	Two stories about the barns I painted in September on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. One from the Chestertown Spy is here, and one from the Cumberland Times-News is here. The "quilt barn" is 60ft long and 18ft tall. The other barn is smaller, but I painted three sides. I recently did a brief interview with Illiterate Magazine in Denver. You can read it here. I kinda like my answers -- brief and inconclusive. And I really like that several of the "black" paintings I've been working on lately are featured in the story. The Cecil Whig newspaper (in Cecil County Maryland) recently ran a story about the barn mural project. During a two-week artist-in-residence at West Nottingham Academy I worked on two murals in the county -- one I did myself, and for the other I worked with about 25 West Nottingham students. Click here to read an online version of the story. I was interviewed for a segment on The Story With Dick Gordon. It ran on NPR stations across the country. You can listen to it online. Click here, scroll to the bottom of the page, and click on the player. My segment is a bit past the middle of the show. Here's a link to a short video that ran on WETA TV in the DC area. It's Bill Dunlap on Bill Dunlap -- the "other" Bill Dunlap is a great artist, and I'm so glad he and I are friends. The video touches a bit on the Poetic Aesthetic show at the Univeristy of Maryland and the barn mural project. Here is a story in a DC area paper about the Poetic Aesthetic show at the Univeristy of Maryland. I have five pieces in the show. More info and pictures are here at the Art Gallery web site. The barn mural project was featured on the front page of the Washington Post on December 23rd. You can read the article here. To my amazement, the story also ran in the Dallas Morning News, San Antonio Express, Baltimore Sun, and other papers. In October, I completed my first barn mural for the Poetic Aesthetic in Rural Maryland project. In 2011 I will paint several more murals across Maryland for the project. More info at the My Love For You site, and more pics on my site here. Some nice words about my art in the "Better Weather" show at 111 Minna Gallery in San Francisco posted here on the Street Level web site. I have art in several group shows coming up. One is called Better Weather, curated by Jay Howell at 111 Minna Gallery in San Francisco. Another show is a fundraiser for the oil spill clean-up efforts curated by Meighan at My Love for You is a Stampede of Horses. Also, Paper Spaceship is putting a show together at The Knitting Factory in Brooklyn. So many shows, so little time! Artist, author, and all-around excellent person Caleb Neelon put together a great show of hand-painted text pieces with hundreds of kids in Boston. And I got to paint a few signs, too! The show is called Signs and Symbols and is on view at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. You can learn more about it and see some great photos at Caleb's web site. NYC newspaper Paper Spaceship released its new issue in April. 10,000 free issues distributed in the Lower East Side and Brooklyn, and each issue has an 18"x24" poster of my Passion painting. Extra posters were pasted up around town. On the cover of the Rolling Stone! Did I say Rolling Stone? Dang! I meant Fecal Face! (Really, so much better in every way.) Here's a snapshot. I recently found out that a piece of mine has been purchased for the permanent collection at the University of Wisconsin at Green Bay. Hmmm, I need to make it up there some day and have a look. None More Black That's the name of the group show I was in. It opened October 23rd at 4th Wall Project in Boston. The other artists in the show were Elisabeth Timpone, Chad Chesko, and Tony Bevilacqua. More info here, and here are some photos of some of the larger pieces I had in the show. O, Brave Monster! Lead the way! OK, so now I'm selling MONSTER SHIRTS! Lots of MONSTERS, lots of shirt styles, colors, sizes! You REALLY need a new Monster Shirt! Actually, you probably need like four or five. Now's your chance! Been very busy lately and haven't had time to update some things on the writing front. Five pieces have been published recently: We Like Ike in Hangman #8, Coyote America Action Block in Dale Smith's Slow Poetry collection (PDF here), The Very Origin of Artaud's Crablice in Halvard Johnson's War Papers #3, and a long (for me) and nearly un-readable piece called A Substitute for Death in the July issue of Midway Journal. Also, a while ago, The Sea Walks Away With a Burst of Laughter in Sugar Mule #29. I've also added these to the writing section of this site. I interviewed Jake Watling for Fecal Face. Read it here! Here are some photos of the opening for the You've Got Light in Your Eyes show at Needles and Pens. I have a BLOG now, but don't ask me why. OK, better late than never. I finally got around to posting some images of the Apenest print, printing process, etc. Have a look here. The Stampede continues. There is an Artist Profile on me in the October '08 issue of Juxtapoz. It was written by Caleb Neelon, and features the Apenest limited edition print. The cover is by Conor Harrington, and there's a feature story on Monica Canilao. Lots of other good stuff, too. Apenest (that powerhouse of cultural influence driven by Cody Hoyt and Brian Willmont) recently released a limited edition print of one of my paintings, printed by Cody at Gemini GEL studios in Los Angeles. It's a 6 color print, 15" x 20", signed and numbered by the artist (me), printed on Fabriana paper in an edition of 50. You can buy one here. Kick Out the Jams, or "How to Get Into the NY MoMA Permanent Collection Through the Back Door!" Because of the hard work and great talent of Griffin Mcpartland and Chris Duncan, the complete collection of their 10 issue hand-made zine Hot and Cold will be going into the permanent collection of the NY MoMA. Issue 2 (or 9, depending on how you count), has just been released. I'm happy to have a few of my images in the issue. Well, well, well. This is certainly a very nice thing. Apenest, Volume Two has just been published, and is ready for the bookstores. Or you can buy one online. Needless to say, I am so happy to have my work in here with so many supercool art makers. Thanks so much to Apenest for putting it together. If you'd really like to go back farther, I have a news archive page here.
