Hi. Just wanted to let you know that I have a few upcoming shows that open in February. New work at all three shows. Much thanks to Joe, Paige and Anna for having me be a part of all this. I’m really stoked to be making new work and showing it again… seeing as that I’ve been on a 6 month hiatus from painting :) Anyway, all info is below. Hope to see you at one of these shows.
100 BONES @ Breeze Block
What it is: It’s the second annual 100 Bones show at Breeze Block which features artwork that is $100.00 and under.
Why you gotta check it out: I’ll be showing 4 brand new pieces 8″ x 8″ priced from $40.00 – $100.00. Plus – there will be a grip of really cool artwork by other folks. Breeze Block is a great store + gallery that recently moved from Alberta-land to East Burnside. They have rad handmade stuff from local creative-type-people, cool art books and zines + fashionable fashion-stuff. The creatures sewn from bicycle inner-tube rubber are among my favorite things one can find here…
When it is: Friday, February 6th from 6-10pm
Breeze Block Gallery
1847 E. Burnside, Ste. C
Portland, OR

Featuring: Mildred, Michael Frank, Paul Estrada, Meg Adamson, Justin Lovato, Ashley Montague, Joe Polillo and Me.
HAND CRAFTED
(curated by J. Shea)
What it is: It’s the first art show at a great little cafe on the corner of SE 39th and Lincoln ( Lincoln is halfway between Hawthorne and Division).
Why you gotta check it out: I’ll have a brand new piece in the show + there will be wicked-awesome stuff from a great selection of local talent.

Voyeur @ The Love Show
(curated by Anna Todaro)
What it is: The Voyeur show consists of pieces of eyes that stare out from the painting at the audience. The Love Show is a group showcase of works focusing on the topic of love. This year, the Voyeur Show will be a part of the Love Show… One might deduct that it will be an exhibition of lovely eyes… perhaps it will!
Why You Shouldn’t Miss This Show: This show will consist of a collection of work created by individuals who organize art shows/websites/books/projects. Plus, Voyeur will be contained within the ginormous Love Show which will have like a bazillion pieces. Not to be missed!
Opens: Friday, February 13th from 7pm – Midnight

Why is the flier spelled wrong: Hmmm… yes I did make the flier, yes there is a hideous spelling mistake on it. Now, I’m inclined to blame symmetry, or perhaps my lack of a proper education, but no… neither of these are right. I blame the fact that my sketch book lacks a spell checker. I mean come on people, this is the 21st century and all….
