Super awesome day to be asked by Shiner Beer to make a poster for a show they are putting on in New York City. Thanks for the rad project, Shiner!

Commission for Brett
I just completed this commission for my buddy Brett. This painting took a long time to form into what you see here. If you took and x-ray of this, you’d see about twenty paintings underneath what this is now. Glad to get to a point where I have to send it off. Phew!
Handplayed by Moniker Guitars
I was super lucky to work on this rad project with the dudes over at Moniker Guitars this year. We went to the opening this past weekend and saw all of the amazing works by each artist. They were really awesome and every one different in their own way. Big thanks to Kevin and Brett over at Moniker for putting this rad event together.

Here are some shots of the guitar by Moniker
Handplayed by Moniker Guitars
Check out this show coming up put together by Moniker Guitars. The artists were asked to do their thing on one of Moniker’s sweet custom guit-pickers. I took mine and beat it up a bit, cut my own headstock shape and added some one-shot paint on the back. This guitar will be for sale at the show coming up on December 7th at Up Collective.
Love from Texas at Busy-Being
A little slow on relaying this information, but Saturday, November 9th from 6 – 9 PM we’ll be hanging out checking out some work from myself and Alexandra Valenti at Busy-Being here in Austin. If you’re around, we’d love to see you out.
Wolves by X.C. Atkins
I’ve been working with Xavier on a zine we’ll be releasing with Crummy House this weekend at Common House. It has some rad writings by X.C. himself and a bunch of content about our fascination with wolves. Come on out and say hello and snag a zine while they last.
William Gaynor will be showing some of his work in the main gallery at his opening for Cowboys and Indians. This will be one not to miss Austin! Hope to see you there.
Neu Folk Revival at Lequivive
Our first full day in California was spent getting our bearings. We rode the MUNI and BART and found it pretty easy to get around. First stop, the haul to Oakland for the Neu Folk Revival show at Lequivive Gallery.
On our way, we wandered to a street gathering where we saw more art at a new spot called Naming Gallery. We met some rad people who swear they knew Jess and I from somewhere else. After a long talk about past places and faces, We could never figure it out, but there was some good music playing, so we just hung out with them before the show. Also, a sweet interactive music performance by Zach Huston was enjoyed by all.
Then we walked over to Lequivive Gallery where we hung out and checked out the early end of Neu Folk Revival’s opening night. We met Rich Jacobs, a great inspiration of mine and Max Kauffman, who curated the show and also an amazing artist. Thanks to Max and Mike at Lequivive for all the hard work on this show. It was really great.
A view of the wall and the amount of artwork.
Works from Other, Ryan Bubnis, Justin Lovato and some others.
My work along with Robert Hardgraves, Jaime Molina, Chris Silva and some others. WHAT!?? So cool.

Here we go
Common House and Karate Foot
Get out to Common House for their two-year anniversary and a sweet show and zine release. This show will be full of great work by artists from around Austin.
Chrissy P and I collaborated on a work for the show. Using canvas and acrylic, I painted and she stitched and constructed a sweet wall piece. Get by the show this weekend to check it out.
Some photos from the field
Snapshots from some recent projects in the works. I’ve got a few things lined up for the next couple months, so stay tuned to see me try and do them all at once. If you have any projects you’d like to get started before the end of the year, it’s time to start planning on getting those things done.
I can’t wait for some Fall temperatures! 100+ degrees all this week.
