So I am having another selflesh giveaway over here. Yay! In order to qualify, simply become a facebook fan of selflesh and then leave a comment under the giveaway image.

Of course if you don't win this piece it's also available in my shop, along with many others.
;)

So, for those of you anxiously waiting to see more images from the recent show I was in... I have finally gathered my photos of the Aggregate show together and have posted most of them to my website. I also have them posted here.

I'm chewing on posting fine art related posts to a new blog, which is likely a crazy thing for me to do, but at the same time it might be nice... We'll see...

I think I'll post some of the images from the show here soon, but I may also begin posting on another - fine art focussed - blog. I'll keep you posted.

I hope everyone is staying warm.
The winter days are certainly in the air here.

P.S. Justin has a print (and a lovely interview) available through The Working Proof.

Some of my work was recently published in the book Perfect Paper by Page One. It's an honor to be included among so many talented artists!

Unfortunately, the book is not available for purchase online. However, you could contact them directly, or let me know, and I can see what I can do.

My work will also be included in another book that should come out early 2010 called Data Flow 2 (working title) by Gestalten. Here is the first Data Flow for your perusal. I must say, I am more than excited that they invited me to be part of the second book!

Here I am taking a bit of a break while installing the Germinate piece (Photo by LLL). It's quite sad that it will all be coming down early next week, so if you haven't seen the show, it will be up through Sunday, October 18th. I will be posting more professional images (by Peter Shellenberger) of the show very soon.

Here is a bit of press for your perusal.

It's been so long...

The past few months have been dedicated to making work for an upcoming show titled Aggregate. This summer I created a series of eight map collages titled Uncharted. In addition (with a little help from J, P, and K) I hand cut over 300 map gore shapes, and over 5000 map dots. It's been non-stop in the studio the past few months! Last week I spent seven days (with the help of L, L, and LLL) installing two large scale installations for the show. It's been an amazing experience, and I am truly honored to have the opportunity to show and share my work with the public.

If you so happen to be in the area, please stop by. I will be in attendance at the opening reception tomorrow Friday, September 4th from 5 - 8 PM at the ICA (at MECA) in Portland, Maine. If you can't make it to the opening, it will be up through October, 18th.

More images coming soon.

Another custom piece.

This particular one is a representation of a married couple who are expecting their first child. The two hands each represent where the couple is from, while the bird represents the baby to be.

I just finished creating a series of original mini embroidered map collages for the shop. They're kind of adorable (in my humble opinion).
