DALMATIA RESIDENCY FUNDRAISER

On Thursday I will be taking part in a fundraiser for an artist residency in Croatia that Andrew and I will be attending later on this summer... I'll be donating a big screenprint and maybe some smaller lithos, and Andrew will be donating a pen and ink drawing. the work will be sold via silent auction...

Here is the email that my friend Srdjan (the co-ordinator of the residency) sent out regarding the fundraiser...



Dear friends,

I would like to invite you to attend ART RESIDENCY:
Dalmatia - a silent auction exhibition and fundraiser in
support of the inaugural artist residency I am co-ordinating
in Croatia this summer.

The evening will take place at Headbones Gallery on
Thursday, April 23, from 6-9 pm, with artwork at affordable
prices, Balkan food and music, and information presented
about the residency.

I hereby thank my artist colleagues and friends who have
been donating their work and time in support of this fundraiser. I look forward to seeing you.

Today is my birthday, which is pretty good I guess, especially because it means that instead of working in the studio I can go watch The Watchmen without very much guilt... :)

The good news is that later today I'll finish the butterfly drawing, I have one butterfly left to draw. In the last 16 months I've drawn 20 009 butterflies... I think that's a lot...

In closing, here's a photo of me today (april 1st 2009) and one taken exactly 26 years ago (april 1st 1983). I think I look a lot older... and hairier... and less excited about cake...


I'll post pictures of the butterfly drawing soon...

Jamiyla!

My girlfriend Jamiyla just set up a blog for her illustration and screen prints... I really love her work, and that's not because we are dating, for about 5 years before we dated, even before we were friends, I loved her work...

Anyway, please check it out, and if you are into it, please leave a comment or follow it...

Here are a few of her drawings, and a mushy/gross photo of us from last summer...

I just went through my old posts and labeled them, so now you can search the blog by category...

Art Paris

I'm lucky enough to be involved with Art Paris coming up, a great fair that my gallery in Marseille, Dukan & Hourdequin will be representing me in....

It runs from March 19th- 23th, so, uh, if anyone from Paris reads this go check it out... But I've checked my stats on here and I don't think anyone from Paris actually reads this...


Here is a link to the fair, and here are a few of the pieces I made for it... I've posted some of them on the blog before, I won't put them all up, but here are the majority of them...

Taiwan Magazines

I just got these in the mail, a book and a magazine that I was featured in in Taiwan... Thankyou to the people at DPI for getting me involved with these...








Here is a crop of another new drawing, I have a bunch of pieces going to Paris this week for the ArtParis fair... I'll post more of the images and info about the fair next post...
