2010-11-21T08:46:00.000-08:00

If you haven't had the chance or opportunity to see the art show yet, you have ten more days to check it out. Thanks to the fine folk at The Other Side Cafe for hosting the goods for me.

Art Show Opening Tomorrow Night!

2010-11-02T16:56:00.000-07:00

The time is nigh so let's get our Mayflower IPA on and check out some doodles over draughts. I swear it will be good times. (Drawings,by the way, make excellent X-Mas/Channukah gifts. Just sayin'.)
The Other Side Cafe
407 Newbury Street
"This Will be Pretty"
Nov. 1-30
Opening: Wednesday Nov. 3rd 9pm-1am

HAVE MAT WILL TRAVEL

2010-10-23T08:15:00.000-07:00

Oh boy am I not good at cutting mats. And now I have a little over a week to successfully mat 19 pieces for the big opening. Here's to hoping I don't open an artery. Also, adequately pricing the pieces is proving to be a particularly odd endeavor.

"This Will Not Be Pretty" Opening Wednesday Nov. 3rd at 9pm

2010-10-20T11:52:00.000-07:00

"This Will Not Be Pretty", a collection of some recent drawings will be shown at the Other Side Cafe from Nov. 1st - Nov. 30th. An opening of sorts will be held on Wednesday, November 3rd from 9pm til 1am.
And by opening I mean I will be there drinking Allagash.

IT'S BEEN AWHILE

2010-06-27T06:23:00.000-07:00

HARPO LIVES!

2010-02-27T10:35:00.000-08:00

I can't help but think it's a little weird when people make overly self-flattering portraits of themselves. But then it's not entirely un-weird to go the other route and make yourself look like a bloated blonde mess from 30's movie arcana.

THE END IS NEAR-ISH

2010-02-21T06:34:00.000-08:00

I've been working on a graphic novel since sometime in late 2002/early 2003 (albeit very sporadically) and now, finally, the end is in sight. Probably a month left of work to go. At 86 pages and counting, it will feel good to finally move onto the next project once this beast is put to rest. I just hope that it makes sense and has a somewhat coherent storyline.

WE'RE GONNA NEED A BIGGER VOTE

2010-01-19T09:27:00.000-08:00

If you live in the fine state of Massachusetts, do yourself (and the rest of the Health Care-needing public) a solid and vote for Martha Coakley today. Don't let Scott Brown and his transparently fake folksy-ness deprive the people of that. If you want to know where to go vote, look here.

BOLDLY, WE GO PROMOTING

2010-01-14T06:31:00.000-08:00

In case there was a lack of music in your life, I humbly offer this little record I recorded a little while back.

Get it here.

"DRAW DRAWINGS EVERY DAY" EXHIBIT THIS SATURDAY JANUARY 9TH FROM 6PM-9PM.

2010-01-04T19:31:00.000-08:00

Just sayin.

Info about the event and details on the fine folk who are running the deal here.

Hope to see you there,

THIS WILL NOT BE PRETTY

2010-01-03T16:29:00.000-08:00

This is the second drawing that is being shown in an exhibit next week. Details for said show are here. I feel that she is judging me.

WE HAVE WAYS OF RELAXING

2010-01-03T15:00:00.000-08:00

Apparently mauve is the chromatic theme of snow days. I haven't left the house all day, which I see as a good thing.

GOOD MUSIC IS HARD TO FIND.

2010-01-02T14:02:00.000-08:00

I came across this band Black Vatican somewhere and it's pretty great, noisy stuff. Of course, that could be the wine talking. It's great to draw to, at least.

Listen to "I Don't Want To Fight" as a gift from moi.

AULD LANG FINE!

2010-01-01T19:22:00.000-08:00

New Year's Day has arrived on our snowy doorstep with all of the trappings one would expect; namely, lingering hangovers and a shaky sense of obligation to undo the bad habits of the year just passed.

In my new endeavor to fret less and do more I have been forcing myself to sit still and draw which seems a little backwards but oh well. This dashing fox is (im)patiently waiting through the commercial break to be introduced as the next guest on "The Bonnie Hunt Show". I don't know why he's so annoyed; it's not Bonnie's fault that he got up late and had to rush to the studio, forgetting his favorite scarf at home.

This drawing, along with another, are going to be part of a drawing show next weekend (details here).
