A "sign-off sequence" is the little clip you see at the end of a TV show that tells you the production company and I just finished animating one for Verbal Substance.

I'll be vending again in the shadows of the DC goth nightclub scene at...

EXPOSURE
July 3rd

What can I say? My offbeat blacklight-reactive artwork feels at home among goths, mods, and rivet heads.
With the 4th of July holiday the next day, there's no excuse not to come out and partake of the decadence.

TONIGHT AT X

2008-06-21T10:56:00.002-04:00

Danny (A friend and DC artist known as PhantOM) has asked me to participate in a "live painting" event at X! This month's theme is "Old School/New School". Danny will be representing the new-school. I'll be representing the old.
Come party with us!

The idea is to tag-team our efforts and create a painting "live" in a nightclub environment with all the distractions of music, people, and booze. It should be a lot of fun and I encourage everyone to come check it out!

TONIGHT! Saturday, June. 21st
6-10pm
$8 cover*
BeBar
1318 9th Street NW DC 20001
www.xindc.tv

*Receive a reduced cover charge of $5
for incorporating the theme "Old School/New School" into your outfit.

Commission Original Artwork

2008-02-25T16:19:00.005-05:00

I was recently asked to recreate a smaller version of one of the paintings featured on my website (Bovine Abduction). Some of my paintings are on the large size... but that doesn't mean I can't provide a smaller, less expensive, version. All you need to do is ask!

If you can dream it, I can draw it!
