Here's a sneak peek of my work for the New Moon show at myplasticheart in SoHo. If you're in the New York area, please stop by and check it out. 25 artists are going to be interpreting the chinese zodiac, and I can't wait to see what they all come up with! The sneak peeks I've seen look fantastic.

I'll be at the opening on April 10th from 6-9 p.m.

Patrick Gannon made that wonderful collage for the postcard.

Interview

A charming Belgian named Geert interviewed me last month for the third issue of his online magazine Gizmag (no relation to the gadget reviewing blog). You can download the magazine as a .pdf here, or in .jpg form here.


(The cover art for the issue is by Camilla D'Errico)

It might seem not-so-modest to say so, but Geert has great taste in art and design. So I highly recommend checking out his weekly picks at gizmag.eu.

I really loved some of the other pieces in the Cover Band show, and I thought it would be cool to blog them with the original artwork so you can see exactly what the artists did. Oh, and click on their names to check out more of each person's art!

I'm posti​ng some work in my etsy shop this weeke​nd,​ inclu​ding three​ new jack-​o-​lante​rn theme​d piece​s for hallo​ween.​



If you'​re in the LA area this month​,​ don'​t forge​t to check​ out the Cover​ Band show at Galle​ry 1988 (it opens​ on Octob​er 7th)​.​ I have a piece​ in this show,​ as do some of my favor​ite artis​ts,​ inclu​ding Krist​a Huot and the alway​s-​amazi​ng Allis​on Somme​rs.

I'm packing up one of my favorite things I've ever done: this Tom Waits-inspired piece for the upcoming Cover Band show at Gallery 1988.



The title of the piece is "Burn your mansion to the ground".



I started out listening to "The house where nobody lives", and then "Come on up to the house" and finally "Hold on".



There's a lot of singing about houses in this album; it's interesting.



"Well the paint was all cracked, it was peeled off the wood. Papers were stacked on the porch where I stood, and the weeds had grown up just as high as the door. There were birds in the chimney and an old chest of drawers..."



"Well the moon is broken and the sky is cracked. Come on up to the house."



"You build it up, you wreck it down, you burn your mansion to the ground..."



"I'll tell you one thing. He's not building a playhouse for the children."
