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.

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.

Toasting hot down here
Celebrated Vegetable Kingdom‘s birthday with performances from him and his buds.
Really been digging these works from Horfee and Ken Sortais. Here’s a link to the article on Fecal Face.
Jeez, 108 degrees yesterday? It’s definitely time for some summer weather. While you’re out there, go pick up on of these slingshots customized for Sound and True.
Bloggy Bloggins
Been really needing to do a good old nonsensical post for a bit, so here goes. I’ve been really busy the beginning of this year. It might not seem like it because I haven’t been updating after each project, but there’s a bundle of stuff in the works.
Been dreaming of this baby for a bit. Love the tank colors against the raw metal.
I’m posting on Doodlers Anonymous for the month of May. Get over there and read some entries. I’ll be highlighting other doodlers in town and around my circle of rad creative people.
Also, Bearded Lady printed up a couple Beardos for an upcoming project: BYOBeard. There will be some TV action on PBS of the printing and me babbling about the artwork. I think I had toothpaste on the side of my mouth during the filming, so I may or may not tell you about it when it comes out.
Things in motion
I also got the chance to check out the Misprint magazine at their launch party. It was a bunch of fun. Here is the ad that Yellow Jacket ran and I designed and produced and helped concept. Turned out real nice.
And my contribution to the changing face of Misprint. Good luck with the Misfits cover band ya’ll.
On the update
Been a pretty hectic month, but keeping on with the making and doing. Making connections again and starting new projects makes the hectic worthwhile.
Got to chill with Mr. Rich Cali at Common House a few weeks back. We spent the afternoon making some prints and drawing. Read about what has been happening over at CH.
Did some work on a commission that Jess and I are working on for good friends Nick and Steph which will be wrapping up in the next couple weeks. I’ll do a post once it’s hanging up.
Dug up some of my old comics to take a look at them again. Check out these two rad specimens.
Until next time…
