Acquisition

I just received a new piece to add to my growing art collection, “Human Refuse” by Colin Johnson. Colin makes the most intricately detailed collages that I have ever witnessed. He refers to them as “hyper collages”, and hyper is right! I am quite pleased. Quite pleased. Thank you Colin!

Christoph Ruckhäberle speaks at the Frye

I have fallen in love with Christoph Ruckhäberle’s work recently and was excited to hear that he will be speaking tonight at the Frye Art Museum here in Seattle. So if you get a chance go see him speak and see his phenomenal works, I recommend. The entire exhibit is outstanding. March 29th at 7:00pm. Tickets are free and will be available at 6:00pm.

February 17 – June 3, 2007

New upcoming show in May

Greetings!
I am happy to report that I will be sharing some wall space with a couple of my favorite buddies at a show in Portland in May. Dennis Hayes, Kristian Olson and myself will be exhibiting at the beautiful Compound Gallery in Downtown Portland. I will provide more details as the date approaches so keep an eye out.

Furthermore, I finished a new piece last evening that will be included in the exhibit.

Shoes and Shirt

So I made some black and white graphics for ADIO Limited Projects which now grace a pair of sneakers and a hoodie. I’m pretty happy with how they turned out and am looking forward to getting my own to wear.
