Just got back from phoenix. I love my desert tribe. Thinking I’ll visit Spokane next. Anyone up there got a chair to fill?

Just some images from the show. So fucking good.

Mood Area 52…another one of my favorite local bands here.

If you like the kind of stuff I like you should check them out.

I like their stuff so much…I’ve got all the CDs. They’re great live but just as good to listen to while you’re sitting around waiting for dinner to cook, having a moment of reverie or just when you feel like hearing some sweet cello accordion gravel-voiced tango.

art opening

Had a great time at the Unfine Art’s 8th anniversary.

I had a piece hanging in the show—

I enjoyed Honey Vizer’s reading of the manifesto to Shawn’s awesome sax madness—

The Ninkasi and some of the food was delicious—

And I even had an attractive date to bring with me, who was willing to help re-build a bucky ball, and discuss the PNW-china connection with some strangers.

All in all a successful evening.

ART OPENING!

arrowfishI’ll be participating in a show at The Unfine Art Museum downtown in Eugene!!!
The opening is tomorrow (first friday, dontcha know) at 6, there will be live music and refreshments, and some of my newer work (lots of ORANGE, lots of pen and INK)

Come on by and say hello, listen and look! I’ll be down there until about eight, hanging out, eating all the refreshments, and listening to some awesome tunes.

Most of my work will be priced a bit lower for this show, since I love the Unfine, and want everyone to come by and get a piece. My work will be hanging until May 14, so if you can’t make the opening you can stop by and check it out til then!

Thanks everyone, see you there!

BIRTHDAY

A republican chick that I knew way long ago got me banned from facebook for my birthday. Wasn’t that nice of her? Doesn’t this make you agree more with her point of view?

At any rate I am having my birthday tomorrow and with any luck I will be going to pet lemurs! I LOVE LEMURS.

If you were trying to tell me something on that facebook stuff, just leave it here. You don’t have to join anything to leave a comment. Just click on “comments” below this post (and type any old thing into the name and email fields)

I had a great birthday, mud slide and all.

What a great weekend! Lots of awesome art, prank wars getting started, screwdrivers and paintings. I had a wonderful time, and I also had one of the best valentine’s days ever. The Vancouver show is really fun. I’ve worked it a bunch of years in a row now. Felicia is super sweet and she’s in charge, and Scott does the announcing and contests.

,This year they had a pirate theme, personally I think that should be the theme every damn year, since the hotel is pretty much built for it. The hotel bar has the shittiest music loud ever, every damn night, the worst service, the weakest drinks…but the whole thing is built to look like you are drinking on the deck of a tall pirate ship…so who fuckin cares??? Plus there’s a slew of great artists every year.

Vancouver itself is a gritty little industrial ghost town. I took some time to wander it this year and discovered a wealth of weird industry and strange buildings, pawn shops selling giant 1930’s machine guns (sadly, non functional) and a few odd spots around town. It’s not exactly a haven of beauty but it is a weird little town and fully deserving of the few hours it took me to roam and take some pictures.

It’s the unofficial tradition that everyone goes to the crab shack on sunday after the show ends, and has a bucket of crabs and some beers. This alone make sthe show worth going to, since the raucous atmosphere of a cheeseball crab restaurant after hours cannot be explained- especially when you roll in to a crowd of starving tattooing artists all sitting around fucking with each other. The service in that place, by the way, is excellent.
