concrete jungle, at the paper heart

new exhibition at the paperheart in downtown phoenix, the first friday in june (the 2nd).

these three pieces of mine should be up (from left to right, iago, terrence, and othello), plus two new ones that i'm trying to finish up (always working till the last minute, but if finished, it'll be leroy the younger, and marty (sunday morning). maybe avri the bartender as well, who knows).

if you are unable to make it to that, come to the artist reception on the third friday (the 16th, but i think you'll have to pay to get in that night, it's also a wine tasting night).

(the girl in the lower left is leona (as mentioned in the previous post). i don't actually know if she'll be at the show, my friend lee who made the postcard above liked how she worked in the design, not whether she'd be at the show. blame lee.)

gonna have some stuff on display from march 20th to april 15th (or so) at a stinkweeds recordstore in tempe, az (www.stinkweeds.com). these two pieces will be in it, othello and iago, as well as quite a few more, but i'm not sure which ones yet. hopefully i'll be able to finish some of the new stuff that i'm working on.

here's what the pencils of these two looked like:





and here's what the complete images look like:





iago lost the snake tattoo in the oils, hopefully it'll get put back in some day.
