FOUND

I'm always picking up things off the ground and so I've started documenting them. Keep checking here to see new additions.

Dustpan 01

I'll upload a good scan of this, but for now a quick digital shot.
something I'm working on in the moleskin with watercolor paper that I got from the Grindstaffs.

Kaneko in Omaha

I am really excited about the Kaneko project initiated by the internationally-known artist, Jun Kaneko. He has kept his studio in downtown Omaha despite many opportunities to move elsewhere, namely Japan. His works are huge! Recently, I've taken a few tours of the in-progress facilities that are The Kaneko . Here are some photos I took.

Meander Exhibition: May 24, 2008

I will be participating in a collaborative exhibition in Minneapolis this May. Fifteen artists have been chosen to work together in the amazingly rustic gallery space of the Soap Factory. Our theme is 'meander'. I'll be up in Minneapolis working on this show from May 19 to the 24th, so look me up!

T-shirt Idea

I'm working on some designs for shirts and came up with this one.

Black and White Vid

Here's something I made in attempt to combine multiple video projects. It's cut to an audio track I made a while back.

Hecadecimal release on Future:Komp

My friend Josh (aka:Heckadecimal) just released some tracks, free to download, at www.futurekomp.net. He asked me to create his album artwork and I gleefully agreed. I love his music, the sounds, the approach, the meandering tempos. Check it out!

Goldfish

I painted these recently. There was a time when my obsession with ornamental carp was out of hand. I'm better now.

My Flickr page

I posted some images on my new Flickr page.

Mother Earth Gardens Shirt

I'm excited to show off these shirts. I made the illustration for my friends' neighborhood garden center in Minneapolis, Mother Earth Gardens.

Engaged

I recently got engaged to Daphne Eck, the most wonderful girl I've ever met!
Here are some pics of the rings (yeah, I sweetened the deal with two rings instead of one). The rockish looking one is a small piece of meteorite.
