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.

It was super fun working with Mozilla folks again! We did an edition of 100 s/n serigraphs, and a run of T-Shirts, and Vinyl stickers/postcards. The image is a collage of elements from many sources to parallel the structure of code produced by open source communities.

Yuyunipitqana is one of the names associated with Smohalla, a Native American Medicine Man of the Shahaptian Wanapum tribe of South Eastern Washington state. He lived in the time of Lewis and Clark. As the Wanapum became overrun by white settlers he taught a return to tribal lifestyles, traditions and beliefs that became the Dreamer Religion.

This picture represents Smohalla as a spirit conjuring traditional ways as represented by the horses. He pulls them up out of the modern landscape and he sees them through the modern ways.

Above the horses heads are the symbols for the mountains and the desert that they lived between, on the Columbia river (shown in the background).

This picture came about via a recent visit to the area. I started drawing what was around me as I learned the story. The early drawings became the lower landscape. The fun lower right with help from Liana :)

Currently there is an on-going massive cleanup in progress of the cold war nuclear reactors on the Columbia. This work drives much of the local economy.

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.

This print is from our 2009 European Flatstock adventure. It's a road drawing compilation travel-log of a trip. It goes in and back out as read in a circle in either direction.

In the Hamburg airport I saw a group of college students with fantastic tasseled hats. After making a drawing of the hat, I asked them what the hats represented. They were very friendly and explained that they are a Finnish engineering student's hat called Teekkarilakki. The hat's equally fantastic name became the name of the piece.

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.

This print is not about a particular memory, but about human memory in general. Late last year I found out my Mom's has Alzheimer's, and it had become pretty bad. I'm an only child, and she needed me to come in and take over some things she has always taken pride in doing for herself. It was a hard time, and in between working toward a new way for her to be safe and happy, every evening I did some drawing to help keep my own sanity intact. Those drawings became this.

There are many references here, one is the central seahorse that represents the hippocampus, a part of the brain that helps with long-term memory and spatial navigation. A portion of these sales will go to Alzheimer's research, which seems very close to figuring out this tragic disease.

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.

This print is a personal take on the history of Caffe Mediterraneum on Telegraph Ave. in Berkeley.

In addition to being the oldest coffeehouse in the East Bay and the birthplace of the Latte, The Med has a history of being a mecca for burgeoning Beatnicks, Hippies, Punks, Artists, Writers, Political Radicals.. a myriad of people who 'dropped out' of their set life path to become something more interesting. This piece is for these people who Washed Ashore in Berkeley over the last five decades.
