Upcoming Show at 112 Greene Street
I’m very excited about my upcoming show at 112 Greene Street in Manhattan. There are two reasons for this.
1. Because there are amazing artists in this show that I get the opportunity to work and exhibit with like El Celso, Robots Will Kill, Destroy and Rebuild, Royce Bannon and Endless Love Crew (also responsible for putting on this awesome show) and a lot of others I’ll be posting about later.
2. 112 Greene Street is a historic landmark in NYC. I’m talking about years and years as a famous and successful studio to many musicians that you love. Who recorded there, you ask? Oh…just Raekwon, Jungle Brothers, RUN-DMC, Public Enemy, LL Cool J, Chaka Khan, James Brown, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Black Eyed Peas and a ton of other awesome performers. I mean the birth of hip hop. No joke. And also it makes me a little giddy when I think about exhibiting in the same space where Sonic Youth recorded “Daydream Nation” and “Goo”.
If you want to see the space and a few pics of the installation in progress, check out the flickr pics.
The opening is set for March 26th, and I’ll definitely be posting more about this as events unfold. Meanwhile, you might want to clear your calendar for that day. I have a feeling this is going to be quite a day.

How Does a Bombshell Dress? (Homework Assignment #3)
For those of you who don’t know, I’ve been putting my Bombshell Challenge homework assignments on my blog. No, it doesn’t have a lot to do with my art career, but it’s a random aspect of my life and my interests. So there you go. By my blog shall ye know me. Or something…
I’m still looking for more. But those are awesome examples of daytime pinup dress and fancy evening attire.

My Entrance into the Comics Industry
I’ve been thinking about this for a while now. I want to write a book of my memoirs. And whenever I tell people stories about my crazy past and even my slightly less crazy current, they say, “You should write a book.” But when I envision my book, it always looks like a comic book. I couldn’t possibly write a book of all words. I mean, technically, I suppose I could. But nahhh. So I’ve decided to start doing comics. At some point, if I can do maybe one a week or more if I have the time, when I have enough for my memoirs, I’ll put together a graphic novel. For now I’m getting the hang of the medium and the software. And having a ridiculous amount of fun mixing my photos, my drawings and my goofy ideas.
