Seem familiar at all...? Really fantastic stuff; brilliant idea and superbly executed.
A reminder about the upcoming deadline for this year's Gen Art Emerge exhibition; worth a shot, right? Looks like they don't want slides anymore, so it's even easier now to get things together last minute.

Excuse the bad photos; will have to pay more attention to lighting next time I take pictures.

I'll be in a show coming up in September with Olivia Park, another 20-something artist from the Bay Area. According to the website, the show will be up from Sept 8 to the near-end of October.
I'll keep you posted as I learn more. I'm really going to push myself to make all new work for this one, so watch out (especially the friends who're destined to become the newest models).

Sign up by September 15th
You sign up ... , then we're going to send you a Moleskine sketchbook. You fill it up with things that scare you. When you're done, stick it into the postage-paid, pre-addressed envelope that we provide you and shove that sucker in your mailbox. On October 27th, we will have all the sketchbooks on display across the gallery walls of Art House, our Atlanta, Ga based gallery.
Show put on by Art House Shop (http://www.arthouseshop.com/)
A detail of a piece recently commissioned. I've never seriously drawn dogs before, so this was a nice change. Entire piece is 22 x 15", sumi ink on Arches watercolor paper.
Popped into Needles + Pens last Friday to catch Paul Urich's solo show up now until July 29. He does some fantastic work with gouache and tape (the middle image is made almost entirely of tape, I believe). Try to see it if you can; N+P is also a great source for zines and crafty things (i.e. DIY clothing, jewelry, patches, etc.).

The Investing in Artists grants program is designed to enhance the working lives and creative environment for California artists by funding tools and market strategies that will allow them to create their best work more consistently, and distribute that work more broadly to new audiences. Investing in Artists provides grants in two funding categories: 1) Grants for Artistic Equipment and Tools, and 2) Grants for Presenting and Marketing Work.
