Um Hi Hi Hello There. Is anyone out there? It has been so long since I’ve seen you…

I’ve been super busy lately, surrounding myself with people I love, swamped in heaps of massive projects and scrambling to get the beginning developments of my website going. Case in point, I’ve severely neglected my blog. I’m sorry baby, but am now writing a short post to formally announce my temporary blog abandonment.

I’m aiming to have a new website up by December 1…No, not 2012…this year! Please if you know me, ask me about this lots so I don’t forget to make time in my schedule to make it happen. You know how I am…

A couple things…I will be going down to Pinhook in Durham Monday afternoon to take down my “Monsters Under My Bed” show. My friend Amy Richards will be filling in the next 2 months with her beautiful work, so please stop by and check it out.

Speaking of, Amy has organized a Holiday show at Wootini Gallery in Carrboro opening December 4th. I’ll make a post about this when the time gets a little closer, but mark your calenders, this is gunna rock! Lot’s of great local artists, including Amy and myself. Yay!!!!

So, that’s it. Until I see you again, stay happy, healthy and creative.

Just two weeks ago I decided I was going to take a break from gallery shows and focus on my new website (among other things). Well, that was until I got an invite to participate in this year’s North Carolina Fetish Art Festival!

How could I possibly turn this down!? I couldn’t and am so excited to be showing something beautifully and artfully scandalous! I won’t be naked and bound, but I will be there ready to party, showing new work.

This show is gunna rock so hard, I couldn’t think of a better way to spend a Sunday evening. Seriously. Check out the photo below for more information or pick up your ticket here. Proceeds will benefit The National Coalition for Sexual Freedom.

Hell Yeah, see you there!

A month or two ago Mike over at SJC asked me to create an all over pattern drum wrap for Invisible Children using the IC logos.

Invisible Children is a world wide movement dedicated to bringing Uganda’s abducted and forced into war child soldiers home.

Tonight, September 1st, the Chapel Hill chapter of Invisible Children is hosting an event from 5pm-7pm at Bliss Bakery in the Courtyard (431 W. Franklin St. Chapel Hill, NC). There will be speakers and videos to educate on the injustices that are taking place with children in South Africa. Proceeds of sales from that day will be donated. For more info on this movement, go to: http://www.invisiblechildren.com/home.php

I’ll be there, please come out to support this effort. Bliss Cupcakes are amazing by the way, there really couldn’t be an easier way to get informed or help out.

Surely you have played with the zoom tool on your photos before…this is what I did while eating lunch yesterday. I would hang any one of these on my wall if it were printed huge. Hmmm, more ideas. Check them out, can you guess what any of these are? Some easier than others…1

A new illustration I finished last week is up for voting on Threadless.

This design is a double tribute to legend Ed “Big Daddy” Roth and the wicked phenomenon of Wizards painted on the side of vintage bubble window vans!!!!
This is what happens when you leave your Wizard Van unattended. Check it out…
