Happy New Year Amigos


Hello!
2010 is coming to an end... And we all know what that means: No more free visits to Mars. No more Unicorn Shoes. No more flavor "grape." No more jelly. No more falling into wells and breaking our legs. I know, it's so depressing. But hey, think about all the great things coming our way: Cookies. TSA Molestations. Unicorn Moonshoes. The end of the Ice Age...








...And resolutions.
I have some resolutions. Well, they're "A.S.A.P. Resolutions" and not "New Years Resolutions."
Number One. I need to start doing my Kung Fu workout every day. I haven't done it in a while. It's hard. And I'm lazy. But I can't become a Kung Fu master like my hero Jackie Chan if I'm just sitting on my ass. Unless we really do live in the Matrix... But I don't want to be anything like Keanu. Douche.
Number Two. Post one blog entry a day. This isn't hard. Not sure why I haven't been able to do it lately. I think I'll just start posting really awesome things. Like: Art progress shots. Bathroom mirror photos. My inspirations. Advice from Nubskull. Sketches. Videos (see below). Nude photos of your friends. Maybe I'll make some play lists. Shit I might just start posting haikus, because I'm that fucking creative! The more I post, the more you look, the more I feel good. (Narcissistic much?)
Number Three. Finish my damn website! This thing is taking me forever. But on the plus side, it's going to be boss. It's got stuff that blinks, and if you look at your computer screen from an angle, IT'S SHINY! I'm also going to make a website for FatFace Culture (which you can follow on twitter: @fatfaceculture).
Number Four. Make some awesome videos with the rest of FatFace. Music vids, PSA vids, funny vids, non-funny vids, viral vids, and other weird strange random awesome vids.
Number Five. Get on my twitter game. I sure have been slacking. Stupid Angry Birds game. No but seriously, the holidays were very busy for me. But that's no excuse.
Number Six. I've got to get rid of this lion in my studio. He keeps trying to convince me that I'm the only one who can save Narnio, or something like that. He's such a distraction, it's impossible for me to paint with him chattering about some imaginary world.
Number Seven. I have to stop being lazy. I need to get way more done. I do way to much sitting around and not enough doing! I can rest when I'm sleeping. Or when I'm dead. Okay, onward.








Logo Design

To ring in the new year, I designed a logo for FatFace Culture. You might have seen it cause it's been floating around the web, on the twitter and the facebook. I think it's pretty sweet. I'd like to get some stickers printed, but I need to shop around for the best deals. Got any advice? Or tee shirts perhaps? Although, I think we need a slogan...











Next Order of Business:
Art Party Photos


We had an art party. These are the photos I took during that time period.









Holiday Gifts


These are the gifts I made for people this year. And yes, that is Hagrid's hut.


























That about wraps it up for this post. Coming tomorrow: hopefully something!

Lost NYC Photos and Some Randoms.

It seems that on my way back from NYC, my Mega Bus hit 88MPH and opened a hole in the space-time-imagination continuum. As a result I thought I had lost this set of photos. Total BUMMER! Luckily I have friends in high places (Neo woa) who are willing to make a short trip out to the studio and drop off my pneumatic data spheres. Was anything I just said english? I don't know. Well anyways, the point of that story is that the photos made their way back to me! Schweeeet! They're not really too impressive except for the piece by Ewok. But shoot, I'm not a trained photographer... So here they are.




These photos are just random ones that I take here and there. Some are photos of photos, some are self portraits, some are photos of art work, some are just photos of random shit, some are photos from all the alternate dimensions that I travel to in my free time, and some are photos of friends. There is a slide show, and then below that are some of my favorites. Enjoy, and be sure not to get sucked into dimension F63, it's a rough one.









Thanks for stopping by, leave some comments and let me know what you think. More artwork coming soon as well as a finished imightbeinsane.com

Now I must go. It's time for an art party! I have some friends coming over, and we are going to make glorious creations together! Schweet!

Progress Pics & Some Words

I promised you some progress shots from some current projects so here they are.
























I have way more projects in the works too, like some dunnys, some munnys, a pirate themed dart board cabinet, some Christmas presents, new stencils, affordable stencil paintings, Gentlemen Hall related works, fashion accessories (rings & sunglasses for now), some run-on sentences & and much much more!

Tomorrow is Nub-Skull Wednesday, whatever that means.

Now if you'll pardon me, it's tipsy painting Tuesday, and I have some drinking to do. Last time I did this, I ended up drinking paint and dipping my brush into my drink. What a chump. This week, Big Foot has challenged me to a drinking contest. He's got about 400 pounds on me, but I definitely think I can take him. Cheers!

Past two weeks in review.

Auks, Solnine, KDonz, and I went down to Central Square to do some painting! Originally we had planned on painting some bums, as Central Square is full of them, we thought it would be easy. Wouldn't you know it: National Bum Day. They all had the day off! They were no where to be found. So we headed over to the legal wall. We then robbed some poor defenseless old lady of her two ladders. It was surprisingly warm on the rooftop, right next to a classic Obey poster. We felt it necessary NOT to deface the Shepard Fairey piece, so we forced a collaboration on his is famous ass. But hey, check out these photos:



















Then I spent Thanksgiving on a farm in Ohio! And damn was the food good and fresh. I ate bread from a newly built outdoor brick oven and I ate some farm fresh eggs. There were animals everywhere and massive amounts of beautiful scenery. I got to spend some quality time with my future family which was quite nice. Here are some photos from Ohio, and the trip down. I took many of these from a moving car (12 hour ride, had to keep busy somehow) so they might be a bit blurry (stupid camera). So what's new right? From this entry on I intend to bring you only quality photos. Nub's honor.







This is almost a 360 degree panoramic photo from the highest point at which I could stand on the farm. It was cold as Hell in my PJs so I didn't get the full circle (for shame). This panananamoranarama also features my Megsicle (my freezing fiancé Meg, see what I did there?).







Then I went to Brooklyn to hang with some old friends and go neighborhood hunting. CAUSE I'M MOVING TO BROOKLYN! Cool! I took these pics outside my friend's bar The Pine Box Rock Shop (you should probably check it out). If you're into street art you might recognize these artists. If not: Eine Roa & Sweet Toof. There may be an iansanity sticker or two floating around in that area too.














That about wraps it up. Like the Egyptians (haha, I'm so funny)! Here are a couple of other things that I have in the works:
1. I'm painting a sweet, old, long African mask. Going to be the jam.
2. Designing a tee, featuring a non-Nub character. Going to be the jam.
3. Working on 4 or 5 different canvases. Each one will be the jam.
4. Website makeover is in the final stages. Going to be the jam.
5. Working on some new things for Gentlemen Hall. Going to be the jam.
6. Starting the beginning stages of developing an app with a friend.
7. Did I forget to say it was going to be the jam?
8. Progress photos of those paintings coming tomorrow. Going to be half the jam.
