While walking past a dumpster in Austin TX I come across a wild eyed hell cat, Clementine. Now, I don’t normally chat up ladies I find naked in dumpsters but this girl was different. After a few minutes of quality bonding, I decided that I’d help her clean up and set her loose on the town. The following photo gallery is decidedly NSFW. It was a hell of a night for us both. But I have to say…she’s a real doll! Thanks for such a damn good time Clem…too bad you won’t remember any of it tomorrow!
As you may or may not know I just got a new tattoo on weds of this week. It is a custom Ray Gun that my good friend, and amazing tattoo artist, John Saletra, helped me design. Notice the adorable spider on the handle. This would be spider No.5…which completes my spider tattoo collection in the most appropriate way!
Why a ray gun? Well I do love a good weapon of choice. This ray gun is about my personal control and power. It’s about love and sex and energy. Watch out folks…I’m permanently armed and dangerous!
What can I say, these are delicious. I mean, sure I don’t know what I’d actually DO with them or where I’d put them or why I desire them so much. But DAMN, they really are cool. I want a whole 60’s playset please, complete with cocktails, switchboard operators, mistresses and secretary pool. The Marketing for this series has made leaps and bounds. From character tweets to collaborations with Banana Republic and Vanity Fair, the advertising efforts for this incredible ad agency drama are truly worthy of the Sterling & Cooper stamp of approval.

I have a fascination with Gun imagery. Much like my fascination with spiders…symbolically I connect with them, however in reality I don’t particularly care to have them around. So when it came time to get my next tattoo I have the perfect spot on my leg for a gun….a sexy RAY GUN. Why a ray gun you may ask….well if its a fictitious gun it can shoot anything I want. That makes it far sweeter than any old violent killing machine. I go in today for my version of a ray gun….picture to be posted in a few days when it doesn’t look so….well….wounded. But until then I thought I’d post a killer gallery of my inspiration.
The New York Times posted an article about raising, killing, cooking and eating bunnies. This doesn’t seem right. I mean, I’m a serious carnivore but bunnies….well they are too cute and have too much character to be food. I can’t make the leap from eating cow (also arguably cute but you know…..delicious) to eating these tiny super fuzzy soft loveable creatures.
Artists respond to the detention of a same sex couple for showing affection on LDS property and or the idea of public display of affection. The exhibition will open Friday February 19 and run through March 14 in Salt Lake City at NoBrow Coffee, the Utah Pride Center, Ken Sanders Rare Books, Alchemy Coffee and Kayo Gallery. All venues will be open for gallery stroll on February 19 from 6pm to 9pm.
Above is my piece for the PDA show. They are large format vinyl floor stickers to denote “official” areas for PDA. They can be seen at each location at the exhibition and around Salt Lake City.
If you know me you know that there is nothing I like more than being delighted. I used to have a friend who’s highest compliment would be to describe someone as “neat”. “Delighted” is a lot like that for me. If I find myself delighted I know damn well it’s gonna be a great day. Check out this little ditty from OK GO and see what it does for you?
Mike Wikan, of the Strong Island Wikans, put together an interesting collection of Artists to participate in the first Art Swap. The idea was we each had a month to create an original piece of art and then in an organized, yet random looking way, he decided who would send that piece to whom.
I just mailed the above piece off this week. Its a small sculpture titled “Dangerous Toy”, made of acrylic, odessey cartridges, fabric, paint and swarovski crystals. See details in the gallery below.
Pictures from the opening reception of Battle of the Sexes – featuring my sculpture/installation “Fetish : Platinum Edition” have been added to the recent work section. The Platinum Edition of Fetish was commisioned specifically for the show. For questions or comments about the piece, please get in touch.
A very limited number of the Fetish Platinum Prints are still available for purchase. They are 13″x19″, unframed, available as a set of four or individually.
