Hello friends–
There’s a lot of news for the summer! Check it out!
Print Edition Released
My friend Matthew Langley down in D.C. recently started a new project called 246 Editions. He’s producing highly affordable print editions, and my edition has just been released.
For my print, titled Sun Dog, I used the occasion to try a new approach. I constructed the image digitally with scanned brushstrokes and utilized Photoshop’s layering functionality in a similar fashion to the way I layer actual paint. This image is exists only for this special edition.
The limited-edition archival pigment print comes in two sizes and price points:
$20–8×10
$50–11X14
(plus shipping and handling)
Affordable…right?

New work still on view in Philadelphia
A very new painting, called Snap & Crackle, is still on view through July at Bridgette Mayer Gallery here in Philadelphia. Bridgette invited me to be part of a group exhibition to benefit the organization Back on My Feet, which helps people transition out of homelessness. I’m happy to tell you my piece was sold before the opening, and glad to be able to participate and contribute to this cause. There’s a lot of great work in this show. Read more about the exhibition here.
Drawing Published
In 2006, Chris Ashley and I produced hundreds of collaborative drawings, culminating in the exhibition “Across the Borderline“ at the University of Dayton in early 2007. One of our collaborative works, from the series Tethered and Untethered Stars, has recently been published in Hawk & Handsaw–The Journal of Creative Sustainability, published by Unity College in Maine. More info here.
Album Art
My good friend, ex-pat, and consummate guitarist Daryl Shawn, has just released two very different albums of instrumental music. I designed the album art for each. Body of a Poet features Daryl solo nylon string guitar, the art and design comes from my personal photographs. Repetitive Miniatures is a completely unique concept for an album. Rather than listening sequentially, Daryl intends for each track to be put on repeat and listened to for as long or as short as you desire. The album art features small drawings I made in the late 1990s hanging in various spots in my studio.
Daryl is currently on tour across the US. More info here.
No Rest for the Weary
This fall my work hits the road again…this time it heads west to Ohio and Minnesota.
Stay tuned for details about upcoming projects in Cincinnati and Minneapolis.
Have a great summer!
