heck of a map

the map show opens next friday, 5-8 pm, it's gallery night! the show is at the UPSTAIRS gallery in Dewitt Mall. call us if you need a map to get there. The show is going to be great because i have seen some of what my friends ben marlan and werner sun are working on. this show will also have some really cool accessible priced pieces as well. for instance you will be able to purchase this print right here, we are also making some stenciled signs that you will not be able to resist to accompany you in your life.

everything is a map

sneak preview of a section of a map. this is a map of "spirit". now without the key you may or may not be able to decipher. plus this is only the first part of the map, so you can not see point b at the moment. the opening is friday june 5th at the upstairs gallery in dewitt mall. the show is with my fellow spirit and kitsch friends ben marlan, and werner sun. i am in the works of creating a map of "tomorrow" and a map of "somewhere", and hopefully a map of "forever." cant be sure until i get there...........................

humpty

this is a portion of another piece. the panels are 4feet high. i was especially happy to draw humpty. just because i could. it had something to do with the wall.....i am in quite a state of emotion. humpty knows he may fall as fragile as he is. but look how happy he sits. just to be there.

i am not who i was yesterday

this is one of my favorite pieces from the "curiousity changed her "show. i think at the moment they are all quite dear to me. like pages from within. the space they hang in, is intimate. this is the moment when alice knows shes different.

the story i tell is of longing, sadness and beauty. the show will be up until nov. and i will be adding new pieces.

monkey

this is monkey, i originally wanted a monkey, but when i read about the upkeep, i got a cat named monkey instead. yes she is as she looks. a "pip". ah another great old word. she spends alot of her time on my back, around my neck and ninja attacks when i least expect it. why just yesterday i was trying to talk on the phone and she kept trying to get the phone away from me.this is her awaiting an attack, but the flash of the camera lights her position. shes tucked atop my computer, at night its dark in that pocket. as i stood up to reach for something in the shelf above her, i was given a good furry paw swipe, as you can see in her expression. she has shown up in a few of my paintings, and i am tempted to put a stripe down my nose like hers. i am a member of her tribe.

trip to wonderland

wonder still how i will pull this off, so far it seems still a mystery. but at last here is your invite. the opening will be a mad hatter tea party. so dress-up is welcome.

afraid to say i decided not to wear the "classic" wonderland outfit, but i will wear something a little more "spirited". liz tilley is making me a custom apron. so i really think it will be fun, do try to stop by and you have until november to see it!!! i will be updating and changing it as the months go by.

trusting the universe

a very special customer that now lives in philly, requested a sighting of this painting. it's not finished. so i thought i would post a preview. even i have no idea what i will do to it next.

for now, i will just move on to the next panel, entitled" alice was fearless." i hope, as i slowly unleash them in a sketchy form, somehow i will be possessed to give them what they need. i guess its like gardening, but i am terrible at it. so that"s probably not a good analogy. i have only a couple of weeks left to whirl myself in this story. i guess i too, will trust the universe.
