recent press/ure

the fatality of technology. with all it's inherent holes. click click click click counting keystrokes of things immaterial. but i'm caught in internet relevance. some of this may have been a little long in coming.

'harvest in solstice' show opening featured in ENVY magazine.

...which also has a really good interview with DUAL. if you're not familiar with his work - www.dualstreets.com

houston press announcement for the aerosol warfare gallery show

got an early copy of CLERK FLUID'S new book. over 300 pages of his writings from glasstire.com as well as other musings on art and the workings of the art industry. this is the most bitter, cynical, stabbing, hilarious, and true commentary on art and the art community i've ever seen. if you can get a copy, well worth the read.

and i'm not just saying that because of the BGPs in one of the random urban landscape photos that are scattered throughout the book.

visited the new DOMY bookstore and gallery in austin. they should be open for business by the time this hits the screen. on cesar chavez just east of 35.

a lot bigger than the houston space, and with a gallery specific room for installations, etc. copies of the 'lonely days and wasted nights' book should be available at both the houston and new austin locations. www.domystore.com

more graphic design type work. but something i couldn't not do. it's been a good run guys. a lot of good years, good times. a lot of roads traveled. the last recordings WILL TO LIVE did were definitely the hardest and heaviest of their career. hopefully they'll see the light of day posthumously. until then www.spookcityusa.com or myspace.com/willtolivehc

25 of these 11x17 prints on heavy card will be available at the show.

deathwish inc. has recently picked up some copies of the 'lonely days and wasted nights' book to carry in their estore. i've been a big supporter of deathwish and impressed with what they've done both audio and visual since day one. and i am extremely honored to have them carrying my book.

southside

southside skatepark was the first indoor skatepark in houston when they opened doors for the first time some 13 years ago. earning a reputation quick as having the best set up, best shop, and best team, they've sailed high through the skateboard industry's sometimes turbulent fluctuations and stood strong as other parks and shops came and went. i've done quite a bit of art and design stuff for them over the years for tshirt and board graphics and posters and fliers for contests and demos. when ownership changed hands at the end of last year i was fortunate to be asked to continue doing art for them. these deer headed figure decks are the first thing i've done for the new owners. reminiscent of a deer head stencil i painted several years ago, as requested. just came in last week and i'm really happy with how they came out.

harvest in solstice

prints for the upcoming solo show at aerosol warfare gallery. 18"x24" acrylic on paper. not a numbered edition since these are being used for promotion. put a bunch up on the street today, but doesn't really seem relevant at this point to post pictures of that. additional copies will be available at the opening exclusively. no mailorder on this one.
