Just sent to me this week from Last Rites Gallery is this latest flyer for my upcoming exhibition, which is apparently now being called a solo show.  Anyone who knows me well enough knows how I get while being made into the center of attention, so I guess this opening night reception just got a little more interesting.  If you're in the area come out and experience a bit of the awkwardness for yourself.  But really, all jokes aside, I'm looking forward to it and to seeing some of you there.

In other news, just released this month by some friends of mine at Triple Crown Tattoo here in Austin, Texas is a giant art book called Coquille Or Be Killed!, which features black and white renderings by hundreds of tattoo artists, on the unique coquille paper surface.  I have a piece included in the book.  Find out more on the project and order a copy at www.coquilleorbekilled.com

Hey everyone, just a reminder that my split show in NYC is coming up in 2 weeks, with the opening reception set for 7pm on Saturday, February 6th.  See www.lastritesgallery.com for more info.  Pre-show response to the series of new paintings I completed over the past year has been positive so far, with a few of the pieces already being sold.  Come to the opening and say hi, and see the work in person.  Afterwards, it will be posted to my website, along with extensive writings on the symbolism and themes, to help add a deeper dimension to the work for any who are curious.

Also, just added to my skin gallery are the tattoos I did on my recent trip to Australia.  Thanks to all the amazing and friendly people I met, hung out with, or stayed with over there. I had such an awesome time and hope to be back again in the not too distant future.
