Here’s what I did.

“Tiger Tiger Burning Bright” Group Show

I’m participating in a  group show at Roq La Rue Gallery in Seattle based around the theme of tigers, inspired by the dynamic poem ” The Tiger” by visionary artist and painter William Blake. I incorporated Luey into my piece titled “The Last Ride”.

2010 is the Year of the Tiger in the Chinese calendar, and the animal is a very visible example of the environmental problem of habitat loss and rampant poaching, with the reported last wild Indochinese tiger being killed and eaten in December 2009.

Here’s a list of the artists:

Audrey Kawasaki, Robert Hardgrave, Travis Louie, Lisa Petrucci, Isabel Samaras, Robert Burden, Jason D’Aquino, Nouar, Jim Blanchard, Angelique Houtcamp, Bob Dob, Anthony Ausgang, Ann-Marie Manker, Yumiko Kayukawa, Jaw Cooper, and more…

“Coke Head”

Here’s a painting I did last month for a show at WWA Gallery called “The Devil Made Me Do it” .

“Black Eyed Mouseketeers” Print

Sorry for the lack of activity on my blog. Having 3 kids will do that. However, I’m very excited to announce a new print I have with Paper Tiger Press . They’ve release a consolidation of my Black Eyed Mouseketeers from my show in Phoenix a few months back. It’s only an edition of 25 plus a few artists prints. The print looks great.!

“Enlighten!” Group Show

I’m in a really cool group show at the Helms Bakery in Culver City November 21st to help inner city arts. It’s one night only: Saturday, November 21 from 5-11 PM. They are making 85 limited edition artist lamps. A rough mock up of my lamp is below. They are taking pre orders now or you can preview the show at www.enlightenshow.com. Hope to see you there.

Imp Clothing

I have a children’s clothing line coming out this week called Imp Clothing. It’s been a work in progress for the last year but it’s finally going to launch. More info to come soon. Here’s a few designs. I’ll send out a mass e-mail when it officially launches.

“Black Eyed Mouseketeers”

Here’s my latest paintings for my show this Friday at Perihelion Arts Gallery in Phoenix Arizona. The show is from 6pm to 10pm. Hope to see you there. Planning on doing more of these. They are a ton of fun.

Tattoo Luey

I’ve recently come across some fans of my Luey character who had him tattooed on them. Check out the images below. The first on the ankle is Jason Willis tattooed by Skot Ives from Laughing Gremlin Tattoos in Wyoming.  And the second on the shoulder is Javier from Argentina. Pretty cool.

And the reason I haven’t been updating this weekly anymore is below. There names are Sid and June born June 9th.  Good times.

Recent Commissioned Paintings

Here’s a few commissioned paintings I did. I have a good time painting these water scenes. The buyer wanted me to include R. Crumbs Mr. Natural which was fun turning him into a more 3 dimensional character.

And, I still haven’t caught that damn Raccoon. Here’s a chicken wired cover I’ve been putting over the pond and the trap I baited with bacon and hot dogs. I’m going to catch that bastard. Last time he ate the bait but didn’t trip the wire. I think we’re dealing with a huge Raccoon.
