Hiya  /:

Just a quick heads up, for those of you in the “Golden State“, I will be participating in this year’s “SEA NO EVIL” group / benefit art show for the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. The show / auction will be Saturday, June 30th – 6pm at the Riverside Municipal Auditorium in Riverside, CA. There will be feature work by a whole slew of your favorite new contemporary artists as well as some musical entertainment and other festivities. All the money goes to preserving and protecting the oceans of our big blue ball. Ok, gotta go. More to come soon…

Hi There  / :

Ok, Finally I am finished decompressing & relaxing from my Spoke Art show and I am back in the studio working on a few pieces for a group show I will be part of called, “Recycle, Reuse, Reinvent” @ The Chautauqua institute in the State of New York. The show runs from June 24th – July 19th and the opening reception is Sunday, July 1st from 3-5pm. I’m doing a series of 3 “cases” for this show, and I will be posting some pictures of said pieces in the very near future. Speaking of pictures, I am almost finished editing the pictures of all the new pieces from my recent Spoke Art show in S.F., CA. and they should be up here in the “work /:” section on the site in the not too distant future, in all their glory. Oh, and I almost forgot this….Check out the cool feature / interview I did recently with Istanbul, Turkey based Arts & Culture Magazine: DEFAULT. You should click HERE to read that. Well, I’m off. Let’s chat soon, & you can “follow” me a tad more frequently & closely on Tumblr. I bid you good day, Sir….& Ma’am.

Hi Folks… / :

So tomorrow, Wednesday the 21st & Thursday the 22nd will be the FINAL 2 days to catch my solo show “new works” at Spoke Art in SF, CA. if you haven’t done so already. Again, I THANK all of you dearly that came by the gallery and checked it out. There are also still a few remaining pieces left for purchase, please contact the gallery for pricing and other information. Below are 3 more pieces from the show. I promise they will ALL make their way to the “work /:” section eventually with multiple views and close-ups. Also, I recently joined Tumblr and actually enjoy it. You can follow me HERE and I update it daily and unlike Facebook it is actually different than the things you can always find here. Allright kiddies….bunch of stuff coming up in the near future, so stop back soon for all the pertinent info. Titles for pics from left to right:  1.”The Pitman & The Sawyer”  2.”Painting No.1 (Circles)“ 3.”Keepsake: An Archival Deconstruction Of One Heroic Day From The Past“. Bye….

‘ello….  / :

Oh my, I’m still a tad fuzzy & groggy with a bit of an “Artover” from the past month or so, but am slowly getting back to normal and can now almost complete full sentences. I want to start by THANKING anyone and everyone (Especially Ken & Sarah!) in the SF / Bay Area that took time out of their long busy day to come to my Spoke Art opening reception last Thursday evening. Your time, support, and very kind words are much appreciated and dually noted. Aside from being a bit drained and spacey I had a great time again in SF and was generally happy with the overall show, all things considered. Unfortunately I did not get to SFMOMA to checkout the Mark Bradford exhibit….bummer….but, I did get to see Seattle, WA. based artist Mary Iverson’s FANTASTIC work in person finally at her show “CALAMITY” in SF at the Shooting Gallery. If you’re NOT familiar with her work already, I highly recommend! Well it’s about “that” time. I need some more “rest” and the sun is out in Portland today…. soooooooo….Anyhoo, here is a piece I am quite fond of from the Spoke Art show it’s titled “Fuck You Pablo” it measures 37.5″ x 13″ x 5″ and is made of a 1930′s Harmony Guitar and miscellaneous medium, 2012.(Photos by: Shaun Roberts). I will be posting photos of ALL the new pieces and a few old stragglers in the “WORK /” section in the next few….days, weeks, months!? Also, if you get a chance check out the interview I did recently with Hi-Fructose as well as a few nice thoughtful show reviews just below. Thx.

Ok People, I will be in touch soon….Maybe. C-ya.

Howdy / :

Uh…Um…Uh…

Ok, so…I’m getting my ducks in a row, wrapping up all the loose ends, & getting ready for my SF show! Seriously, I can’t even think anymore. Like always I have spent WAYYYYY too much time cooped up in my studio working and will probably be doing the ‘ol spit, shine, polish, and tighten right up to the very last second!? I hope anyone that can make it out to the opening reception at Spoke Art…will do so…or at least try to make it by another time to view the new stuff. Anyone that is interested in previewing / purchasing any of the NEW work or any of the very few remaining older pieces for the matter, please contact Ken or Sarah at: (415)-796-3774 or spokeartgallery@gmail.com. Last but not least here are 3 more “teaser” sampler pics of a few new pieces, but that’s it! If you want to see more or the rest, you will have to come to the show or wait for me to post them here on my site!? The choice is yours.

Ps. Here is the “Easing Down, Winding Down, Down the Stretch, Finishing Up, Creative Boosterific” list of sounds that have been keeping it going: Yo La Tengo – “And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out”, I Love You But I’ve Chosen Darkness - “Fear Is On Our Side”, Arab Strap – “Elephant Shoe”, At The Drive-In - “In Casino Out” & “Relationship Of Command”, Y La Bamba – “Court The Storm” , Still Corners – “Creatures Of An Hour”, Passion Pit – “Manners”  &  Yuck – “Yuck”

Greetings / :

Here are 3 more teaser samples of some new pieces for the Spoke Art show. Back to work. Bye.

Hello  / :

Wow!…So, it’s 2012 Huh!?

Imagine that.

Anyway, I have been doing a little bit of this and a little bit of that lately, but mostly I have been in hibernation mode, hiding out in my studio diligently and meticulously working away at the plethora of pieces for my upcoming solo show at the Spoke Art gallery in San Francisco, CA. The show will run from March 1st – March 22nd and the opening reception is Thursday evening March 1st, 6 – 10pm. Please come out to the opening if you live in or around the Bay Area, or at least try to stop by the gallery at a later date to take in the new works. Spoke Art has regular business hours: Wednesday thru Sunday 12pm – 7pm. Also, if you get a chance to pick up the latest issue of Hi-Fructose #22, check out the very cool full-page Ad for my show on page 15. (Thx Ken!) Ok, gotta get back to “making”. I will be posting a few more updates in the very near future, don’t fret. Here are a few sample sections of some of the new pieces. Yeah, I’m a tease. I know. Meh!

Ps. Just FYI: This current wave of fanciful creativity and random “Artification” has been fueled & powered by the sounds of: Talkdemonic – “Ruins”, Cults – “Cults”, The Nowtwist – “Neon Golden” & “Shrink”, MeWithoutYou – “Catch For Us The Foxes”, M83 – “Saturdays = Youth”, Kid Cudi – “Man On The Moon: End Of The Day”, The Eaves – “The Eaves”, New Order - “Brotherhood” & “Substance”, and of course Mogwai – “Special Moves: Live”.
