So a dog, a portrait, and a sketchbot walk into a bar...

The Sketchbot show is coming! The Sketchbot show is coming! I may have gone overboard with my heatgun and knife...

This is my friend's dog that I was supposed to paint a whiiile back. Painting this made me want to paint a person so I did the one below right after.

I decided to paint on this old cutting board that was laying around. Please donate your old cutting boards to my cause.

Pollycat Painted

You know I'm obsessed with my cat. I just don't understand why you are not too. ;)

And here's something that's not a cat:

A New Pedro

This is my second time painting Pedro. The first was done a few years ago and I will hopefully have more chances to paint him in the future. More paintings later this week.

Sing along:

It's almost the size of my couch

For scale here. Another painting for Rear Naked Choke at Dragatomi.

New hood, new work, new links

The show is coming up, boxes need unpacking, paintings need painting. More on my flickr.

Thanks to AlwaysSEEN, I Heart Cool Stuff, Plastic and Plush, Spanky Stokes, and Vinyl Pulse for posting about the show. Also to Dragatomi for hosting it and posting previews.

Rear Naked Choke

I'm so excited for this event and can't wait for the day, but I can't describe the show any better than how it was already put on the press release. Seriously, go back and click on that......

Welcome back. If the following painting looks familiar, it is because it is based on one of the sculptease pieces from a month ago. More previews have been posted on the Dragatomi blog. Yes you should click on that too and check out some of the work.

Urban Story Tellers

Above is the painting I am submitting to the Angelo Sison curated Urban Story Tellers show at Inkies. As previously mentioned here, the show is opening on November 21st at 7pm.

If you've spoken to me recently, I was probably complaining about moving and the shady management company associated with my old crappy building. I'm almost completely out of there and you can see Polly is as eager to leave as I am.

Buck 50 Brew Art Show

Last Wednesday marked the opening of the Buck 50 Brew Art Show at Pie in Union Square. The place was packed, the buck fifty brew flowed and pie was plenty. It was great to see old friends and meet new ones. I vaguely remember bubbles at the end of the night...

This is Diana Lin along with PIE owner, Jeffrey. One of her works can be seen below.

And on this side, in good company, curator Darkin Brown and one of the paintings he submitted.

And here is that old thing I submitted:

I lost artwork last time a photo like this was taken...

Suckpax Sketchcards

The Suckpax are out straight from SideKick Laboratories and what I am showing you here are 3 of the 15 sketchcards I created for the series. The characters were invented as I sketched along with my goal being to create "Sci-Fi looking" players. 

Be sure to stop by the Suck Store and grab a handful of packs/boxes. Promo video below is awesome. I want a gunshot distressed card!

November Events

The next few weeks are gonna be hectic for me as I prepare for the following events while moving from my current Midwood apartment to one in Carroll Gardens. Biting more than I can chew as always... here's where you should be if you don't want to be square:

The first is a solo show at Dragatomi in Sacramento on the 14th. I will have some nice surprises for this show and more info will be released in the weeks to come. I'm looking forward to heading over there as I've been itching to temporarily get out of NY for a while now.

I will also be hanging out in the Dragatomi booth during Designer Con (formerly VTN or Vinyl Toy Network) on the 21st.



And on the night of the 21st, starting at 7pm, the Urban Story Tellers show will be opening in Inkies. Thanks to Angelo Sison for a great job in curating this event. I will take pics of my piece before I send it out.

Urban Story Tellers will feature work by : Lil'Japan, Mark Navalero, Joey Boy, Orly Locqulao, Rowel Alfelor, Peap Tarr, Paul Shih, Patrick Francisco, Troy Stith, Anthony Catubig, Pellet, Tony Ancheta, Karl Vittali and Oliver Ocampo.
