“Everything in Moderation” mixed media on paper, 2017
I have a solo show at The Compound Gallery, in Oakland, CA, opening Saturday October 21, so expect a tedious amount of posting between then and now. Apologies in advance.
I detest the title I originally gave this drawing, so now it doesn’t have one.
“Untitled” Mixed media on cardboard, 2015.
A drawing of Mark E Smith inside the shape of Idaho. What more could you possibly want?
I’ve been pretty crap at posting stuff lately, but have now resolved to be a diligent social media contributor, This seems like a fine place to start.
Oh, and you can buy the original, if you want.
If anyone out there finds themselves with time to kill in the vicinity of Pittsburg, CA. between today (4/18) and May18th, I have a solo show at the Los Medanos College Gallery. The Gallery is located in the Library Building and is open Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday 12:30 - 2:00 and 4 -6pm. There’s a reception this Thursday, 4/20, from 4-7pm. All welcome.
“Improved Productivity for Incredibly Busy People”
mixed media on paper, 2016.
American Carnage mixed media on scrap paper assemblage, 17.5 x 20 inches, 2017.
Yup, I succumbed and drew the Tangerine Tinted Shit-Gibbon. It made me feel a tiny bit better for a short while. Hang in there people.
“Misty Water-Colored Memories of the Way We Were” (12″ Remixes)
An ongoing series of graphite drawings on paper, mounted inside 12″ record sleeves with letterpress type. 2016 - 2017
There is also a 7″ series, which has been going on for years. I thought I’d posted them here, but I guess I haven’t, so I’ll bung them up soon. Bet you can hardly wait.
I’m taking part in SF Open Studios for the first time this weekend. However my studio is a pigsty so it won’t be open. Instead my work will be on show at The Problem Library, 1288 15th Avenue @ Irving in the Inner Sunset. Opening this Friday 11/28 5:30 - 9:00pm. There’s a dive bar next door and an excellent record store across the street, so your Friday night needs should be pretty much covered.
Mediocrity Achieved
Mixed media on file divider, 8.5 x 11 inches. 2016.
You’ll find this drawing, plus a few other small mixed media pieces and prints on show at the Dove Biscuit Studio, inside the amazing Last Bookstore, 453 S Spring St, Los Angeles. Well worth a visit if you like used books, vinyl and ridiculously affordable art.

Mustn’t grumble.
Dear People of the Internet, this is the final week of my exhibition ‘We Wish That We Were What We Once Were, Back When We Wanted To Be What We Are Now" at The Compound Gallery in Oakland.
This Sunday, March 13th, there will be a Closing Reception from 3 - 6pm. This event will also apparently include an 'Artist Talk’, starting at 4pm. As of right now I’ve no idea what that will actually consist of. Possibly an incendiary, Trump style oratory during which I vilify and belittle everything we hold dear, followed by the forced removal of random audience members by security guards. Most likely though it will just be me, in a state of mild embarrassment, mumbling incoherently for a short while.
Anyway, the forecast is for rain on Sunday, so if you’ve nothing better to do come along and see for yourself.
