this past week i spent in austin working on one of the best prints i have ever done. austin is an amazing city, and the great folks at the decoder ring design concern made it a really magical experience. last night i had a show at the okay mountain gallery here in austin. was a great time, and a large thanks to the okay mountain men for having me, and all the friendly folks who made it out. check out the print...21 colors in 5 days...thanks again to geoff, paul, bobby, renee, christian, eric, liz, joe, and erin for helping me pull this off...and david for letting me live in his yard...thanks austin, i love you.

 wow, driving from san francisco to austin is far as hell. after four days and some minor van troubles we made it. now i am in austin texas for a show at the okay mountain gallery on the 13th. i am also working on a screen print with decoder ring.  http://thedecoderring.com/

if you are in or around the austin area, enjoy artwork, beer, and good times, please come through and share the good vibes. below are some of the coolest things ive found in austin as of day two:

1) one of my all time favorite bro's and art dudes, sieben is a total rad dude:

well, the art is all finished up, the van is packed and ready, and we leave bound for austin, and the start of the first leg of "the road less traveled" 2010 art tour road trip dealy. this trip will consist of two shows, one in austin at the okay mountain gallery on march 13th, and one in denver at the andenken gallery on march 20th. i will try and blog some road randomness when the opportunity presents itself, or the van breaks down. if you happen to live in or near either city on the trip, stop by and say hello. if you live anyplace in the between here and there, please let us know the best dive bars and BBQ spots in your area. next stop,...south western united states....some samples of the new artwork below...

the barter system continues in 2010. recently i made this folding sign for some talented jewelers in my neighborhood. in exchange, the fine dudes at mea-cinis helped me make this nice acorn lady ring for my special lady friend for xmas. i am collaborating with these guys to make a small line of jewelry. mostly rings, pendants, and broaches. stay tuned for further developments.
