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.

This Saturday from 6 - 9pm sees the opening of A Full Plate , an exhibition of hand painted plates at The Compound Gallery in Oakland. I will have half a dozen specimens on show and available for purchase.

Part of the proceeds of each sale goes to support City Slicker Farms, which helps the West Oakland community meet the immediate and basic need for healthy, fresh food by creating chemical-free high-yield urban farms and backyard gardens. So not only do you get some cool crockery you get to feel warm and fuzzy about what a nice person you are too.

Prices are absurdly reasonable and you can purchase online right now, right here.

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.

Today sees the launch of this limited edition cast bronze ‘sculpture’ that I created in partnership with the good folks at The Compound Gallery. It sits proudly upon it’s own sturdy maple plinth, complete with laser etched profanity. Each and every one of the edition of 13 was hand finished by me at great personal risk and considerable discomfort.

Anything to make you happy.

Available right here.
