vision creation footlong


i went to see the boredoms play last night. yes, it was mindblowing and the boredoms are the best band in the world.

one thing i really like about the fillmore besides their ridiculously overpriced beer, overzealous employees, and questionable poster art (sorry, fillmore poster designers 1990-present. yipes!) is how they make menus specific to the night's act. for example, for the boredoms, they offer nachos, veal, something called "the manhole cover", and, my favorite, the chili cheese dog. oh, and thanks bartender for implying that my friend might have herpes and that i shouldn't let her sip my beer! that was awesome!

all joking aside, the boredoms are the best band on the universe and you should go see them play.

not for nothing (pt. 1)

i am finishing up a series of silkscreens for a show i am having in april.
this particular series is called "Ideas For Things" and it's about the idea of potential and the full-realization of an idea in a rough and raw rendering. a sketchbook drawing made epic in scale. more on this later when the manifesto is all finished. i am half-way joking. this is the first 2 of 8. they are:


"Petal To The Metal"
a peace poster, and anti-industrial plea. also, depending on your outlook, a manifestation of pessimism and futility. but let's try to keep on the bright side. power to the pinkie.


"The Agony And The Ecstacy"
this is the cover for a fake book of philosophy. or perhaps a previously unknown work by a german existentialist. or just a reminder of that never-ending balance. yes, i know i misspelled that word. get into it.

conversation:
me: dude, that third song is my jam.
bro: i know. it's so emo.

these prints are in editions of 25. black ink on white acid free paper, 18x24.
if you're interested in purchasing one before the show, let me know and we can work it out. they're on the cheap side. for the kids.

more to come.
