commissions, customs, prints?...... 
i guess this is less news and more of a heads-up. if anyone is interested in a custom or commissioned work, feel free to contact me with your inquiry. right now my schedule is a little busy, but i am taking commissions. it may take a little time, but what i can do is add whatever piece you may be interested into my workflow for upcoming shows. also, if anyone is interested in a print, just let me know. i'll be glad to talk to you about creating a print, framed or unframed, from any of my miserable works.

mailing list! mailing list! omg, am i being professional?... 
hey all... for a while now i've been wanting to start a mailing list, but never had the audacity to think that anyone would be interested. well, at this point i've gotten several requests for a mailing list, so i guess it's time to start. thanks to everyone who digs my stuff enough to want to keep up with the news of odd!
if you're interested in being on the mailing list, just fill out the contact form here and just fill in "mailing list" in the subject box for now. i'll work on getting a mailing list form set up soon!

new apparel and product, i swear!... 
right! so i know i keep talking about the expansion of the apparel and product line. i swear, i'm working on it! with the economy being as it has, it's been a bit of a mission gathering the flow to do the type of merch at the quality i like to maintain. so, what i am working on right now is a wholesale catalog. though still in the formative stages with this, what i'm looking to do is work with retailers; helping to advertise and promote the merchandise. doing things like exclusive colors or designs or limited prints that tie into the apparel designs, etc. of course i will still vend certain items as website exclusives from my site, but for the most part, the shop section of the site will now point to retailers shops who carry said merch. (did i make any sense with all this?) if you do have a shop, and may be interested in what i'm rambling about, contact me here and i'll be happy to try and make sense of this word jumble.

terribly small series starts nov. 29th @ bear and bird!!!... 
starting at the "small stuff 2" show at bear and bird, i'll be kicking off the "terribly small" series. terribly small is sort of my way of making limited edition prints, cept these are handmade mini-works. the way the series is gonna work is pretty simple. each month for the next year i'll be releasing a tiny (3x6x6inch) reproduction of the more requested works i've done. every release will run in an edition size of 12 pieces, sell for $95 and will either be available at various shops/galleries or directly through my site. the first edition in the series will be "moloko vellocet," my ode to clockwork orange. here's a peek at em.

new tate's "torso art" t-shirt design... 
as you guys prolly know by now, i owe a world of thanks to tate and amanda at tate's comics/bear and bird boutique + gallery... so i'm really excited to be designing the next "torso art" t-shirt coming this spring. this should be a lot of fun! hope my design doesn't disappoint!

2 exclusive shirts coming to pink ghost!... 
after the poe folks show, i was flattered to have the good people of pink ghost ask if i would design a shirt based on the "Poe: mad quills" piece from the show. also, i am working on a new piece (not themed to poe's work) which will also be translated into a new shirt for pink ghost as well. what i hope to do is release this new work on the same day as the shirt based on it... kinda make a mini-event out of it. either way, both of these shirts will only be available at pink ghost!
......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

poe folks blew me away!... 
on october 25, the lovely people of pink ghost hosted the "poe folks" solo show... and the response was far better than i had anticipated. these works were much more personal than any i'd done prior, so the extremely positive reception meant more than i can say. thanks to all who came out and to all who purchased my meager attempts at translating the work of poe into miserable work. if you're interested, you can check some photos of the works and setup here.

i absolutely suck at updating!... 
first, let me start by apologizing for being so lax in my upkeep. even though my complete absence from the site would lead you to believe nothing's been going on, in fact, it's quite the opposite... still, it's no excuse for what amounts to my being lazy and an overall loser.
......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

not dead, just buried.. 
hey all, wanted to update here briefly and letcha know that i'm still breathing. been hard at work on new works in new directions, really happy with the process. also been putting together an apparel line, hopefully that will keep moving along. more info on that soon. also, i have a few new works i'll be adding to the gallery real soon.
