I acquired this lovely illustration from the Canadian illustrator Eric Orchard. You can buy his children's books directly from him. His work is friggin' awesome.

Prepping for the Exhibit

I have to stop working on the drawings for the Extraordinary Renditions exhibit in Reno. This was one of the last images I snapped in the studio (this messy studio image might be the last view of the old studio - I move to a new studio this Fall ... I hope).



I might use those wonderful red velvet ropes my Mom so kindly made for Nuclear Dichotomies. I am trying to decide if they are too over-the-top, but considering there will be surveillance cameras in this exhibit and I want to separate visitors from the images, the ropes seem very appropriate. Plus, with so much black and white in the exhibit, I like the shock of red...

PLEASE Stop Rockin'

As a few of my friends already know, I use Shazam on my iPhone not necessarily to identify good songs, but usually to identify a shitty song that I hear while in a restaurant or store (some place I am forced to listen to top 40).

While at Pepperjax for a quick dinner with Beth, I heard another horrible song.

"God this song sucks. Who is this?"

Beth didn't know, so I pulled out my iPhone and started up Shazam, not expecting Shazam to identify the song over the din in the restaurant during our din din. I was amazed Shazam identified it. I was even more amazed that it was a collaboration between arguably the all-time worst top 40 band (REO Speedwagon) and a nearly equally awful band, Styx (with Journey, et al, it is hard to know if they are the two worst bands ever).

While calling up the song for more info, I found the bands are touring together this summer.

Ugh. I feel sick to my stomach. I hope I don't barf up my dinner...
