went really well, lots of people showed up and were really interested in the exhibit.

the local paper did an article about it available bellow, even thought my name is spelled wrong......

I'm psyched and nervous all at the same time.

I'll post some pics soon,

Does anyone know the best way to get a grant or source of money for an art project?

I got some good news just before leaving school that my proposal for a show in a local gallery was accepted, but now i need to fund it.
To completely stay true to my vision I'd need about $2,600 but with a lot of compromises i can probably knock the price tag down.

I really want to stay true to my original plan so I need the dough to make it happen
If any of you know of a good way to get money for the arts I'd really appreciate it.
Ideally i want to print 26 images on canvas sized at 86" by 43" if this becomes to costly I'll have to consign to print them at a regular size and maybe take a few pieces.


I hate that art casts money to make. I'm working right now on the series of 26 and I'll upload them as soon as I'm done. I have a few new works i need to upload to, i've just been too caught up to really bother with it lately

Any advice would be helpful, but I'm determined to see this thing out like i want.

So this weekend my university paid for a concert to be held here featuring cold war kids and shiny toy guns. Naturally i was excited that i got to see them for free. Towards the end of the Cold War Kid's set list, some friends decided it was a good idea to hoist me up and start me crowd surfing.

Not gonna lie it was a lot of fun, and i was sure to stay away from the stage so that i wasn't causing any security issues, so as i get towards the back where the crowd is offer concrete one guy in the crowd reaches up and drags me down and pulls out his toy campus safety badge, tells me to leave the concert, I say that i'd rather not, and he pulled some retarded jujitsu on me and starts to take me down. At this point i;m really in no mood to exacerbate the situation so i just go down and he again yells at me that i need to leave. I say that i'm not doing anything wrong and that his job is to keep me safe, so congratulations for putting me in danger by tackling me on the concrete. At this point he realizes he's in a crowd of angsty college students who all just witnessed "the man" committing an act of brutality not to mention my friend had a video camera on the whole thing. So he let me go.


it was stupid.

I can understand he was doing his job, but still.... douche move.

Hang Me Up to Dry will never sound the same to me.

Today I went with a friend of mine to an antiwar demonstration in Hollywood. It ended being really cool, volunteered to help out when we got there and the organizers asked us to carry coffins draped with flags at the head of the march. We marched for about 2 miles through Hollywood past the CNN building and groman's Chinese theater. To be honest the organizers were a bit to militant in my opinion and there wasn't a big enough emphasis on non-violence but it was still a really interesting experience and i enjoyed the chance to part of something bigger than myself.


And there were some crazy people there too.
