catalog

i started another page that will serve as an online catalog. with all the information on dimensions and edition numbers of the various prints i've done over the years. the new site doesn't cover any of the design, book, zine, billboard, stencil, or site specific installation stuff i've done. all that will remain here. but the new page should hopefully make it easier to find information on various prints without having to scroll through all the extra bullshit i post here.

shock 'n awe

a couple years ago i was painting stencils and got busted by some homeless guy. he told me he'd seen my stuff around and asked what it meant. my default in such situations is usually "whatever you need it to mean". he then told me that to him it means we should 'give up' on immigration reform or legislation and just build a giant fence or wall at the border to keep all the mexicans out. fuck. really?
then the other day i saw this:

'til infinity

from ayn. circa 2003.

san antonio

got my camera back from rob with some photos from san antonio last weekend.


dumped a cans worth. even this one photo hardly seems relevant or interesting.

POV, etc.

derek sent these photos from the opening of his solo show at POV that i've been talking about. with the project room dedicated to the new dethkills zine that i was fortunate enough to be a part of.



and YOS sent these great disses that he caught around town.

the road behind

got to stow away for 9 days on a road trip starting in houston and ending in san francisco. got some spots, handled some business, shot some photos. not everything, but everything relevant here.

new mexico highways.

greater phoenix/tempe area spots.



grand canyon. could have stayed and never looked back.


new years in L.A. with dethkills and DAS crew.



old black books came out.

POVevolving in chinatown where derek albeck has a solo show opening jan 10th...

and keeps a studio in the basement. give up, will boone, and many more in the project room of the opening...

where marco zamora is currently showing work.

couple L.A. spots along the way.



pacific coast highway.



the lost boys house in santa cruz?

SF to meet with brett from HUSK industries and visit his studio space. tons of great prints...

and a couple of stephen kasner pieces he's storing for an upcoming show. these really have to be seen in person. incredible.

enough SF spots but not enough pictures. pretty much the same either way at this point anyway.

back to san jose and a flight home.


best days on the road in some time. comfortable ride, real food, casinos, hotels. friends i hadn't seen in some time. ruining mirrors and streets accross the country. with enough time to appreciate and take in things that were rushed or passed by completely in the past. setting standards for 2009. now back to work.
