like this post needs a punchline?

My good buddy Reid Cain created this lovely masterpiece. Look for it in the Autumn Arts issue of the New Times and get a free handshake when mentioning the ad whilst visiting my show, which will be up from Oct. 15 till November 15.

Just A Thought..

Hey Everyone-

I like waffle.

The Home Stretch

Well, I thought I could get 100 drawings/paintings done, then I thought 80, then life got in the way and now I have 60 to show at Sally Loo's on October 15th. I'll also have some cool installation type pieces painted on the wall, so that will make up for my obvious shortcomings. You want a sneak preview? Too bad. Ok, fine, here's a picture I did of my good pal Cody Bown in ballpoint pen:

I know, I'm a regular Leonardo DaVinci. I swear the show will be slightly better than this funny-only-to-me sketch of my best Canadian pal. It will be up for a month starting October 15, so come on by, grab some coffee and be entertained.

ps: I know you're out there watching, why not just email me and say hello?

Where have you been?

Howdy-
I've taken a few trips down to LA secretly to try and plan out my next move artistically, as options for showing my work here in SLO are very thin. I'm planning on showing over 80 pieces at the Sally Loo's Cafe show on October 15th, which will have some old favorites, but mostly a ton of new, never before seen stuff. Will I get to 80 pieces? Well, right now the count is at about 50 and I have about a month and a half to go, so unless I work on a piece about every day, I don't know. I'm trying, folks. Get off my back. LA was fun, but where I used to have my foot in a lot of doors I have found myself a stranger in a very strange land.
No one is safe:

See what I mean?

Group Show Time

Greetings-

I'm showing a couple of my diorama pieces in a group show at a cute little gallery called Deer Run in Cambria, CA. They will be up for a month, I gather, so if you happen to be driving through the area, good for you. It's beautiful on the Central Coast this time of year.


Here are the actual factuals:

Greetings- I have news. Obviously. I don't blog about the weather here, buddy. Sally Loo's Wholesome Cafe has been kind enough to give me a show in October. I have no idea what I will show, but it probably will be pieces that don't have swear words in them. It's a nice place, my favorite cafe, so I'm not gonna louse it up. The show will be up from October 15 through November 15 and will feature a mix of both my 2-D and 3-D work, most of which will be brand new and reasonably priced. I started this blog because my horrible hosting company was charging me a pound of flesh to host a tiny one-page site. While I have many pounds I'd like to give them, they preferred cash and it left me & my art without a "professional home". So, I figure I should throw out a couple of links to sites that have my artwork. Here goes: Bluecanvas- Most of my current work and some of my last paintings are on here. Buzznet- This is an older photosharing site I sometimes frequent. It's pretty obnoxious. Enjoy. -n

Stuff That Has Or Will Be Happening As Of Late

Greetings. Here's some stuff that has happened, in no particular order:

* I was hired to do an illustration for the New Times, a San Luis Obispo weekly paper. It was fun and I was paid in advertisement space.

* I am putting together a series of diaramas. I have six so far and you can see them here.

* With the help of some really amazing people, I am coordinating an event for SLO called Last Friday. On March 25th, there will be 6 different parties going on at the same time throughout the city in celebration of the lowbrow & contemporary art scene.

* I'm doing 10 pieces for the "$100 & Under" show at the Jeff Claassen Gallery.

* March 25th I will be creating my very own Brodeo with the "+Plus One1" collaboration show at San Luis Art Supply.
