Dogs in COSTUMESSSSSS!!!

Halloween is coming. Don't fuck it up again this year and sit at home pouting because the craft glue on your 12' handmade Shriek costume didn't dry in time. What are you gonna wear?!? MORE importantly, what is your Dog gonna be? This isn't my first post about dogs in costume, nor my last. It dosen't get much better than this, trust me, they LOVE it. xx

Check out this goldmine AND a matching Shark Attack costume for human!!

Here are some more brilliant ideas. Hurry hurry, get your glue guns, staples and thread, this holiday only happends once a year!! Unless you're on drugs or go to burning man- and then you're just a hippie- and in that case you probably already smoked your dog and you're trying to take a resin hit right now from his remains. Gross Hippie, gross.

Kissing Cousins/LA Weekly

The snake on the cover (by Hannah Stouffer) points to a past that's about as far from Silver Lake as one can get: Kissing Cousins singer Heather B. Heywood grew up the daughter to an Alabaman Pentecostal preacher before she moved to L.A., and it's her history with religion that most informs her band's LP debut. The music too sounds of another place and time -- Richard Swift, who produced Pillar Of Salt, has described the band as "the Shangri-Las-meets-Black Sabbath," and he's not too far off. Reverbed tambourine, lilting flute, heavy guitar and vocal harmony are the bones to which all else is tacked, and there's something about all that fuzz and spirit that plays best on the turntable.

Los Angeles on Fire

Every so often a large chunk of Los Angeles catches fire.

It happens, in the same way that a mosh pit happens at a death metal concert: you know it's coming and you just hope you're not near it when it does. And if you're smart you don't go to the concert in the first place, but I'm not about to leave California.

Angeles National Park is currently ablaze, and luckily it's not a place that's heavily inhabited. But there's a lot to burn there, and apparently the smoke is drifting at least as far north as Reno, NV, about 7 hours away. Thank you Flickr find. God, these are so gorgeous.

Origami Records/ Kissing Cousins

The turnout for the Kissing Cousins vinyl release the other night was incredible. Not that I should be surprised or anything, it was just warming to see everyone come to hear the album, drink a beer and hopefully catch a glimpse of the installation I did along with the work for their newest release, 'Pillar of Salt'. KC sounded beautiful, the acoustics inside the record shop matched perfectly with the macabre undertones and I was honored to be a part.. I'll post more detailed pics as soon... thank you Origami.

Red Brick Art Center

My opening at the Red Brick Art Center in Aspen, CO was a monumental event. I'm not sure what it means to go back to your home town and show some newly created darkness to family and friends that I have known my whole life, in what used to be my preschool- but Surprise!! I love you!!

This is your Spirit talking

Rumor has it the Spirit Animals book from Chronicle Books is out. I've yet to see it. I did however find these pics up from Lisa Cogdon, another contributing artist on the book. Just a preview...

SMTWTFS

I got listed on the Artist A Day site as the daily pick- I just discovered this page after getting an email from an archeologist who was interested in buying a 10,000 BC print, they noted they saw my work here. I'm kind of honored... mainly by being able to draw someone that digs up bones for a living- that has an interest in my silly rendered attempts. I'm always the dork at the natural history museum that stares into the fake 'excavation' area, watching patiently while some 18 year old pretends to brush the debris from some newly discovered plastic dinosaur...

Saturn Devouring His Son

The Black Paintings of Fransisco Goya

Cannibalism, senseless murder, witchcraft, kidnapping, dogs dying, weird, strange, macabre… These all describe the murals painted on the artist’s walls in his own villa. It was the end of a long and successful career. He was alone and sick, had gone deaf, lived through the terrors of Napoleon, and probably had about enough of the world and life in general. It was time to unleash the true scope of his power by digging deep into the subconscious and pulling out, writhing and screaming, the scariest possible visions imaginable. This was the dark genius of Fransisco Goya
