has lost spinal structure, her ability to stay in a chair or keep her clothes on

-And most recently, i was on the 80's/90's scott bakula hit scifi drama quantum leap, and was sent in time to go to prom with a short haired girl who's parents died a week earlier, and to prepare myself for this, brandon and davis spade met me in a bathroom to tell me our friend's kid who doesn't exist had just died. my prom date and i slow danced and cried all night. for the record, if i would have stayed asleep i can only hope i would have shot thru a portal in time and ended up the chaquita banana woman... or on the run from an angry ex-husband who just finished his softball game.



All that being said. i still hate web design. but i'm trying. hopefully i'm sleeping soon too.

summer cleaning

it's that time of year...

cleaning out my hard drive, and my folders, and soon my servers. whipping things clean. getting rid of all the crap designs i have lying around no one has bought. maybe i'll just start giving them away? who needs some shitty merch designs?

anywho.. this is tough work that honestly numbs the brain. thank God i've got the west wing to get me thru this. That and lots of costa rican coffee.


In other notes, i'm bringing the dream journal back. I've been having hands down the weirdest twisted dreams probably of my life the last week or so, and i need to get them out of my head. I think i might actually make a better/bigger dream zine when soon with all this stuff... look out david lynch, i'm coming for you.

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.

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....
