Nobody panic. This is only a test.
Recently turned in cover artwork for a marvelous collection of letters called Sunlight at Midnight, Darkness at Noon - The Cunningham/McCreesh Letters, to be published very soon by Orange Alert Press. Already seeing positive feedback popping up on the www, including kind words from the co-authors, poets Cunningham and McCreesh...
"The thing is dead fucking perfect. The detail, specifically how he used exactly the typewriters the letters were composed upon is great..." -Cunningham
"I really think he delivered an excellent cover for us, I couldn't be happier." -McCreesh
I'm totally flattered. Amazing feedback from two amazing word turners. Thanks guys!
Orange Alert Press will be publishing Sunlight/Darkness in a hardcover run of 26 - all of which are SOLD OUT, and a paperback run of 100 later this spring. Pre-order your copy today!
The letters are thought provoking and roughly beautiful. And I absolutely love that they are LETTERS. Typed on typewriters. Sent via snail mail. Always lingering in the background. Just out of sight. Adds yet another layer to the entire experience. Read for yourself. Yummy links...

Wonderful project, book, poets and press! Thrilled to be a part of it all!
In other news...
Not sure if I'm supposed to announce this yet, but the main show announcement is posted so...
Around 10 paintings of mine will be hanging as part of the May show at Instinct Gallery, downtown Des Moines, IA. Older pieces. Newer pieces. None of which have anything in common. Which is why I'll be calling this, my first gallery show, ETC. Fitting methinks. Totally psyched to hang at Instinct! Part of a larger show featuring the wonderful work of Michelle Holley. Opening reception details to follow.
Check out Michelle Holley here.

As a famous and very animated pig with a speech impediment once said- That's all folks!
Take care of each other. Be nice to each other.
Best,

I don't think your clients are real. All my clients are closet art directors, who know how to make my stuff better. Rarely are they correct.
Congratulations, all the same!
Busted! Guilty as charged. It's true, my clients are figments of my imagination. To be fair, I can't help it that they love me. Totally beyond my control I assure you. Grin!
Closet art directors. HA! Knock on wood, I'm the only one driving my crazy go-cart. Vroom & vroom!
Thanks for the congrats! You just might be the only person that reads my blog. Either that or you're a stalker. HA!
