the rikrak studio

The rikrak studio has wrote a post about her husband being a man of letters in celebration of becoming Dr. rikrak or mr. rikrak, Ph.D.  Here is the image she used for the post, pieces of art and vintage letters for via etsy.  She used my piece for the letter t.  I thought is was a great honor. Thanks!

Finished

My 2010 calendar is finally finished!  Check it out at my shop and let me know what you think.   More images below.

2010 Calendar

As promised earlier, here is a sneak peek at 6 of the 12 months for my 2010 calendar.  Pictured are 3 details and 3 full pages of how each month will look.  The cover (not pictured and not finished! yet!) can be trimmed to become a print ready to frame or taped to the wall, whichever floats your boat.  It should be completed and in the shop on fri.  Let me know your thoughts on it.  Goodnight!

Paint Made Flesh

The MAG has an incredible show up called Paint Made Flesh.  I can't wait to go check it out, possibly fri.  Any takers???  The above painting is by Jenny Saville, she is pretty much one of the best painters around.  It will be great to finally see one in the flesh.  Yeah I know, that was lame. 

My 2010 calendar is almost complete.  It is only taking me forever to finish but I think it is looking pretty good.  I will try and post images later, and by later I mean tonight.  That is all.  Hope everyone enjoyed the nice weather.

The bugs grew into flies.  I think.

No. 27

One of my favorite things in the world!  Great way to break in the new stadium, I will have to go next year!

a little late......

Here are this years pumpkins that Jen and I carved!  I am seriously obsessed with our dog Gino.  Jen has become the owl lady out nowhere also.  On fri night a group of us got together at a frineds house and made about 10 pizzas and carved pumpkins.  We had a great time.  These are camera phone pics so I don't have any shots of the other carved masterpieces.  They included a pumpkin with a pumpkin carved into it, a nome, a smiley face with a prosthetic nose and accupuncture needle between its perfect circle eyes, pacman chasing two ghosts, an angry face, and a cat with an eyepatch and gills.  Can't wait till next year!
