Happy spring, friends. Here is what's happening.

You can now find my artwork for sale, along with many other great things, at Paperish Mess in Chicago, Illinois. Visit, buy, and enjoy!

I'll be having a show on June 1st at Comfort Station in Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood. There will be a gallery talk at a point to be determined. I'll post details as soon as I know.

I'll be in a group show in June through the Chicago Loop Alliance, with three other very talented artists: Jeff Prokash, Morgan Sims, and Gwendolyn Zabicki. More info forthcoming.

I will also be giving a talk about my work through the Lillstreet Art Center's Emerging Artist Lecture series on June 26th at 7pm.

You can see images of new work right here. There's lots to see.

Take a look at Lux Lisbon's video "Get some scars" over on youtube. It's pretty great.

In other news, I've been recording some songs with the help of my friend Anthony, who is in a great band called Mawrcrest. You can listen to my songs here. Check out Mawrcrest while you're at it. They're great!
