“you drink tea now” in the UK!
you drink tea now, originally uploaded by *version-3-point-1.
(Note: I’m trying the blog feature from flickr for the first time. Let’s see how it works…)
I just found out today that an AWESOME girl in the UK heard about my new tshirt from a mutual friend (also AWESOME) named Martin. She is the first person I’m aware of that’s outside the US who has one of these tshirts. So I’m really excited about it. Just thought I’d let you know. Oh and also, she is an ace photographer and seems to have flawless taste in like…everything.
Note #2: Didn’t work. Text and links transferred, but the image didn’t. I had to removed a couple paragraphs of code that flickr put into the post. At least until I figure it out and fix it so it works correctly.
Note #3 UPDATE: the Flickr blog feature actually DID work. The reason the image didn’t transfer is because of the permissions set by the owner of the photograph. Mystery solved. Yay! Now I have a WAY quicker way to blog. That makes me happy.

Orders for New Geisha Tee Start NOW!
As of a few minutes ago orders for my new limited edition tshirt have begun! This is a limited run, and will only be available for purchase until June 15th. That’s less than TWO WEEKS. Then they’re gone forever.
Some of the proceeds go to StartingArtists.org, a local charity that provide free after school art classes and art business training to inspire youth to create arts-based enterprises. Which is awesome. And some proceeds go to me.

Wearable Geisha
I have now collaborated with an awesome jewelry designer named Missy out of North Carolina. Her company is called Oh Sexy Girlfriend. She’s awesome and now my geisha can be worn! So that’s fun and it makes me happy. If you’re interested in purchasing any of her/our jewelry, just contact her/purchase via the above link.
Here are some pics of what she’s created with my images:

Geisha #4 Ready!
I’ve now cleaned up the original Geisha 4 which was originally done on a USPS sticker for the “Going Postal” show in Chicago. I changed the size, cleaned it up, made some other changes and should have a nice bulk quantity of them for display and sale in a few weeks. When they run out I will make stickers from another Geisha in the series. I’ll let you know when they are ready for purchase. I’m excited about this series.

Stickers for Chicago “Going Postal” Show
I just did a series of 10 geisha on USPS shipping labels. These are for a group show of sticker art in Chicago called “Going Postal”. Thought I’d share them with ya! XO dreX
Here are a couple close-ups:
The Hype Continues…
This 112 Greene show next week seems to pretty much be the talk of the town. Lots of photos and blogging and articles about it going on. I found out today that my work (and others’) is on Martha Cooper’s blog. So I thought I’d share the link with you, and one of the pictures she posted. Click on the picture to see the original blog post by Martha Cooper.
Definitely come through if you’re anywhere near NYC on March 26th, 6pm-10pm. The show is at 112 Greene Street, NY, NY. XO, dreXeL

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.
