BIG NEWS

So a lot of you might know that I've been working on an illustration exhibition at Quirk that opens in September. Well, September is right around the corner and things are finally coming together for it.

We have such an amazing list of participating artists, like John Foster, Gary Kelley, Anita Kunz, Patricia Martin-Nelson, Joe Morse, Tim O'Brien, Roberto Parada, Tifenn Python, and Greg Swearingen.

"Tables to Walls" will be a fantastic show, if I do say so myself, so keep Friday, September 7 open, and plan on coming to First Friday! More info to come.

The shop show at Quirk this month is Kim Hoeckele, a resident of Brooklyn, NY, and a talented pen and ink artist. Her botanical whimsies capture an innocence in nature with their simplicity and honesty. If you are in the Richmond area in the next 2 weeks, be sure to stop by and take a peek.

new blog to check out

I stumbled on Sara Antionette Martin's blog Beastie Weenies, and especially liked her Delectable Monsters! Another selling point is that she works for Kid Robot- maker of the Dunnys! Her Mobile Munny (pictured below) is pretty amazing. So check out her site and prepare to fall in in love.
One day I think I might get in trouble for taking these pictures without asking... but I'm really just trying to expand creative horizons and introduce people to new, exciting things! So please, understand that I only have the purest of intentions!

this is right up my alley

not a lot of people know that i am a mustache enthusiast. i mean, what else could explain my passionate love for the dandy dunny? fecalface has come up with a contest that proves that mustaches are not dead!
check it here.

Morrissey, Morrissey, Morrissey!

How do I begin to describe the awesome power that is Morrissey? And how was I able to see him twice in a week when I've been waiting years? Both shows were completely amazing and perfect. Amber has tons of great photos and videos, including the one where Timmy kisses Morrissey during "How Soon is Now?" How he was able to get away with that, I'll never know.

PHOTO CRED: AMBER! (Do you think I could have taken such a glorious picture?)

new look

to anyone who actually reads this (which i think may be no one?) i re-vamped the page a little. this here is a print i just bought off of tiny showcase, which i think i've mentioned before. a glorious little diddy of a website that brings little prints each week to the public with a charity receiving the profits from sales. this one happens to be by justin b. williams, a fellow blogger!
