This is a piece I did for some friends who recently celebrated their fifth anniversary. (Or sort of recently anyway, it's taken me an extremely long time to get it scanned and prep it for shipping)

Ancient Book Show!

The Ancient Book of Sex & Science art show and book release was last weekend and there was a great turn out. I had a great time, and thank you to everyone at Nucleus for the work you did hosting it. Thank you to everyone that came down to the show, it was great meeting all of you.



The show will be up through May 28th, 2009.
Here's one of my pieces from the show...

While I was down for the show I checked out the Marc Davis gallery exhibit at the Forest Lawn Museum in Glendale. I highly recommend going to see this if you can. I was blown away!

Chloe Turns One!!!

Next week my daughter Chloe turns one year old and I did this little painting for her. The funny bunny is coming to town! I love her!

Yuki 7!

I'm thrilled to have been included in the amazing new book coming from Kevin Dart about his character Yuki 7. What I've seen of the book is incredible and I can't wait to get my hands on it! There will be a gallery show and book release party at Gallery Nucleus on July 3rd at 7pm. The book is going to include some guest art and my contribution to the book is this faux pulp fiction cover.

This is the original painting for the cover

Another from the Ancient Book of Sex & Science. I used some molding paste on this one to give it an extreme texture. I'm really happy with the way it all came out.
The gallery show will be opening on May 16th, 2009. Gallery Show Page Here. More info as we get closer to the event. All these pieces will be for sale at the show.

I'm kind of hopping around between styles as I learn how to work with acrylic paint. This one I tried to go loose and I'm pleased with the colors (though it seems these images look different on every computer I look at them on)

I was able to do two more Kurt drawings over the weekend. I'm loving the Kurt drunk page so you better buy it before I change my mind and keep it!
These 3 Kurt pages (these two and the previous post) will be at Scott Morse's booth Red Window Inc. #4800 (p.s. Bill Pressing is sharing that booth and he has an AMAZING book for sale this year. do yourself a favor and check it out!)

Kurt Makes an Appearance

...at the San Diego Comic-Con that is.

10"x14"

here's a detail...

This year Scott Morse will be selling a limited edition print set to promote our next book The Ancient Book of Sex and Science. (Scott Morse, Lou Romano, Nate Wragg, and myself) That book won't be for sale until next year's con so we put together a nice set of 8x10 prints. More on that soon!

I won't be at this year's con (I'll be in Tahoe with my lovely wife and adorable new daughter celebrating our 2 year anniversary!) but besides the print set I decided to do some drawings and give them to Scott to peddle at his table. (he doesn't even know this yet ;-D hehe) I haven't settled on price yet, but it'll be something CHEAP like $40 or $50!

Here's the first, warts and all. Let's see how many I can do by monday... seriously i'm so busy, this might be the only one haha!
It's a Kurt jam. Start in one corner and draw!
I've been obsessively playing this dice game on my iPhone so it looks like Kurt is getting some of the action too.
