new work! it's huge!

I cleaned up my studio the other day, and realized i had finished something like 11 paintings in the last few months. I'm pretty happy with almost all of them, which feels pretty good. Alot of these are moving into kind of a crazy direction that i'm still trying to figure out exactly, but i'm excited about where ever that is going. here is a handful of the things i've finished. I've your remotely interested in helping any of these find a home, let me know...


"I remember it being colder" 12"x20" (apx). acrylic, charcoal, and ink on canvas


"Fantastic" 30"x12". Acrylic, ink, on canvas


(Untitled) 55"x40". Acrylic, ink, oil stick, charcoal on canvas


"Castle and Cannons" 24"x24". ink on panel


"Have You Ever Had Screaming Children Chase You Down the Street Simply for the Fun of It?" 4'x6'. ink, enamel, and charcoal on panel

Bird print. 12"x12". 3 color print, set of 15. White layer done by hand, so all 15 are completely different.

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...)

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)

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.

print days....

silkscreening is seriously one of the most physically and emotionally draining activities i partake in. i swear to god it's 90% magic. how else can you explain 3 screens being exposed for the same time giving three different results.

needless to say, finishing my "traditional" pieces for denver first friday (june 5th!), has just opened up all my time to focus on my print series edition melissa and i came up with to finish around the show. the fact the blackhawks were a complete embarasment today doesn't help matters much either.
