The Friendship Show (Distance Recap)
Posted by – April 3, 2012
Lots of fun things happen when you’re least expecting or planning or available. Hot*pop in Milwaukee’s Third Ward, a boutique dedicated to designer toys, apparels, books and more, recently curated a show of some of the midwest’s finest up and coming creatives. Dwellephant, Chad Edwards, Greenbeanbaby (Ellia Hill), Fred Kaems, Eric Hancock (me), Catherine Palmeno, Dierdre Hatton, Jeremy Pettis, and Cara Corder joined forces to collectively bask in the wonders if the newly turned seasonal change and spread their talent in one of my favorite gallery spaces in the city. Intimate, comfortable, and full of awesome guests and hosts.
Alas, I was unable to be there during the opening reception but my pal Chris took some great pics to capture the spirited nature of the event running through May 18th with another Gallery Night & Day in the near future from April 20-21st. Check out the pics and stop on by Hot*pop, 213 N. Broadway Milwaukee, WI
Cat Outta Hell II :: The Process.

So I recently was a part of another of Milwaukee’s fantastic group shows. The theme revolved around covering or recreating a book, a movie, an album, a video game or whatever’s cover. Covering a cover. Whoa. A topic I spent many hours on pondering from Highlander to Legend to something more involved like Labyrinth. Books? Lord of the Rings, Dune, Confederacy of Dunces? Hrrm. I ended up going to iTunes and utilizing the “COVER”flow feature and tripped through some Michael Jackson, Michael Penn and finally fell face first into Meatloaf. Double Whoa. Here’s the process from sketch to final:

Tea Towel Calendar Collaboration
Posted by – December 19, 2011
This marks the second time that my fiancée Karen and I have collaborated on a project. Completely illustrated by Karen (I drew the beaver though), this tea towel/flour sack calendar is ~26″ x 26″ celebrating the upcoming year and available for holiday splendor and gift giving. Use it for a tapestry wall hanging, under glass on the coffee table or desk, or perhaps just to wipe your hands on the days to come?! Such a fun process that inspires further collaboration.
Love to hear your thoughts or just check it out over at the Digital Snowshop!

Some awesome full-bleed photos and a few paragraphs within outlining the suggested images from #TwitDrawin and requests for the private commissions. Starting from the first scrap to the most ambitious, procrastinated piece. With your support, I am able to continue producing such tiny masterpieces. Looking into moving to Oil Painting next.

Lightning and Castle Thunder..!
Posted by – November 21, 2011
Some great working relationships deserve collaboration. Castle Thunder, whom you may have heard me talk about in the past is on the cusp of releasing the long awaited EP, Wolf in Sheepskin. To celebrate and expand on their branding, we’ve put together the amazing two color screen printed poster (printed by Orchard Street Press who did my last poster for Valley Maker). Cyan and Fire Red on Whip Cream #100 French Paper! Such excitement. Available at the Digital Snowshop. I think the images will speak for themselves:
