I'm way behind updating the blog... I have a painting in an awesome show called I've Got Something To Say curated by Lil Tuffy at The Pretty Pretty Collective running through March 7.

I didn't get a final picture, in this snapshot it's 90% done. It's a 12x16 gouache on Arches about the Black Sabbath song The Wizard.

The idea of making a buffalo print was first suggested by a friend who has buffalo on his ranch in New Mexico. He sent me photos, and the central buffalo in this picture is one of his. But the picture expanded as I researched the story of the American Buffalo, and the handfull of people who saved them from extinction.

Almost all my artwork is hand drawn, but since this project was about the people who write open source code, it made sense to build the image from 'open source' vintage clip art. This picture is a collage of several old etchings combined to look something like an antique product label. Coders are sometimes referred to as 'bug killers' thus the dead flies at the bottom. heh

The project consisted of this art as an edition of 100 6 color 18x24 signed numbered screen prints, 1000 4x6" stickers and 528 6 color locally printed shirts. Putting this together was a lot of fun and the folks at Mozilla were awesome to work with.

Teekkarilakki is the Finnish engineering student's hat since 1895, when it was pointed out that the tassel is very pleasing to women :). This print book is about our European adventures on our show tour of 2009. There is more info on the-one sheet print post adjacent to this post.

This book is designed to have a feeling similar to a pop-up book as each page turned produces another 3D 2-page spread. This was challenging to lay out and to bind so that the shared elements on corresponding pages align to work beautifully within a handmade context.

Stoney Run is a crooked road way out in the boonies of Madison County Kentucky where I lived for a while when I was a kid. The farm was basically a knobby hill that ended in the Kentucky River. My parents bought the the place to increase their "tobacco base", which was actually grown on a much nicer farm. My Mom drove me in to school every day when we lived there, and I have strong memories of learning every song on the AM radio, on those trips. Buck Owens to Tommy James... That little farm seemed 50 years in the past even in those days.

The new Beatles museum in Hamburg, celebrates the Beatles formative days on the Reeperbahn. It's called the Beatlemania Museum. It has five floors, 1300 square meters of Beatles stuff, a yellow submarine... It's right on the Reeperbahn near where Flatstock is located.

The Participating artists created an art print, as a visual interpretation of a Beatles song of their choice. Each is the artists own response to the song, done in the artists own style, as a limited-edition art print.

Some of the artist's are Luke Drozd, Graham Pilling, Cameron Steward, Lars Krause, John Howard and Malleus

It's an 18x24 4 color screen print edition of 100 some will be available here after the show.

Three new stickers are here.. the monkey is a 4 inch circle, others are relative to that. The last one will tile in any direction, and is in red/blue 3D. I know, right?

Also a new book/prints about this years euro trip is in the works. No screenshots yet.. All will be available at the Renegade Fair in SF in December. More on that soon.

Some of the poster artists attending Flatstock Europe customised a squeegee handle (New/old, in any medium of the artist's choice) for Nick Rhodes Squeegeedragger Show. My contribution is a studio kitty with her red rubber tongue out from grooming.

23-29th September

The stand there is hinged 2x4's used to hold the squeegee while working on it. They will be hung on the wall for the show. There are more in-progress pics on the link below.

At some point in the making of this the idea came up to to make a squeegee cozy with the same image, but pixelated in needlepoint. Dina embroidered the image and it came out pretty great. In the end we decided a crudely upholstered squeegee was just as funny, and a lot easier to make. Hehe Cheers Dina.
