Recent A-frames

Over the past few months I've had the fortune of getting back to some a-frame work for Makitiki's summer pop-up over at South Street Seaport (see a couple posts back for more info on that) and Bin Bin Sake, a new sake, wine, Japanese whisky and shochu shop in Brooklyn. If you're down at the seaport this summer keep an eye out for these bright babies and they'll guide you to a little oasis tucked in the center of all the action.

 

Showtime at The Grayhaven Motel!

Ok, folks. My show is officially up at The Grayhaven Motel in Ithaca, NY from now until Nov. 30th! The actual opening night shindig will take place on Nov. 5th from 5-8pm. Unfortunately I will not be able to attend but please swing by anyways. Opening night will be in conjunction with First Fridays in Ithaca so there'll be plenty of other shows going on in the area for you to bounce around to. 

Masks will be required while you are in the building no matter your vaccination status so please be respectful and throw one on while you're there. There are some bonus viewing hours listed on the site as well in case you can't making the opening or the afternoon viewing times. Details on all that stuff right here --> Grayhaven Motel

 More glamour shots coming later.

 

Showtime!

After putting this thing off for 18 months I am finally getting my work back up on some walls. I'll be showing some pieces I've made in and around the pandemic at the beautiful GRAYHAVEN MOTEL in Ithaca, NY at the end of the month. I've had numerous friends tell me that my work hanging at a roadside motel is very "on brand" so hopefully you will come out to this fully realized show of mine while it is up. Details below:

Masks must be worn while inside the show

 

Signs on the Road

Recently wrapped up this little series "Signs on the Road". After I drew that little hot dog stand with the devil in the background of the "One Last Dog for the Road" I got this idea to do this little road trip series focusing on some stuff that makes me feel like our ways are leading us down some weird highway to hell, but at least it's filled with modern convenience.

Hoping to be showing these, along with some other pieces, this fall. I've put off hanging this body of work for the last 17 months because I don't have any need for it to make money or anything, I'm just waiting to put it up when I feel good about having people congregate together in a closed space. Thought we were getting there a couple months ago but guess some people just like to help perpetuate this problem. This series is for them.
