Big Livin’

I have been a bit under the weather lately, which has led to me being a bit less than productive on things I know I should be attentive to (I am very sorry little blog). I came back though. Just in time to tell you about all the ridiculousness in store for this fall/winter.

October 6th 7pm Burchfield Penney Art Center:

I am releasing a free mini comic entitled Maybe in conjunction with this presentation/q&a I am not entirely sure I belong on but am really flattered to have been invited to. The other (amazing) panelists are: Alan Bigelow, Josef Bajus, Julian Montague, Hyeyoung Shin, Chris Fritton and Allison Wilton.

For this I will be discussing the zine-style comics me and Salvatore Sciandra have been making as well as future solo plans. Comics are still a learning process for me, so bear with me on this one.

October 11

I donated a work to Buffalo on the Bowery, and incredible fundraiser event curated by one of my personal art-heroes Julian Montague and benefiting two deserving not-for-profits: PUSH Buffalo & Hallwalls Contemporary Art Center. I highly suggest if you are in NYC at the time you take a look because it looks like it is going to be a really fun event with some amazing artwork.

? October

I just know my deadline on this one, which is the 16th. I am in some sort of group show at 464 concerning monsters, mythology, and fantasy. For this I fully intend on painting some roundish, lumpy, and anatomically correct harpies. I think it will be a lot of fun to see the show done, but mainly because I was a giant nerd growing up and mythology always excites me.

January:

My Buffalo Arts Studio show. I will keep that a secret for now but it is my personal anxiety attack.

 

March (I think):

Hopefully the Solo release of  “Bird Stories” at the 2012 Small Press Book Fair. This will be a lot more labor intensive than the Elephant Guns and hopefully have a sweeter presentation. I can’t promise anything though. Comics are really hard.
