Next month, I'm going to be part of a panel discussion about social media for artists! The event will also include guest speakers Tim Aldridge and Mike Yochum (moderated by Stephen Wagner). Here's the official pitch, plus the details:
The first group show of 2010, "The Protagonist" will feature two of my drawings from "Mass Populous", as well as artwork by Adam Caldwell, David Young, Aaron Lawrence, Nolan Yelonek, Paul Konzen, Red Jordan Arobateau, and more!
There's something about jazz music on a cold San Francisco night that is relaxing. Especially after the long holiday, it's a luxury to be back in my studio, chilling out to the awesomeness of Herbie Hancock.
Maybe it's a personal thing, but jazz reminds me to slow down and become more considerate. It also reminds me that improvisation can reap better results. Both of which are part of my goals for the New Year (note that I didn't say "resolution" - I feel like resolutions aren't created, or taken, as seriously).
For this post I had planned a short editorial, but after three scrapped drafts, I think it will have to wait. So, for now, I'll keep it short, and wish you guys a happy new year! I'll be back in 2010 with some new in progress work, and upcoming events!
I've never been a super-reclusive artist. Actually, I like to keep things as open and accessible as possible. I want people to see glimmers of the studio process, because process can be as important as the finished product (if not more so). Even with work that takes five minutes to create, there are multiple levels of emotion and skill that are accessed to create that work of art; I'm not sure many people are aware of that..

Last month, I doubled my report and dropped by 111 Minna for "The Novemberists", as well as Fivepoints Arthouse for "Paper Tigers" (right around the corner from 111 Minna, I highly recommend checking out Fivepoints - it's a space with great character). Pics and report, as usual, can be found on Fecal Face!
It's been a little over a year since I shot Tucker Nichols' show at the DeYoung, and I thought Gallery 16 would be a great opportunity to catch up with his work. Definitely a recommended show! But if you can't make it by this month, check out the pics and report on Fecal Face.
Now that I'm settled into the new space and am (somewhat) settled into the new job, it's back to my nightly 4am grind! However, if you've been following the blog for a while, you'll probably remember this piece. It never quite got finished due to preparations for the show at Cafe Royale, but now it's back out of storage. God only knows how long it will take to finish.. it's already taken twice as long as expected. Stay tuned for further (fully caffeinated) progress reports.
