Ghost of a Facade

It's that time again for another show at the old Jefferson Davis Hospital (Elder St. Artist Lofts). This time it will feature new works I've been sitting on for the past couple months and others that are still in the process of being completed. I'm hosting this event as part of the 3rd Annual Inner Art Corridor Open Studio Tour and hope to see you there!

2 Days Only: April 26 & 27

If you're interested in seeing my latest paintings on wood I'll have about a dozen pieces showing very soon...

Ongoing Exhibit: Feb 4, 2008 through April 26, 2008. There will not be an opening reception for this event, sorry.

Location: PremiumGoods 2416 Times Blvd. Houston, Texas 77005

If you're in the Rice Village area one day please stop by and take a look. These other two artists are really great. Should be cool!

Art Crawl Success!

2007-11-19

Thanks to everyone who came out to support the artists in the Still Standing show. It was a blast!
I was so pleased with the event that maybe, just maybe I'll start planning another event in the near future ;-)

3 Shows! One Night Only!

2007-11-12

If you're in Houston this weekend make sure you check me out at the ArtCrawl. I'll be at 3 spots on the route with different work at each venue.

But this group show in particular is my first one to ever curate and you should definitely check it out HERE.

Hope to see you there!

Hiatus

2007-10-01

Unfortunately, due to my compulsive working habits the condition of my arms has gotten so bad that I can't even perform basic functions such typing or brushing my teeth. Because of this I've been forced to clean up my studio, cease all outstanding projects and stay off of the computer as much as possible. I'm currently in the process of seeking medical attention and rehabilitation. It saddens me greatly to be in this position where I can't even utilize my passion to create or communicate with my colleagues. Please have patience with me. I will resume my projects once I get this taken care of. Thanks for your understanding and support.

Updates Rolling Out...

2007-08-14

Just wanted to mention that I've added about 8 new pieces to the site AND launched my new side-project: Art For Truth

I'll continue to update the site behind the scenes and will hopefully get the photography section looking real nice within the next couple months. That's my goal anyway. I've also been working hard on integrating my YouTube & Flickr sites as well so that there's alternate methods for viewing my work.

Thanks for your support. Desperate times call for creative measures.

The Lollipauperz Get Up Online

2007-08-08

In case any of you have been wondering what I've been working on lately I thought I''d drop this link to the Lollipauperz Collective Archive on Flickr. I've been working on this project for so long I lost track of the time it took but it sure does feel great seeing it all displayed online, FINALLY. More to come as well so stay tuned...

My YouTube Channel

2007-06-15

Hello everyone! Don't worry, I've been doing a lot of work behind the scenes and you'll see fresh stuff soon. I've got RSI in both of my wrists so things have been slow for me on the internet lately.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I've been uploading all my videos to YouTube so that they're more accessible for people. I hear a lot of reports that the videos on my site don't work for some reason.

Anyway, Here's the link:

I hope everyone is doing well.
