I hardly ever post to my Tumblr because NO ONE READS IT, which again is probably because I never post to it, but in case anyone inadvertently does … Just another reminder to come to my show this Saturday! There, now no one can say I didn’t try. There will be wine and Chinese dumplings just like at every art show worth going to.

If you’re in the area, come visit me tonight (Tuesday, April 30) at iYo Café in Davis Square, Somerville for a special “Meet the Artist” event! My paintings have been hanging there all month and I’m getting ready to take them home. I will be there from 6 to 7:30 to sign autographs and then force people to take them.

If you look pathetic enough, a real designer will come along and do the work for you!

The science of organ transplanting progresses rapidly. Good thing I am there to document it all.

Perhaps there is some truth to that nasty cat-hating Nature article complaining that cats kill billions of native and endangered species of small mammals a year. So long, genetically modified mice with human parts! I guess the world was not ready for you.

I swear, one more and no more drag queens!

I have just started the third in a series of potentially four drag queen paintings. I am digging this one, although I have to make it more obvious that she is not in fact holding an apple in her hand. I am going to assume it was probably more like a green apple martini. Once I finish I plan to show the ladies of Jacques’ Cabaret, which is where I took the original photos close to six years ago. I think it would be awesome if I could get them to come to my show in May, but that may prove to be difficult. Female impersonators are busy people!

Fin! I will upload a better picture of it eventually that isn’t quite so slanted.

I am going to have a solo show this May at the StoveFactory Gallery in Charlestown. It is going to be a lot of work, work that I have only barely begun. What is one thing you can count on to be at this show? More drag queens! Here is one I just started.

It’s true, I’m not very good at updating this blog. What makes it so tricky is having seventeen other blogs to update. Here is a book cover re-design I did for class. It’s one of my favorite books, so I thoroughly enjoyed the project.

My submission to the upcoming Lincoln Arts Project group show “EVERYTHING THAT CREEPS.” The call-for-art portion of the show will feature B-Movie/Horror movie posters. Some of you might recall “Anatidaephobia” from Gary Larson’s The Far Side. This invented phobia is the fear that “somewhere, somehow, a duck is watching you.”
