Robot Sketch #2

"How I Feel About You Pt. II" Pencil, 11" 14"

Here's the other sketch for my robot paintings, for the upcoming Space 242 "I...YOU...WE ROBOT!" show coming up this month. This is the match to my last drawing - the two are a couple. They represent each halves of the excitement and pain that love brings. I hesitate to post this type of art sometimes because, for me, it's something deeply personal and emotional that I'm not sure most will understand.

I'll post the finished paintings after they're completed.

Business card sketch, Pencil, 12" x 9"

Also, here's a sketch of what could become my new business card front. I figure sometimes it's hard to put a name to a face, so I'm just making it easy for everyone. Also, who wouldn't want to stare at my pretty face all day? DERRR



More updates this coming week with previews for my spring show: Guilty Pleasures with Doug Poole. Go check out his work if you get the chance!

And submissions for the Robot show are due this upcoming Monday, January 11th. I encourage anyone with a love for anything robotic to submit something!

New updates soon!!!

Ewoks and Ice Cream and Machines to Be Raged Against

Ewok Sundae, 16" x 20" on archival watercolor board.
Available for purchase through artasylumboston.com.

First off, the lovely Lindsay and Caroline were kind enough to point out my artwork featured in the Art Strikes Back show was featured on the front page of the i09 blog last week! Feel free to check it out here!


Aside from that, my opening for the Post This! Rock Posters of the 90's show at the 242 space premiers this upcoming friday, December 11th. I hope you can make it! There is a PLETHORA of AMAZING work there - totally worth it to go!


Oh! And I got hired at the Whole Foods in Woburn as their Lead Sign Painter/Graphic Artist. I'm really excited about it!

Pearl Jam concert poster

Pencil + Photoshop, 16.5" x 24"

This is my submission for the Space 242 90's rock posters and beyond project. I'm really hoping to push out another one tomorrow (Marcy Playground), so we'll see how much sleep I really need to function before I get to that. Working digitally strains my eyes greatly, but at least I have a new, beautiful 23" screen to work on.

I love Pearl Jam, and my plan is to one day have a purple '94 Toyota Tercel with a "PRL JAM" vanity plate. It's going to be amazing.

Anyways, I hope it makes it into the show - I love doing events with 242 and the people there. I always have a wonderful time at their openings, and I've met a lot of great people there.



Also: THANK YOU to everyone who came out to the show, and those who had me in their thoughts! It was a great success in my opinion, and there were so many wonderful works there. I was greatly humbled by the caliber of work there. So much talent - AMAZING.

The gallery is open Monday - Friday until about 6 or 7 for the next month, so if you didn't get a chance to catch the opening, you can still take a look. It's definitely worth it.

Group Show Opening tonight!

Oilhead: Finished design

Hey guys, I just finished the t-shirt design for my friend Britteny's band Oilhead.

I'm really happy to have gotten to do some apparel design, and I can't wait to see them printed. It was a nice challenge to have to work around the printing process (whites under colors to make sure they pop out on black) and solving some technical issues via Photoshop. Did I mention how AMAZING it is to work on a computer that works?? 600 res files? Pshhh, my computer can handle that. In fact, it can handle several.


I also finished that mural for Blick - if you happen to be in the Fenway area in Boston, you should stop by my store and check it out! It'll only be up for the next week or two, but I'm really pleased with how it came out, especially the mum. (Don't pay any attention to the wayward maple leaf...)


Thanks for looking! More art updates soon.
