..another video giving a peak at another new painting. I chose the appropriately creepy song 'Dark Night of the Soul' sung by Mr. Bizarre himself David Lynch. If you haven't checked out this Sparklehorse/Danger Mouse album do so immediately. It's been a consistent soundtrack during my recent works. r.i.p. Mark Lincous

...a very quick video of me working on a new piece for an upcoming show. I plan on doing more elaborate ones in the future with a higher quality, but I'm simply testing this out for now. I'm getting excited with every painting I'm working on...a lot of time/work, but the satisfaction of a completed piece is priceless.

It's been a while since I've sat down & hammered out a new blog post updating you peeps on what the hell I've been up to, so here I am now & gosh darn it, this just feels so right...

Two weeks ago I attended Austin's first Comic Con & enjoyed it thoroughly.  A conblobulation of talented artists, wacky celebs (The Human Centipede cast smelt surprisingly fresh & had no noticeable scars) & the collection of impressive, DIY costumes made the experience a memorable one.  Here Predator takes on Mr. Bruce Wayne himself in the lobby while unsuspecting fans went on with their joyous wanderings inside the Convention.  They fought for seven hours straight & later shared a giant pretzel with neon laughs & dark, family tales...

I met a few new friends & got a lot of ideas for next year as I plan on having a table.  I'll of course keep you updated on that.

....

I recently completed a painting for the 'Mix 'N' Mash' exhibit & art sale being held at Mexic-Arte Museum in downtown Austin.  All artists were given a 12"x12" gessobord to do what they want with it.  Since the deadline was so close & my time was limited I did another 'Bottom Feeder' design....

The exhibition will run from December 3rd-January 2nd with each panel being sold for $100 or any 3 for $250.  If you fancy mine, try to get down there & call dibs on it.  It will tie any room together with some matching throw pillows...

....

The groovy people at Munky King have launched their newest toy...the Omi.  With this new release, they will be having a showcase of custom Omi's from different artist ranging from masterminds like Alex Pardee & Greg 'Craola' Simkins to the "Who?" artists like me. The Omi Show will be held at their shop in Los Angeles from December 11th-December 31st.  My "Z'Omi" custom will be all smiles there....

And finally, amongst the mentioned & other projects going on, I'm still vigorously sketching in my Sketchbook Project book when I can as you've noticed in my post below.  I've been updating the post regularly with my new pages, so I hope you're checking back.  Or if you think it looks like poo & have no interest in it, I hope you're sticking to your guns & not checking back.  In that case, why would I even type that seeing as if you're one of those people who wouldn't be back reading this anyway...

I'd again like to mention that I'm constantly updating my pals on Twitter with art I'm working on & other random, ridiculous ideas.  Follow me for the updates & you can be a "pal" too!  

With all of this I'm also still painting, sketching, smearing & poking away at personal art as my first solo show is on the horizon.  I have a lot of work to do still, so I wouldn't be surprised if I'm typing this same paragraph again this time next year.  We'll see...
