October 2011: Slowly beginning to be known as 'the giraffe guy.' Not sure how I feel about this. But whatever. Been called worse. Got commissioned to paint one of our long-necked friends for some friends leaving town. You can find the states of Illinois and Texas in the neck. Take a look...

September 2011: Finished up a poster for School of Rock's upcoming CLASH recital. Love them lil' tikes. Here's a look-see. And yes, I REALLY liked the 'Rock The Casbah' video as a youngster. Also threw together this little design for a realty company. More giraffes...

July 2011: Designed 3 new Secret Handshake shirts for sale at this year's Pitchfork Music Fest. Here's a quick look. Order yours here or here. Also did a painting as part of a fundraiser for a friend's movie. Ever wonder what Andrew W.K.'s infamous bloody faced album cover would look like if he were a giraffe? Well, maybe something like this.

June 2011: Having my first solo photo show this month at Darkroom here in Chicago. Pretty excited. Had a hard time editing down years of street photography to just a few handfuls of images. Come out on June 18th and see "The City And The Sirens." We're gonna BBQ, too!

May 2011: Participating in a few shows at R&R Gallery out in LA. Did this one for the "Cheese" show on May 13th. It's a visual interpretation of a very terrible pun as an ode to a friend who loves such things. Then there is the much anticipated "Willie & Snoop" show celebrating the unexpected friendship of Willie Nelson and Snoop Dogg on June 24th. I painted this lil' gem here. Now let's legalize it for Willie's sake...
