Blessings & Curses.

I know I have not been around too much and my online presence has been minimal, but that is mainly because I am just trying to get my head together. April 19th marked one year ago that I lost my grandmother and although time does help heal, you still miss having this person around. Two days after the anniversary of my grandmas passing, I had to attend the wake of one of my college professors who was also a good friend of mine. Frank Lauro was one of the first people I met in college, we took an immediate liking to each other and would always discuss his writing, my artwork, movies, music, comic books and anything that would bring us a good laugh. I exchanged emails with Frank often and I always kept him informed on things that I was working on creatively, speaking with him just a week before he passed. Frank Lauro was a great man who I will miss a great deal and I hope one day I can reunite with him and we can finally make that graphic novel.

The way my life seems to go is, if something really awful happens, something great is right around the corner and vice versa. So, with this being said, I have some good things coming up.

Returns & Exchanges on May 2nd @ Revolution Tattoo & Art Gallery with Toby Stanger.

My interview/feature on the Nerd City podcast should be up on April 27th. www.nerdcityonline.com.

The new issue of Dangerous Ink with my 2 page spread should be hitting the states in a few weeks.

I was recently asked by a magazine from the UK to be the featured artist for a upcoming issue. I will have a color cover, pullout poster, 6 full color pages and 2 B & W pages. I will fire off more info as the time draws closer.

Interview now online.

I hope you are all doing well and getting amped for the spring. I just wanted to send out a little email and let everyone know that the good folks at www.alittleexcessive.com took a little time and did a interview with yours truly.

I am always surprised when anyone is interested enough in my work to want to do an interview or purchase something and luckily for me, Zach the interviewer has done both...so for that, I sincerely thank him and the crew at www.alittleexcessive.com

Go check it out when you get some time. Thanks as always for those of you who always show interest in my work.

Building a New, Stronger Army.

Here are a couple shots of the studio and the new army of Midwest Ghosteeez. I plan on having about 40 of these available at the May 2nd show. I got about 20 more to make between now and April 26th (when I set up my part of the show)

Some Men Just Want To Watch The World Burn.

Playing with some sketches and character development for upcoming paintings. Most of these characters will be at the show on May 2nd at Revolution Tattoo & Art Gallery( See 2 posts down for full info on show)

Minor Changes.

I decided to change my art for the Returns & Exchanges postcard. I wanted to use a current piece that I just finished.

Come to the show. It is gonna rock face-holes.
