August

So if you didn't know me, you'd probably think that I've been being totally lazy this whole month, and perhaps that wouldn't be completely out of line. I've been fishing as much as I can make it, and I've been going to a lot of coffee shops lately, but believe it or not I've just been in the thinking process on a couple big projects.

First off I am working on a project with my bro Mattie from San Fran. Once it has been more completed, I will fill you in more. Suffice it to say for now that it is poetry and painting marrying and having a tumultuous relationship.

Second I've been working on a label for a new type of beer that Baron Brewing Company is putting out in November.


Third I've been working on a book cover for the Microscopic Giant a zine that will be coming out shortly. When I am finished with the cover I will throw it up here.

Fourth I finished a painting for a show at the Hive in California in the month of September.

And here's a random sketch for a character in the Naked Lunch.

Let me know what you think.

Until then.

During my visit home...

I learned that one of my dad's very good friends has been very ill. It is rough knowing that people that you remember being so healthy and energetic, are now for lack of better words, old. Every time I go home to see my parents, I can see a difference. But apparently, "the pirate", the nickname we use for my dad's friend, is really not doing so well. so this drawing is what I came up with while thinking about "the pirate".

Hope you feel better soon, Dave.

Who Wants to Skip work and go fishing?

So last night was a pretty productive night. I worked two paintings from the beginning to halfway. I also went to fred meyer and got fishing lures. (Mepp's Anglias) It's going to be a good night tonight. I am going fishing as soon as I finish work. If you need me I will be on the pier at Golden Gardens.

But I suppose if people come here, they are not looking for my news on fishing, though if I catch something you can bet there will be a picture of it up here. In the meantime, here are a couple more pieces for your viewing pleasure.

The television ideas have been coming to me again. In fact I think for one I am going to do a bunch of pieces that are just single tvs, so that everyone can by a new tv for their house. I feel like everyone always wants a new tv, and I assure you all of my tvs allow you to view in HD.

Hopefully this doesn't happen for a while, but you can't deny that someday it will, and the only people happy about it will be trekkies.
