2006-06-01T12:50:00.000-04:00

yargh. found wood. stolen ideas. religious overtones. this is the lest offensive version of this i was playing with

contest, contest, contest........

2006-05-29T15:17:00.000-04:00

So I want to rename the site. Give me your ideas, Now. Leave them in the coments box. I had the name the other night in a dream, and I tried so hard to remember it. Even as I was dreaming it seemed like such a dope new title I made myself rmember it for the morning. But, lo and behold i couldnt remember it. fuck waking up its for the birds.

So as it passed

2006-05-29T15:09:00.000-04:00

I made a new friend for myself. I think im working on a show with this style trying to make it all kinda consistent. Easier to sell them that way I guess. And it seems like im getting closer and closer to actually saying something with the cartoon style. Having rich deep content underneath the soft cartoon topsoil. More comming soon... a new one is done just havent photographed it yet

rebirth

2006-05-26T15:14:00.000-04:00

I was gonna grip about my laptop dying on me this week but there are bigger things out there than a few bits of metal and plastic. I hope all of you are doing well…

R.I.P. ROB

we took this trip…

2006-05-18T17:06:00.000-04:00

so me and teg took this trip south of the mason dixon line.
It was wonderful full of great folk, fun times, cold beer, & all the other things you could think of. While we traveled we took a couple of photos, not as many as we wanted to but i told you about the cold beer right? So here are a select few for the memories.

we got down to raleigh at about 5 in the morning drank till about 7 with mr. Lucas & ms. peaches then took of at noon for GA. Our first night in atl is undocumented {did i mention the cold beer} but we made it to stephanie's graduation party and started a ruckus.

the next day we made it to the spot

As you can see the wonderfull ms. em showed up

ms. biscuit was there bringing us much joy and much huggs

the one called joe was at the bar hang'n explaining it all to us

and of course the man of the hour was there with his amazing{she does put up wit him} girl by his side

and then we went to the old hacienda to have a little off street party happenins {i do have to say i wish we had agotten a couple of more pictures shoulda got one of me and j boi, but did i mention the cold beer yet?}

since carlos had painted earlier

i had to do a little somethin somethin while I was there

Nate was kinda enough to show us photographic evidence of his hamster technique {wink, wink}

did i mention we love feet

the next morning we said one last "fuck off eh" to the one that rides across the country and got a cup of coffee

we then booked it up to NC to see my folks and wish my mom a happy mothers day xoxo

then we got some real southern bbq from the smokehouse

we then rocketed over to ashvegas to see steele and nicole caught a glimpse of woody{although for legal reasons we can not show his photo on here} and found a new route home

I'm almost as big as steele nowadays yeeeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhh

our new route took us through the dirty dime and on top of the mountain just before sunset we found the most beautiful spot

and after that last stop we drove and drove and drove and napped and drove all the way home…

I forgot the title

2006-05-08T13:38:00.000-04:00

I havent been painting much lately or sketching much either. I been busy raising hell, gardening, falling off my bike drunk, watchin simpsons, making coffee, learning html, juggling cats, and doin a shitload of freelance (although i'm not making as much loot as i should be). Anyways fuck it, I got some shit brewing but I don't even want to tease you with the early drawerings. Lets just say meeting sam flores and seeing his and jeremy fish's art openings last week were good for me. Although they did make me realize how slack I've been they also showed me it can be done and it sells well. So keep up, and stay around. Cause i will be back soon.

oh yeah Im heading south of the mason dixon this weekend WOOOHOOO

so i had this idea

2006-04-28T11:39:00.000-04:00

i was biking around and i kept seeing these little guys in my head allot of different variations so when i found this wood i knew they wanted to be on these pieces as you can see they are very phallic sort of dead and kinda like a bullet so i think those masculine themes are the direction I'm going to go with this series keep you eyes out for Mao, Che, & the general soon

SOLD

2006-04-26T17:36:00.000-04:00
