These parties are always so much fun. Nice Try will be especially radical for a number of reasons… get your fingers out and lets go over them. You will be able to drink free beer, groove to sultry soul sounds by the great “DJ Gibb, buy T-shirts to customize with our designs, buy affordable artwork we are working on right now, AND you’ll be able to laugh at us…. right in front of us.

You can see more details and reserve a free shirt here.

Here are a couple of glimpses into us hard at work.

On a super nerdy side note – Jeremy was recently at OKMT Studios and though I didn’t meet him, our vehicles got to spend some time together. How rad is that van!?!

Here is the piece I made for the Mix N Mash show. Click here to view the process shots.

Tomorrow the Maranda Pleasant Gallery will be holding their annual 12×12 box show with every piece priced at $100 . Some of the proceeds will go to Explore Austin. There is no cover for this exhibit and you can even go before the madness from 10am to 6pm to do some early purchasing. The party is from 6pm to 10pm. A few friends will be showing work here as well including: Jeremy Burks, Will Bryant, and Zach McDonald. Apparently 25 pieces have already sold! So go, go, GOOOO!

Stay warm this weekend err’body.

Almost immediately after she decided she would dress up as Starlite she started telling Giselle that she could dress up as Lala Orange and that I should be Buddy Blue. These are 2 of the other characters in the Rainbow Brite books that she loves so much. They are part of the Colored Kids gang. Sounds pretty controversial, right? It’s pretty innocent, I think. Here is what the Colored Kids look like, with Lala and Buddy circled.

Last year for halloween I looked like I was ready to hit up the gay clubs and this year shouldn’t be any different. Giselle will probably look very beautiful, as usual.

She’s going to love me for posting that.

Oh one last thing, tomorrow night at Domy Books I will be showing a couple drawings for their annual Monster Show. Daily Juice will be there providing delicious potent punches. Mmmmmm. You should make it a point to stop by to see all the spooky monsters that will be on the walls. Here is what my drawings will look like tomorrow night, though they should have less-to-no grass behind them.

My favorite piece in the show was by none other than my good buddy, Jeremy Burks. He is what they call “mad talented.”

Here is the drawing I did for the show.

you can view more photos from the opening night and other fabulous art submissions here. Big thank you to John Gomi and the rest of The Fifth Gallery.

Here is a picture I was able to find of the pieces I made for the show.

BIG thanks to Maseman, The Screamer Company, Chris Apollo Lynn, and, again, to everybody that came out.

I saw some of the other pieces that will be in the show today when I dropped off my pieces and, boy, are they good!

It was so much fun getting some pieces together for this show. Here are some sneak peeks of the work I did.

I hope to see you on the 25th!

That’s some good stuff! Here is the complete list of the other artists participating in the show:

My buddy Ariel Erestingcol just had an art show in Los Angeles. Ariel is a unique dude with tons of creativity and awesome theories about art and beyond. I wish I could have made it out to his opening but I could not. So, really, I can’t write about his show. However, the great Arlo Eisenberg, creator of streetwear line GOST , gives a great little review right over here.

And for his subject matter he chose people (and animals) who have achieved some measure of fame, dubious or otherwise, through the internet.  Hence the name of the show, “CeWEBrities.”

Congratulations Ariel. The work looks great! The show runs through May 30th at the Sabina Lee Gallery.

New Image Art Gallery is turning 15 and to celebrate they’re having the best art show on earth. If you’re in the L.A. area this saturday and want to see magic on walls you need to go to this!! Our friend Matthew Rodriguez got invited to be in this show at the last minute. I stopped by the night before he flew out to L.A. Here are some pictures of some of his work. 

This is an art critic that was going to try to go check out the show on Saturday. Everytime I see this puppet he is far from sober. He told me he lost his legs in Nam.

Also he just got his etsy store up. Click here to check out his bag.
