Analogue Books solo show!

I'm heading back over to the UK for my next solo show entitled "All I Heard Was The Echo In The Light" which opens on June 4th at Analogue Books in Edinburgh, Scotland. There is a bunch of stuff in the works for this one... all new collages, prints, wooden people & lots & lots of flags. Analogue is also producing a 2 color T shirt, seen below, and there will also be a a new limited zine/catalog with screen printed pages and other goodies.

Here's a little bit about the show:

All I Heard Was The Echo In The Light is sunshine, desert & succulents. It’s going outside at night, watching the dying suns and witnessing the new ones being born. Everything to and from dust. Geodesic domes, the 1960’s, the sky & being alone. It’s about all the people I have never met. It’s about all of us living and about all of us dying. It’s about all the love I have for everything. There may be a crystal or two involved, sorry, I tried to keep it scientific. It’s sewn. It’s printed. It’s painted. It’s 100% handmade. Everything is infinite. It will last forever & it will also end on July 10, 2010.


I'm also going on a super abridged tour of Scandinavia with stops in Gothenburg & Oslo.. so come out and say "hello!"

2K by Gingham

Super hyped to have a bunch of new T's coming out with 2K. There are no words to describe how awesome this is.. I mean, I've got shirts at the same place as Milton Glaser! Not to mention the tons of other amazing people.. Anyway, for those of you that have been wanting my heart graphic, aka the We Are Not Two We Are One in another format asides from a print.. your wish has come true. I got my sample this week and I love it. It's my favorite T shirt I've ever made. Anyway, keep a look out.. they'll be available worldwide soon...

Vannen Watches // summer watch

So, it's not exactly an entire new watch, but I did design new straps for my holiday watch to make it a summer watch... you get 2 sets of straps, the original holiday themed one and the new summer explosion ones. It's like a transformer. It's hella rad. & for you non Californians that means "it's awesome." Click the images to get better detail views...

You can pick one up here.

Kitsune Noir Desktop Wallpaper Project

I've got a brand new desktop wallpaper available over at the amazing Kitsune Noir blog.. and it's for pretty much any size screen from your ginormous monitor to your PSP & it's totally free! It's half computer drawing & real life paper and pen drawing with some old book pages I cut up and scanned in. I can never seem to make anything solely on the computer.. Super big thanks to Kitsune Noir, where you can literally get lost for hours looking at pretty things.

you can download my desktop here.

CHICAGO

I had an amazing few weeks in Chicago working on a rad project for Puma.. & got to hang out with friends I've literally known since I was 5, awesome to see you Eric & Catherine (soon to be Dr.)! Also, got to hang out with the always awesome Ben Floeter @ Suddenly It's Real (congrats to you and mama Natalie!), Floyd Davis @ Artpentry & thanks to Cody Hudson for the much anticipated & super awesome lunch @ Hot Dougs's.



We all went to some awesome restaurants that I just can't stop saying enough great things about: The Publican, Lula Cafe, Xoco, Frontera Grill and Orange. I also went to the Christkindlmarket like everyday for brat's w/ kraut and coco.. so rad.



Eric told me that Chicago has the world's largest reflective bean, which is located in Millennium Park, which leads me to think that there are other reflective bean sculptures of lesser grandeur out in the world... which is sort of weird. Anyway... CHICAGO = AWESOME!!!

Bodega // vinyl wall art

I have been working on a collaboration with the skate company C1RCA and the first round of shoes and T's are being released in the spring of 2010. Here are some preview shots of the first men's and women's shoes I did for them that are to be released... these are completely made from selvage denim and have t's to match.



I want to thank the blogs : Concrete Skateboarding, Freshness Mag, Kicks On Fire, Empire Ave, Sneaker News, & Transworld Skateboarding for some rad posts & giving my shoes some love..

BLOGGGG LOVE

I've been making some appearances as a quest blogger for Busy Being, C1RCA & Moytoy.. I don't have much to say so it's pretty much the same info as on here... which is a bad sell on my part, but there are others blogging on those sites and there is a lot of rad stuff going on, so you should check them out.

Also, I wanted to thank the blog Share Some Candy for the nice post they did about my work and studio.
