6/29 Make My Monday- Sketchfest at Fort Mason

I'll be sketching at Fort Mason Center on Monday June 29th as part of the new "Make My Monday" event. Here's the description from their website:

Got a case of the Mondays? Your Monday is about to get a makeover. The last Monday of every month, starting June 29, 2009. Fort Mason Center will host free happy hour events with the perfect blend of cocktails and culture. Make My Monday will include live art, drinks, and music. Take advantage of the waterfront views, enjoy drink specials, and support the local art community. Make My Monday is held in the spirit of similar events, such as San Francisco-based Southern Exposure's Monster Drawing Rally and 111 Minna's Sketch Tuesday, or the Drink-N-Draw of NYC, Portland, and Chicago. While sipping cocktails, local artists will create original, affordable artwork available for purchase from $5-$50.
RSVP at mmm@fortmason.org or on Facebook to hold your place at the bar.

Hope to see you there!

Burlesque Poster Design Book - Out Now!

Korero Books just released an amazing collection of Burlesque Poster Design. The samples on the website look fantastic, compiling artwork from events like "Exotic World Weekend", "The Yard Dogs Roadshow", and "Velvet Hammer Burlesque". Arists include the likes of Glenn Barr, Paul Pope, and yours truly. They printed my design for the 2004 Miss Exotic World pagent and my portrait of Dirty Martini. I'm awaiting my copy in the mail, but they sent me a preview of my spread via email. Thanks Korero!

Photos from "I HAVE THE POWEr" @Double Punch

Saturday's opening for the He-Man themed "I HAVE THE POWEr" was crammed with people and fantastic art. I question whether many of the attendees were old enough to catch He-Man the first time around, but the spirit was all there. Here are some of my Flickr photos from the event:

New Prints for June, 2009

I've just update my store with five new prints for June, 2009. This month's offerings include "Faker and Child" (seen above) which is part of Double Punch Gallery's "I HAVE THE POWER" He-Man themed art event. I'll be rotating these out in July with a fresh batch of five, so get them while you can. If you missed out on the previous five offerings, stay tuned because I might slip one or two back in from month-to-month.

Also, the store section of my site serves up an RSS feed of the current listings. If you plug this into your favorite RSS reader (like iGoogle, Netvibes, or Pageflakes) you can always stay current on the latest prints.
