Attention LA and NY: it’s the week of GIANT shows!!
First up, the much anticipated Crazy 4 Cult 3D, showing at Gallery 1988 in LA opens this Thursday, July 16th. 100+ artists, cult movies galore, and host ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic ..need I say more? (my piece HERE)
Second, opening this Saturday, July 18th at Giant Robot NY is Dime Bag 3! 225+ of the best artists and illustrators each create artwork that must fit into a 3in x 3in dimebag (my piece HERE).. bound to be crowded AND excellent.

Well as it turns out, the original piece I did for Dime Bag 3 never made its way out of the US Postal Service (which means it is most likely never to be found)! Grrrr. But, luckily I was granted an extension and was able to whip up another tiny 3in x 3in piece.. which I will be delivering in person.
Homesick, 2009
It’s that time of the season, eh!
Crazy 4 Cult is coming up again at Gallery 1988 LA and it’s going to be bigger and better than ever before.. with over 100+ artists taking on the best cult movies of all time and brand new host, the legendary “Weird Al” Yankovic it’s bound to be amazing once again!
This year I decided on one of my guiltiest movie pleasures, Strange Brew. When I was younger, my sisters and I used to rent it from our library for free and would watch it over and over, laughing hysterically.. even though I’m sure we had no idea what we were actually laughing at. Needless to say, I still love me those Canadian, beer-lovin’ McKenzie brothers!
*More info about the opening in LA soon.
I’d like to congratulate one of my favorite people of all time–
my friend, former roomie, and crazy-talented, Evah Fan on getting married this week, to the amazingly gifted artist, Brendan Monroe! There’s so much talent between the two of them that I think this union will probably result in new secret superpowers or something. Happiness!
The wonderful Jordin Isip and Roger Stevens (who are known for curating the best group shows around) are at it again! Dime Bag 3 will feature 200+ artists all doing work that can fit into a 3in x 3in “dimebag” zip-lock bag, and will be displayed in a grid-like format.
This is the 3rd installment of a series that was originally featured in LA and then Brooklyn back in 2002/2003. This time it will be showing at Giant Robot NY in July. Stay tuned for details..

A few photos from the opening of Panorama Project 3, at Jonathan LeVine this past Saturday night. It was really an incredible show.. I still can’t believe how much amazing talent was crammed into one small room! It rained like the devil that night and killed my flash, so high quality these snaps are not..
but you can see all of the goodies up close HERE.
I’m really excited to be a part of Panorama Project 3, a group show curated by Jordin Isip and Rodger Stevens at Jonathan Levine Gallery opening next Saturday, Sept 6th. It will include over 100 artists, ultimately creating one continuous piece. Each artist was give a 7in x 5in board and could do whatever they wanted, as long as there was a predetermined horizon line that could be matched up to the piece on either side of it.
I saw the original Panorama Project back in 2002 (i was the art student pumping the keg and pouring the wine for all attendees) and it was pretty spectacular. I’m sure this will be a MUST SEE as well, especially since a lot of my good friends, including Courtney Wortherspoon, Andrew Degraff, and Evah Fan (to name a few) are in it!
My piece for the show:

i was beyond flattered when brilliant photographer, Ryan Schude, e-mailed me this photograph:
that was inspired by one of my older paintings:
the photo is part of a fashion spread he did for the Brooklyn based magazine, RE:UP.
