Indiscriminate Behavior

As promised, here's the CD art for the newest tunes for Indiscriminate Behavior's "The ESK Project"-- Keith Kesler, Eric Pagan, and myself. It's the first time I've experimented in a group that is jazzy/pop-ish/beat-based. A true departure from my solo folk, and indie band experiences. Please check out our latest music via the link below. CD is available, as well as more music from this group (soon to come)...

Some recent artwork along with a gift from Iceland (below the painting)...The gift was given to me by my friend Amie, after I made the artwork! I just loved the fact that they felt like they came from the same line of thought... Here is a link to Vik Prjonsdottir's exhibitions. The outfit is made based on local Icelandic folklore:

I suggest taking a look at the video at the bottom of the exhibitions page. Although it is in French, I highly recommend! Incredibly interesting.
