wormface, moving, drawgasmic + fine art prints.

pens, ink, chalk + tea on watercolor paper

I found an apartment. The current tenant's in the process of moving out, so I have to wait to move in. Hopefully I'll get the call that it's all mine by this weekend, 'cause I'm antsy and want to get this over with. Life right now has been packing, cleaning, yard sales, packing, going through things in storage, freaking out, packing, a thousand cups of strong black tea, True Blood and Lost marathons while drawing until my fingers fall off and brief, blissful moments of unconsciousness punctuated by crazy dreams involving pie and the Civil War. And did I mention packing? It is amazing how you never realize just how much stuff you own until you have to put it in boxes, and I even left a lot of my things packed up from the last time I moved. The bulk of it is books. I have so so many books, and yet, not enough...

In other news, the Drawgasmic show is coming up in a couple of days. If you're in the St. Louis area, do check it out. I won't be going, of course, but I wish I could. If you can't make it either and by any chance want to purchase my drawing, you'll be able to do so online.

Also, I now have some canvas fine art prints available from the Lowbrow Art Company. Go check them out here. And while you're there, check out all the other artists. Lots of good stuff there.

more prints!

A few folks have wondered if was going to make some of my older works available as prints and the answer to that is, Why yes!

I have updated my shop with several new prints of work both new and old. Of the old drawings, deadhead and little accidents look especially nice, if I do say so myself.

prints good! life good!

Getting my first print order ready to go out tomorrow. Frankenstein's monster is my spokesmodel. I sold these through Facebook. No sales over at etsy, yet, but I added some more prints today anyway. (EDIT: shortly after this post, I made my first etsy sale!) Consider purchasing them.

I have abandoned this painting but I'm going to get back at it soon.

Last night's episode of Taboo on National Geographic was about death, and it was fascinating. It also kind of confirmed for me that, while I still think about it from time to time, my decision not to go to mortuary school was the right one. Maybe because there are more interesting things people can have done with their remains than traditional burial or cremation. You can donate your corpse to Body Worlds, for example. I'd really love to go to one of these exhibitions.

There was another segment I was really interested in about South Korea's Coffin Academy, where people can go to experience what their funerals would be like in order to get a fresh take on being alive. This is probably as close to having something like Chicken Soup for the Soul as it gets for me.

etsy, etc.

My etsy shop is up and running!


Hello, February. I've been holed up painting and watching The X Files..all things going according to plan.

January book list:
Neuromancer by William Gibson
When You Are Engulfed in Flames by David Sedaris
Boneshaker by Cherie Priest
The Road by Cormac McCarthy

All excellent and recommended.

no soup for you.

Prints! I'm conducting an experiment to see if people will buy them. I've already sold some through Facebook, so so far it's been a success. I'm looking into setting up an etsy shop here in the next couple of days as well. We'll see how that goes.

I've been out of commission since Friday. I have back troubles sometimes, you see, and spent most of the weekend curled up in the fetal position, watching the National Geographic Channel, wishing someone would make me soup so I wouldn't have to move. I ended up being that someone. Isn't that sad?

Also, the new CG Smokey Bear is fucking terrifying.
