| News |
| An illo I did a few years ago was recently used for a Seattle Stranger cover! I curated a "Button-O-Matic" for Busy Beaver. We'll be having an opening in Chicago August 8. More info soon. The show I curated for Scion has been covered by Juxtapoz. More write ups at Poketo & Think. I did a bottle for Mtn Dew's Green Label project. More info on the launch as soon as I have it! We're doing a G-shock too! Nuts! The panel I spoke on at SXSW this year called "Curating the Crowd Sourced World" is now available as a podcast. An impromptu Q and A session I had with John Maeda in November has popped up on his RISD blog. You can pick up a crazy affordable print of mine at 20x200.com. (Featured in the October 2008 issue of GQ!) You can read a rather intense review of my early 2008 solo show at Wootini here. |
Issue #11 of my magazine Faesthetic is out! |
