-Memorial Day

At some point when the sidewalk was being set on a corner in Greenpoint, a poor city amphibian flipped over and ended its life.

[Note: it doesn't look like it has a head because the neck was arched back and created an over hang in between the arms.]

I will be casting a positive of this little guy shortly...
Its that dark spot on the sidewalk in the center of the screen for those of you that want to pay your respects.

Also, my show for Thinkspace Gallery is coming along so here's another pic of the process. It's about time I seriously start thinking of getting a flickr account.

Looking through the archives, I guess I forgot to post this...


And for the hell of it, I'll post these exquisite corpse doodles my friends Matt, Clare and myself drew up.


I also added a couple of links.

-Thinkspace pt. 1.5

Quick shot of whats happening on Battlestar...

...with some paintings in various stages for Thinkspace.

These were drawn up for the Korean BBQ place, Dokebi in Brooklyn. Their lunch specials are pretty gnarly for only $8.

A "dokkaebi" is a mischievous-horned goblin of Korean folklore.

-House of Mystery 16

Starting off with some thumbnails...


Here is the tighter version of the approved sketch.


For the painting I zoomed in and tilted the drawing a bit to fill the cover space.

Looking at the drawing and the sketch side by side as I'm typing this, its really weird how much I changed the face of Ann(the only girl clenched in the hand) A completely different expression-from struggling to a distant worried stare.

-Thinkspace pt.1

I have been currently working on my first solo show for Thinkspace Gallery in Los Angeles, scheduled this coming October.

Though I don't want to show too much stuff for it yet, here's a pencil sketch for a 30"x48" oil painting I'm working on titled "The Conjoined Bell".

I'm super excited/nervous about the show. It's still a ways away, so I'll remind you guys as it approaches.

-Shirt

This should be turning into a t-shirt for Boe Weaver, a small-psychedelic-instrumental-outfit from the UK.
Not sure how you'd be able to get one yet.
Not sure when I'll have any new prints up either, but I'll let everyone know beforehand.
