ELBOW DEAD


Dislocated and broke my elbow for the third time within this last year. Surgery is inevitable now. Had a great time in Denver up until the last 3 days when my arm blew the fuck up while warming up at the Denver Park. After setting it again, I nursed my self with some booze and an old sling from my friend Nick's girlfriend who'd just gotten over a broken wrist. All seemed alright until a couple days went by and my arm hinge doubled in width and pain, thats when I learned I broke it all to shit too. I'll be getting a cadaver achilles tendon or two in there and officially be part zombie, oh well that's why I'm an organ donor.


There's a lot of bone floaters in here right now.

A DISTRACTION FROM FLOWERS - SAN DIEGO


Well, I spent 2 late nights throwing up a mural for my "A Distraction from Flowers" 4 person show at Distinction Gallery that included Aaron Kraten, Gabe Leonard, and Sake. Melissa at Distinction is awesome she hooked up a sale one of my pieces to the Dorothy Circus Gallery in Rome for their private collection. Check out some further coverage on the Juxtapoz site here.

Here's a pic of my mural getting started. I always forget to get the paint shaken and end up stirring for an hour or so. The black wasn't opaque enough so I had to go over all the black twice. Ah well, beer was supplied and it was good to focus on something creative while remembering Beau.

This was hung on my friend Chad's fridge


Yikes...

This was my first time shooting guns indoors since my hunter safety course when I was 12. Its kind of weird, loud, and expensive. Still kind of fun though-good call Chad.


Jack Darnell and Sarah Brown, long time friends and my dog Billie's other dad. Sara had a little eye accident so we send her a little package including this sexy eyepatch.


This is what happens when Billie doesn't have me around. Doggie fashion shows, like whoa.

Billie has a way better life in SD with Jack. They live right across from Balboa Park and really close to its dog park. They also take her to Dog Beach a couple times a week. 10 years old and still killin' it.

ECO-ART SHOW & LA...AGAIN

Had this here group show at Pitzer College in Claremont (1 hr east of LA). Yay.




Decided to make a trip out of it and stay with Jim Darling and Tina Anderson whilst I was down there. This is Tina looking at boobs:

Tina made this whole table.


I had to get started on some pieces for my upcoming 4 person show at Distinction Gallery, so I grabbed up some floor space. Its nice to work in a space with a hairless floor (from cats, dogs, and maybe a little from me).
