Bump It Gocco Print

Here's my latest gocco print-my first four color design. Registering it took some experimenting, and it ain't perfect but it was good to get back to my lil PG-11, I've been ignoring it.

A friend showed me this short he'd seen-I love the style and colors. Really beautiful combination of 2 and 3d. Check it out! You can see stills and more on the films site.

Viva Movement!

I did this design for my friend Chris at Movement, but it was never printed. . .until now! It was one of my favorite things that I did for him so I decided to get one printed through boardpusher. The colors are a little off but it's easy to upload designs, the prices are really reasonable and the turnaround was quick-yay boardpusher! Yay Movement!

Bump It

Here's the sketch for the next gocco print I'm going to make-inspired in part by this hilarious hair product.

My New Favorite Show

Copyright © 2009 Discovery Communications, LLC.

Have you seen Time Warp on the Discovery channel yet? It's flipping awesome. Why you ask? Because on the show you get to see everyday things in super slow motion. The episode I saw was all about music and showed a lot of footage featuring Metallica. Also an upright bassist with a crazy mustache! You can watch clips on their site and on youtube but they don't look as good as the actual show.
Watch it Wednesdays at EP/PT 8pm.

Marathon Monday

It's Patriots Day! Here are some sketches of girls with no noses!

China Fair

Whether you've been thinking of opening up a family restaurant or planning a party in which you are hoping to trick your guests into thinking it's still 1972, China Fair has something for you! Browsing the store at 2100 Mass Ave is like being at Pearl River, a garage sale and your parents basement ALL AT ONCE. They have kitchen supplies, tons of paper products and aisles and aisles of cups, plates and saucers. Did i buy the Ziggy napkins? Yes, yes I did.

If it's yellow. . .

I'm making a sign for our potty. Not to be strictly enforced, just an excuse to make something for above the toilet. I mean, everyone knows that picking something to go in that spot is a super important design decision.

I saw Monsters Vs. Aliens in 3D. And I liked it.

I recently partook in the madness that is Monsters Vs. Aliens 3D. I will go ahead and say that I'm not a big DreamWorks fan. If I never have to see anything relating to Shrek again I will be happy. I'm not charmed by the cast of Madagascar dancing around to "I Like to Move It". I know tons of people thought that MVA was a pile of poo with no plot or character development, but I was pleasantly surprised. I really liked the look of the main characters and I bought Susan's storyline (however thin). I thought her transformation from wallflower to heroine was believeable and touching. I did! All of the main characters were well cast and there were some genuinely funny moments in the film. There were also some jokes that completely bombed, and I wish there had been more nods to classic sci-fi/monster movies but overall I thought it was pretty, pretty, pretty good. I'd also reccomend reading Jessica Winter's review in Slate.

Still need to pick up something you purchased from Sour Grapes?

If you haven't already made arrangements to pick up something you bought from my Sour Grapes show, you should contact the gallery director Ami Bennitt to set up a time. You can email her at ami@space242.com or reach her by phone at 617.797.3191. Thanks again to everyone for coming out to the show!

Grayhaired Sketch

Here's the color test for my latest painting. I'm making the finished piece with gouache and cut paper.

Happy Spring!

How nice was it yesterday in Boston? Sooo nice.

Spike Jonze

From the man who brought us the best Beastie Boys video ever, more amazing work. From the Lakai "Fully Flared" skate video and the live action adaptation of "Where the Wild Things Are". Music by Unkle and Arcade Fire respectively.
