Well Happy New Year, All-
Lots of changes coming up for 2012. The store will be moving to a location TBA, and I am going to try my hardest to get my work into two prominent galleries in the area. If both fail to happen, I'll be living on my mom's couch in Glendale, CA. Things never seem to get easier as you get older. Ah the simpler times:

The end of this month will bring about a fun group show to benefit a friend's lawyer expenses. So far, I know it will be on the 27th, from 7 to 10, hopefully in a gallery close to the mission. I'll let you know when it's set in stone. The "Defense Budget" group show featured collaborators will include a lot of cool street artists, one cool tattoo artist, and the godfather of SLO's urban and contemporary scene.

Here's to a less tentative 2012.

Sometimes you have to take one for the team, especially during the holidays. I painted this lovely tree for my mom, as I am a starving artist and couldn't afford to get her that in-seat dvd and chrome rim set she wanted for her ride. I used acrylic, stain, and polyurethane. Heavy chemicals are a first for me, but they gave me a lot of ideas for future work on wood. I would say this is a very commercial piece. The stiffs at my mom's work agree. It's a one of a kind, though, so don't get any ideas about commissioning me, suckers.

Hey All-
In observance of Christmas we will be CLOSED
SUNDAY DECEMBER 26
MONDAY DECEMBER 27

…see you next Tuesday!

January will hold some inconsistencies with our schedule, as the building will be undergoing some intrusive construction within the confines of SLAS. Information is hard to come by from the powers that be, but we will be updating you as soon as we hear more info.

Art pick up time! If you've purchased a piece from the Sally Loo's show, come on by the shop and pick em up. If you haven't paid, please do so then, too. I take all kinds of payments, if you know what I mean. Get here as soon as possible and by any means necessary, maybe by your pink bunny palanquin.









Yep...and now a few words from Ryan:
"nick cannon.....I mean c'mon..... " Look at the world..space..when it comes down the world will know..Orion's belt....mars....jupitor with a soft J..these things we may never come to know. Such as Zeus..In the words directly taken from arguably the smartest human being in the world, Gilbert Gottfried "Well, I play Jews and parrots. Parrots are how I've branched out."

I will never let Ryan blog again. That was dumb.

New Work Chronicled on Flickr

Hey there-


Mr. Fred Thursday is chronicling my latest work on his Flickr page. Don't try and friend him, he doesn't care about that stuff. In fact, he made me use my email to set up a Flickr page. I personally am not a fan of that site, but it's a good way to see a lot of my work all at once, and it's easy for him to upload a bunch of stuff at the same time. Bluecanvas is miserably slow for me, which is why I rarely do so. Sorry folks.





In other news, I've taken my phone number off of this page due to a friend drunk dialing me all the way from America's Hat. Please use the emailz if you need to get at me, dawg.

No Sandwich Days

Hello Faithful Followers and/or Stalkers (I'm not judging, I'm actually glad you care)-

News First: If you have purchased a piece from the Sally Loo's show and would like to pick it up, you can do so on the 15th of November. As previously stated, the show has been extended (to December 15), which means that there will be holes in the "collection" if you do take it, but don't let that stop you from being happy. I will replace the divits if you are dying for your new piece.

As some of you know, I am trapped at my store. Most of the time I'm unprepared, food-wise. So, instead of closing the shop for a few minutes or preparing myself for the day by making food ahead of time, I drink water and complain and draw bizarre things like this:

I'm not proud, no sir, I am not.

Hey

..check it out I'm putting together an Etsy site so now you can buy stuff from me and love it or if you happen to hate me you can just buy it and smash it with a hammer. The money spends either way.

Sally Loo's "Die Trying" show will be up until December 15. Yes, I do feel bad for bumping the artist after me, but poppa's gotta make some money.
