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.

Wow, and good luck continuing on with the contest!! Very exciting...

Urban Outfitters

This was fun to see. Urban Outfitters contacted me to sell prints via their web thru S6:

You can buy my large giclee print at Urbanoutfitters.com here (also as a laptop skin, iphone and ipod skin). Urban has teamed up with Apple to create these cool skins with original artwork for people to buy.

Too bad my laptop needs to be fixed, and I don't own an iphone. If you DO own an ipod/iphone, look into buying my skin:)

My friend Shel-Lyons (Michele Woodruff, as I have been calling her since the 6th grade) has some recent interesting articles out on childbirth and reproductive rights (from her organization, the Mothers' Rights Network). You will be surprised how many rights women (mothers-to-be) do not have when it comes to their own childbirth. Above was for a recent article written about the "a-word" (abortion). I interpret her experience of the "a-word" as a modern day Scarlet Letter for women, taboo even amongst women's rights advocates and childbirth reformers... For all updated information at her blog go to Mother's & Fathers' Rights at mothersrights.blogspot.com.

This piece titled "Melting" was accepted into the Society of Illustrators 52 show! (The same piece that is in this years AI)... I received a phone call from Kate Feirtag from SI letting me know the good news, which was a very nice personal touch from the Society. Be sure to check it out with all the other amazing entrees in the 52 annual!

Check out my sculptures on the Fly Girl website, posted way back in March (sorry it took so long to post this!)...

We Heart It

2009-10-01T06:42:00.000-07:00

Check out We Heart it, I just found my artwork there (dj turn table scupture), randomly hearted by some of the users.

I will be posting updates on new sculptures (some ceramic). Stay tunned...

The Accordion

2009-10-01T02:57:00.000-07:00

I silk screened this piece a while ago, it's really large, so when it gets small all the details seem to look squished together (you'll have to view it large to see detail).

Check out this image in the next AI-28--American Illustration--book (selected image) coming out later this year! Also please check out some shirt designs I recently did for a company called Green Goods (an eco-friendly shirt company) who are selling to Barneys on my graphics blog.

I am really happy to have another illustration in the AI annual as it is quite an honor to be picked...I especially liked that they chose this particular piece of mine for both the book and web.

I will be posting some new silkscreens I'm making currently as well, so keep checking this blog for updates....

NEW YORK SI51

2009-03-10T18:44:00.000-07:00

So I finally made it out to NY, for Society of Illustrators 51. As I mentioned earlier I was completely surprised to have won the gold medal in Uncommissioned work, as this is the first time I have ever entered.

Here is me being a dork by my piece in the gallery...

I may have been the 1st medalist that was so fresh to the annual that the winning piece was a piece I made as a student, and I wish I could have done more research and prepared something with more substance to say when I had the chance (during the speech in which I was utterly unprepared for). Thank you to the Society of Illustrators for this award, recognition, and opportunity in my very early stages of my career. I could not have asked for anything more to start off my journey as an illustrator.

Also ate at The Palm Restaurant (the original location). If you're a fan of any kind of aged steak (or any kind of crab) this is the place for you...Thought it was fitting as they were known, when 1st established, to give spaghetti in exchange for Editorial artists decorating their walls with illustrations. Too bad they didn't trade any of my artwork for my steak!

Silkscreens

2009-02-26T12:47:00.000-08:00

Made some more art with silkscreening/painting/digital...

Needed pieces for upcoming contests and am making new mailers.

SOCIETY OF ILLUSTRATORS 51

2008-11-17T19:36:00.000-08:00

I got a phone call about being accepted into Society of Illustrators 51 annual (the NY edition)! This is extremely exciting for me as it is the 1st annual I have submitted to since graduating...and to make things even better, they awarded me the Gold Medal in my division for "Uncommissioned" (work), which I am Stunned, utterly Shocked, and Sooo incredibly very grateful for... The shocking news definately made my day, to say the very least!

Thanks to the Society of Illustrators for giving me this great opportunity and award! I am most fortunate to have had this happen:)!

OPRAH!

2008-04-27T14:29:00.000-07:00

An update on my friend Andrea's Oprah experience...she was recently on Oprah as a guest person in a cooking contest which was crazy to hear! (Thats her in the Oprah Apron):) I will keep updating on the project, as I will be working on the artistic elements to her new and up-and-coming restaurant, in the Southern California area!
