stars, bras, drums, dumps.

theres a new header image. i found an old series of something that is either a drawing or a painting, i dont know. probably the cheapest materials ive ever worked with: copy paper turned black with really crappy ink and these starts cut out of 'stick-on' faux-wood linoleum. theyre cool. really.

Christian McBride is a recent discovery for me. a dude that works with me passed me his latest live cd. i was blown away, repeatedly. i still have to pick up my jaw when i hear Terron Gulley play drums - really simple fusion set, and he WAILS on a nice thin, bright 24" ride cymbal. his bass drum work is insane at times, so i had to make these two hot hot pictures.

if you're a facebook friend, you may have cocked your head off slightly to the right when i posted a few days of "im going to draw bras." i only hit two good pieces out of a few odd starts. ink, acrylic, and some 'teener-girl-sleepover' colored sharpies. my wife has good taste, i dont know if that comes out in the work.

i have a picture of Caroline Kennedy holding 'lil john hanging in my studio. it has collected some splayed ink and some crinks from hitting the floor once or twice. one night i was doing blind contours and that picture hit me as being rather sad; memories, death, black & white. i and waited days in between sessions so that it could all dry - ink, watercolor, acrylics. sad caroline kennedy.

yer chance to see me rock and buy cheap works

saturday the 20th of september i am playing Oranje. if you dont know its a contemporary music and arts fest that happens once a year in indy. some of the work they pick to show is pretty f'n lame, but some of it is top notch shit, and thats a good thing.

one my bands Rooms is playing on the "side stage" (which could mean many things, but as long as its a small stage, then im cool with it.)

i am making a few 'posters' for the show = some drips works with the word "rooms" on it. they will be cheap ($10?) and look cool. if i have time some t-shirts will be there for yer consumption.

thin fevers is playing a few shows at the end of the month, get this, IN OTHER CITIES!!! so if you want an early week road trip, lemme know. we need someone to work the merch table!


love to all from my literally poor ass.

its funny because its true.
