Awesome things: Being in a new city is great, and setting up in a new place is exciting. Not so awesome: is that moving cross country is expensive. While i’m scrounging for cheap studio furniture I came up with a free and workable solution by using the cardboard boxes from our move and remaking them into furniture pieces.

I have desk for my computer and speakers as well as a series of shelfs for my drawing paper, matte board, and completed drawings. In the middle image is a work bench sapce with storage underneath for pens and such.

and in the back is plastic home depot shelf that hold a ton of stuff and an hydraulic drafting table that was laying out in front of my neighbors house. Not a bad space to get working.

With so many CDs being given away these days that it makes sense not to spend too much money on what is considered marketing material. Now getting a Cd from discmakers can cost you about 4 to 7 dollars per Cd depending on how many bells and whistles you get with your order. The more you get the lower the cost. Though even now I will admit that disckmakers does offer some much lower cost options. Which is fantastic.

What we did here  was piecemeal a few different things together. I’m a huge fan of doing as much as possible on your own the cheaper the better but somethings you can’t do. We order these awesome no glue required sleeve packs made from light recycled cardboard. We burn the CDs on bravo primera that i got from a record label that was throwing it out. It just needed a little TLC to get the draw unstuck. We also ordered a larger sticker that acts as the front and back cover of CD. Lastly we also got a large foldable poster that inserts inside. Acting as a advertising poster, and also a lyric book, by having the words printed on the back.

We got all this stuff together and, and spent a night putting together around 200 full color CDs, with a poster/lyric book. in the end putting a good number of CDs together for under $2.00 a Cd, and that’s with me getting paid to put it together, and print the CD.

New paintings are up on the site. You can check them out in the gallery and above. These Are small paintings 16×20 Oil on Canvas. The paintings are mirrors of each other representing different cities that are separated by water. Bombing each other from their cities.  The cities are very much alike as is the composition to represent that this cities are practically the same in structure, ideals, and goals. Yet regardless they bomb each other, such as in life.

A series of drawings based on a dreamscape realm where instruments and musical equipment grow on trees. Here the farmers till the land and bring the harvest to the mill where they make their primary export, which is music, that is then sold in the neighboring towns.
