skate deck update... finished!

woot! was able to get the last bit of work wrapped up on the skate deck yesterday. so here are some pics of how it turned out. i know these aren't the greatest pics, but by the time i finished up yesterday, it was a little too dark to snap off any good shots, so i just shot some with my personal cam this morning. sandra will be here later today and will work her camera magic - i'll post those pics up as well... although you'll all probably be pretty sick of looking at this thing by then.


completed body of deck... pretty happy with how this worked out.

for some of this right now....

mmm, sweet potato pie...

skate deck progress... almost there

right. so, as i posted on my site a little back, i'll be taking part in an upcoming (may 21st) show called "useless wooden toys." the show will take place at a slick new shop here in orlando, forty VII clothing and is centered around artwork on skate decks. if i remember correctly, 30 decks will be submitted for this artshow/design competition, the top ten of which will go on to be made into t-shirt designs under the "forty VII brand. (that's why you'll notice a "47" in my design, it's part of the guidelines :o)>) the top vote getter of said bunch gets an extra sweet deal in the form of a shopping spree at forty VII.

seeing as this is a pretty cool concept for the show, and not wanting to submit complete crap, i started the concept for my deck a little while back. i knew that i wanted to a somewhat military-ish theme with my design... so i drafted hannibal of carcinogen for the job. the rest kinda fell into place once i decided to use the little gasmask wearing bastard.

anyways, i'll quit with the yappin' and letcha peep the pics now... oh yeah, thanks to cassandra m. for being so lovely and taking such sweeth pics.

thanks for checkin in,

fx 2009 was amazing!

this past weekend, i had the pleasure of being one of the invited guests at fx 2009's project vinyl. it was a great opportunity to meet other artists like buff monster, ron english, peekaboo monster, angry woebots and kano... all of which i've got lots of respect for. i guess you could say that it was an honor enough to be part of this group, but to have gained the respect of these artists is something completely different. it's not to say that i value their opinion more than anyone elses, but it's a great thing when you feel you've earned the respect of those you have respect for.

aside from that came plenty of other bits of goodness, some of which i can't really discuss just yet... but lets just say it'll be worth waiting on. it's funny when an event like this turns into so much more than what you would have expected. thanks again to all of you who came out to say hello. and respect to buff, ron, woebots, peekaboo and kano.

check some pics here.

anxious to check this out!

i've said this plenty of times before, so i'll say it once more... i'm a huge fan of michel gondry's work. now couple that with japan as an integral character in his upcoming film, tokyo! and yeah... it's pretty simple to figure that sandra and i are anxious as hell to see this!!!



poop!

vinyl abuse post...

a good friend of mine, jonathan, submitted the info for my upcoming "terribly oddio" show to vinyl abuse and they posted it. i know it's not earth shaking news, but it always is nice when people find merit in what i do.

thanks all, and thanks j.

where the wild things are :o)>

so here's a little something to start with. a couple of you may have figured this out by now, but "where the wild things are" has long been my favorite book. ( so much so, in fact, i was in the process of putting together a show based on it) i know that's a funny thing to say being a grown man... but i've always held the thought that children's books are some of the best told stories out there. chalk it up to their simplicity, or maybe i'm just a fool for pretty pictures. either way, here's a look a the upcoming film.

i've gotta be honest and say that when i first heard about the film, i was underwhelmed. another lame attempt at turning something amazing into a quick buck... then i heard about spike jones directing and thought "maybe they're gonna get it right?" judging by the trailer, it looks like they did. me happy. let the wild rumpus begin.
