-Grumpy Study

Scrambling to find something to put up for Monday I pulled out this figure study from my SVA days and scanned it. oil on masonite, 11"x19" 1999?
I remember that this model kept nodding off to sleep and at some point some students were pretty irritated. One in particular yelled at him so the model just quietly said, "I feel sick." got up, threw on clothes and walked out.

Here's a time-lapse I made last summer for a background image on Circa Survive's website. Combination oil on wood + some digital.

-Beetle Drawing

Hi Fructose has a nice write up about my show last week with Allison Sommers

-Los Angeles

I just got back to NYC from my wonderful vacation in Los Angeles. Thanks to everyone everywhere. I didn't take any photos while there and am bummed about that because a lot happened. Anyways here's some pics from the opening all taken by Sam Graham.(cept the last one) The whole album is on Thinkspace Gallery's FLICKR and also on their FACEBOOK PAGE. If you were there you can tag yourself. Instagram!

Here's me signing a 24"x24" print of "The Stray" which will be available through Thinkspace's website really soon with an edition of just 25. Its time to update that Selected Works section.

I don't know Krysten Ritter, but she was there.

These are the guys that made it happen. I thought there was a group photo of us with Allison Sommers too, but didn't see it. She has some super detailed gouache paintings in the project room.

See. The show goes through the to the 28th. You should check it out.

Thats about all.

-Kick Off.

About to head to Los Angeles for my show at Thinkspace Gallery. Contact Andrew Hosner at contact@sourharvest.com for any inquiries about the work. Here is a 2 1/2 minute time-lapse I put together of me working on it. Looks like I need a faster computer, but I really enjoy making these videos so count on more showing up.
Also have a mini interview "Back Talk" on the Juxtapoz website HERE.
Here's a small 12"x 12 painting titled "Sea Villa" My last one of 2011. Finished it about 11:30pm New Years Eve then somehow made it outside for the countdown. No big deal. I want to start painting ocean water more often.
Detail.

-The First Day print

I have a new print that will go up tomorrow, Tuesday, December 13th. 3pm East Coast Time.
In an ongoing attempt to give personality and will to inanimate objects, we have here a noble mother and son balloon. I imagined the nervous little balloon being taken to his first day of school and this frames their procession in the sky. A bigger edition than the Drifter's print from October, but its the same 16"x20" size. Its called The First Day.

"The First Day"
Paper size 16"x 20"
Signed Edition of 200.
$85

Orders will be shipped in large diameter 4" tubes to guarantee safe and speedy travel time. Prints can be shipped flat upon request for Domestic orders.

There's a drawing show up right now titled "Doodle: The Art Of Sketch" going on in Portland's Compound Gallery. Here are my framed drawings in the show.

-Nowhere and Hi-Fructose 22

Now that I'm wrapping up the workload I'd like to say on January 7th 2012 I will be having a show of new work at Thinkspace Gallery in Los Angeles. Allison Sommers will be in their project room. I'll have some studio shots soon.
Contact Andrew Hosner: contact@thinkspacegallery.com for any Inquires about the work.

And coming out right as my show is happening is a 4 pager in issue #22 of the coolest magazine around, Hi-Fructose. Kirsten Anderson from Roq la Rue Gallery asked me a few questions in it and the line up of featured artists is fantastic. Click on that image to see what I mean.

-Print+Ink Sketch.

Lots of changes going on over on my end, though nothings been happening on my blog. I am sorry and will remedy that now. My upcoming January show at Thinkspace Gallery is underway, lots of time-lapses and other stuff queued up.

I haven't posted anything yet, but I have a twitter @poisonousbirds set up. Most likely my first one will be when I update my store section.

On a side note, because twitter has so many accounts. I wasn't the least bit surprised about @esao, @esaoa, @esaonet being taken. But @esaoandrews too? But what is peculiar is that my email address was already registered by a Myar Mohammed which I had to reset the password and take it back.
..So many people in the world..

On Wednesday October 26th at 3pm EST. I am offering 16"x20" prints of this painting each with its own little original drawing in the lower corner. No two are alike and it was a fun exercise to partake. edition of 90 for $90.
