I am excited to announce a two-person show I will be in this first Friday, September the 2nd at the one and only
Part Time Studios (2031 Frankford Ave. Philadelphia, PA) with my good friend
Dewey Saunders. The show is entitled "The Skull, The Bottle, The Flower, The Mountain" and is based around four collaborative pieces that represent these things. The above promotional image was a collaboration between myself and Dewey, and includes actual photographs of the four collaborative pieces before we started painting them. Here is the promotional blurb on the back of the card:
Miraculously drawn together by the almighty powers of this universe, two Philadelphia-based artists have embarked on a collaborative journey. A timeless journey in which, like so many before it, the emphasis has been squarely rested upon the shoulders of an unpredictable process, as opposed to the fruits it may yield. Four objects have been chosen to set the stage for this adventure that will be coming to a brilliant end on Friday September 2nd at Part Time Studios (2031 Frankford Ave.)
Please come out and show some love! The opening is Friday, September 2nd from 6 - 10 and there will be a closing on Friday, September 23rd from 6 - 10.
There will also be a secret t-shirt released as a collaboration between myself and some very good friends of mine. more information to come soon.

I've been pretty busy with a few projects lately, but when asked to participate in this interesting group show I couldn't decline. The show is called RECOVER, and basically I got to pick a vintage record sleeve to do whatever I wanted with (You can view all of the record sleeves they had, and who claimed which ones on TrickGo's flickr). The record sleeve that I chose was a split LP with songs from the musical "West Side Story" and "Flower Drum Song". I chose the sleeve because the buildings on it looked like something I might paint or make, so including the actual artwork would appear seamless. I wound up combining the building and pagoda shapes (hence the title), and I also pasted the text from the record sleeve on the back, rearranged to read as the title. Information about the piece is below:
