Happy New Year everyone and welcome to 2008. On the news front there are a bunch of things coming up. Firstly Friday January 11th is the opening of “Left Behinds” a group show that i am taking part in that is being held at Suite 100 Gallery 2222 2nd Ave.,

Suite 100 Seattle, WA 98121. It has some amazing artists and i will be premiering some new non-house pieces that are hot off the easel.

Also i have a limited edition screen print selling through the great people at the art bureau dot org.

It is a triptych titled “Try as i might” each print is hand pulled by the great folks at tender loving empire and the quality is amazing. Best of all they are only $15.00 for all three. Better snap them up quick. you can find them at the art bureau etsy store.

So thats all for now.

soon enough

Also this Friday (25th of January) i will be putting up work at CLICK that will be showing and rotating freshly for the next 3 months (news on the opening soon).

At the moment i am working out the bugs, so it is not open but it will in the coming weeks. I will be offering paintings for sale o the website that you cant get anywhere else.

I will also be opening a new website for just the

Anyhow on the to shows that are happening and upcoming. Firstly i am a part of a clock show at the pony club in Portland. Its a great show and i suggest anyone down in Stumpton call in and check it out.

Secondly my show at CLICK! is still going strong. I have been switching out work for new work and the second thursday of April we will be having a Closing party. More info on that in the next couple of days.

I also have a piece up in SOLO BAR as part of GHOST GALLERY’S miniature show. It will be showing until April 20th in the Queen Anne ‘hood of Seattle.

Thats all for this moment. More news soon.

If you can get a chance swing by the Elysian Fields in the Sodo area of Seattle in the next month and a half and check out my newer large scale works. I have them hanging in the “fishtank” room.

I have also uploaded a new video that i have just finished for a local Singer Songwriter by the name of Jonathan Kingham.

I will be putting up some new paintings in the next week and attempting to set up the store section of this site with direct sales.

Thats it hope your all well.

Thursday May 30th:

The Scared of Genre Fillms dot com site is finally done. I am pretty happy with it. it now replaces the film section of this site, but if you hit the link it is a simple re-direct. And i am now finishing off the store section that should be up next week!

Fingers crossed.

peace
