STORYCHORD

One of my pieces was featured in this issue of STORYCHORD, a bi-weekly web zine. Check it out here and check out some of the past issues. There is some good stuff in there!

Paper

"...and you're to blame"
8" x 10"
graphite, liquid acrylic, china marker on Rives BFK

Just bought a bunch of awesome paper from the art store. I really like working on heavy printmakeing paper, it has such a great feel to it. Just finished this little graphite drawing with a little crimson liquid acrylic and white china marker on some Rives BFK. Can't remember the last time I did a graphite piece, but it was pretty satisfying.

Boarded Up

I am going to have two hand painted skateboards in the Neopopstreetfunk show Boarded Up in Houston at Gallery M Squared next weekend. If anyone is in the area they should check it out, there's going to be a whole bunch 0f great stuff. And it's for a good cause! The opening is on Saturday the 11th. Hope to see you there.

Sweet Shop

La Patisserie just opened up in South Austin and my work is adorning the walls. It's a great place to grab a coffee or some delicious macarons!
