DELINEATIONS at Ad Hoc Art

I have a drawing in this super cool show and I will be in attendence at the opening. This Friday, January 16th. Yay!

Ad Hoc Art proudly presents...

DELINEATIONS (in the front gallery)
Ad Hoc Art is proud to present "Delineations": a collection of drawings and illustrations from a diverse group of international artists.
Drawing has been and will always be a fundamental part of the art-making process. Starting as far back as the 1400's, artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Albrecht Dürer, Michelangelo, and Raphael used drawing as not only a starting point but as a way to communicate things which could not be accomplished in any other medium. Fast forward to the 1900's as artists such as Max Beckmann, Jean Dubuffet, Arshile Gorky, M. C. Escher, André Masson, and Pablo Picasso not only continued this serious examination of drawing as fine art, but took it to incredible new places through their creativity and talent. In more recent times artists such as Marcel Dzama, R. Crumb, Dan Clowes, Joe Sacco, Yoshitomo Nara, and Julie Doucet (among many, many others) again redefined how we look at drawing as not only a means to an end but an important and impressive end in itself. Continuing with this amazing tradition, we present to you a new generation of drawers and illustrators who hope to not only add to this amazing lineage of artists but to also find ways to reinvent and reinterpret how drawing can be used to communicate and enlighten.

Participating artists include: John Breiner, Alley Cat, Adam William Carnes, Gigi Chen, Fernanda Cohen, Molly Crabapple, Adam Collison, Cycle, Deseo, Bonnie Durham, Ezra Li Eismont, Ewelina Ferruso, EZO, Nate Frizzel, Yoko Furuso, Bob Gibson (TLP), Mark Gibson, GROW, Joshua Hagler, Fred Harper, Peter Herpich, Thomas Herpich, Nevada Hill, Phil Hollenbeck, Mike Houston (Cannonball Press), isuel isuel, Jeremyville, Katie Kaplan, Jane Kim, Hiro Kurata, Rafael Ladesma III, Laura Lee, Tim Hon Hung Lee, Tae Lee, Brian Life, Tommii Lim, Daniel Hyun Lim (Fawn Fruits), David MacDowell, Drew Maillard, Sara Antoinette Martin, Martin Mazorra (Cannonball Pres), MIHA, Melissa Murray, Gilbert Oh, Logik One, Pagan, Nathan Lee Pickett, Lady Pink, Lilly Piri, Anthony Pontius, Devin Powers, Carlos (MARE139) Rodriguez, Dorthy Royle, Martina Secondo Russo, Frank Russo, Allison Sommers, Robert Steel, Kevin Earl Taylor, TheDirtyFabulous, Elisabeth Timpone, TOOFLY, James Turek, Connie Wang, Jaeran Won, Pippi Zornoza plus Mikey & Doyle of the Black Label Bike Club

Merry Christmas!

I made this house for my mom's christmas town. Its a balsa wood model of the house they built and just moved into.
I posted a bunch of pictures on flickr of all the food I ate over the holiday. yeah!

Chumbys Rollin' along!

I'm up to the detailing part! Its kinda my favorite part, so hopefully it should go a bit faster.

Fresh Produce opened last week! There are lots of pictures up on flickr here and here. It looks like there was a good turnout! I really like Ryan Bubnis's square head paintings.

They have put most of the works up for sale on-line. Maybe you'll find some last minute holiday gifts!

Recent works at Tattoo Culture

I'm proud to announce that I will be showing some recent works at Tattoo Culture on December 20th! Its a little short notice, but its going to be really great.

Sara Antoinette Martin and Richard Meyer at Tattoo Culture I'll be showing a whole bunch of recent paintings, new pen and ink drawings and there will even be some prints for sale.

Colorink issue 1 out now!

I just got my copy of the Color Ink Book. Its a coloring book featuring lots-o-underground artists and its only 10 bucks! You can check it out here.
I posted the drawings I did for it back here.

Oh the plan!

This is what I am painting on the Chumbys! Again, you can follow this project on flickr!

Drawing transfered

I've finally finished transfering the design on all of the Chumbys. Because Chumbys have a soft body, and the seams are all a little different, I couldn't use any tracing tools on them. I had to draw the design freehand on all 6. This is the most cumbersome part for me. The rest should go faster!

Check out more pictures of my custom-in-progress on flickr!

Next Project! Chumby!

Look what just arrived!
I little while ago, I posted pictures of a custom Chumby I had painted. (you can check out that post here) Whats a Chumby? Its like a clock radio/bean bag/rss feeder and more! Its better explained on the Chumby website, but you can do things like listen to pandora, read blogs, facebook, check email, play games, ect. Its definitely a fun gadget (christmas??) and exciting new platform. The people at Chumby designed their product to be easily mod-ed and encourage using chumby in creative ways, as seen on their forums and community pages.

Anyway, I am about to customize a series of 5 Chumbys that will be sold through the chumby website. I'm pretty excited about it, and I'll be documenting it right here on on my flickr page. Hopefully I will be able to even develop some of my own widgets! I'm shooting to finish these customs before Christmas.

Oh hey, this is my 100th post!
