Ladies and gentlemen, what you see here before you are the first stirrings of me coming out of a terrible winter funk. I’ve spent the last few months pittering around with nary a finished piece to show for it save a brewtastic, Mucha-inspired painting and a modified action figure.  But mostly there has just been a lack of updates here on the site, not so much here at my desk.  I’ll get to posting some new works once they get published/delivered to their rightful owners. But to start things off, how about a new webcomic?


A lovely heartwarming Christmas present for the parentals…

…and for Nadir. This used to be a John McCain action figure. GET IT? HA!

A Recurring Dream

Ah dreams. Last November I bought myself a newfangled iPhone as a self-congratulating birthday present. Though it has more than paid for itself in usefulness, I find my recent dreams strangely haunted by it. On more than one occasion I have had a dream similar to the one depicted in this week’s comic. Some folk have tried to glean a deeper meaning from these dreams, but I’ pretty sure I’m just afraid of breaking the damn thing. In any case, you can read the first in what I hope becomes a series here. Enjoy!

Sorry folks, no drawings though. The show is called The Art Market, and its a two part group exhibition that features easily affordable artwork for the masses. As such, I’ll be selling some of my little faucet octopi as I have 8 of them and all they do is sit in my closet 364 days a year. Here’s the low down (from the official announcement e-mail, complete with adorable engrish):
Destination Art Space’s new series…

SHOW & SELL: The Art Market

Part 1: 10/30 – 11/30, 2008

Opening Wine Reception: Thursday, October 30th, 6-8pm

The Art Market

Destination Art Space, a gallery within an upscale boutique merging fashion and art, is hosting our brand new SHOW & SELL series, The Art Market from October 30 to December 30.

This group exhibition will be in TWO parts,

Part I: 10/30 – 11/30

Each part will be featuring fifteen of emerging and professional artists.

Like our popular SHOW & SELL series: The $99 Art Fair, this Art Market series also maintains affordable prices (less than $500!) and a variety of artwork.

Pick your favorites off our walls and bring them home to grace your own!

With your returning favorites and new artists, there’ll be more unique pieces none higher than $500. Everyone can find something they’ll want to own and cherish.

Destination is making art accessible to the public at incredible prices, offering great artists a public forum.
