I am having the first show of my work at the University Art Gallery (Dept. Art and Design) of California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, California, from Jan 9–Feb 20, 2009.

Oddly enough, this is the first time I’ve made a poster for myself. I originally planned to make the whole thing in fun fur, but it didn’t work out so well, so I used scraps of fun fur, including making my name … which turned an elegant hand-drawn script into something that looks a lot like a tarantula. I threw in some patterning, some vector art, some pencil drawings, including a sketch for the poster itself and a little drawing of me, and the result is kindof a mix of what I’ve done in the past plus what I’m interested in in the future. It’s precise, and a little odd, and a little funny … I hope.

The show itself has over 100 pieces, including some video, 25 or so original drawings, some paintings, posters, photos, etc.

Big, big thanks to Jeff VanKleeck, who invited me to have the show, and who is working his ass off to get it ready.

I’ll also be speaking at CalPoly on Jan 16th, 2009.

Oh, yeah … details typeface is H&FJ’s Acropolis. One of my faves.
