Dutch artist Christiaan Zwanikken has a showcase of his amazing work up at Jinxed/The Toothless Cat right now. He takes skulls and skeletons of rodents and small animals and animates them with steampunk style robotics. His beautifully creepy sculptures move, dance, lightup and head butt like something out of an old TOOL video. The show is being displayed in conjunction a screening of a new documentary film called 'Convento' he and my buddy Jarred Alterman created.

I went to the opening on Friday night and Chris' pieces blew my mind (and scared my 1 year old a bit)!
I highly recommend checking out the show. It's some of the freshest work I've seen in a long time. The documentary airs tonight at 9pm on the big screen in the Piazza.

My buddy Ben finally launched a portfolio website. Do yourself a favor and go get lost in his intricate habitats, digitally!

My buds at Awesome Dudes Printing just launched a new site where you can buy shirts and posters and junk. Check it out:

I got stickers made!

Said stickers will go into every poster purchase from now till they run out. You heard me, free stickers in every tube!

I used the startup custom sticker company, Stickermule who was giving out discounts to artists who would give them a shot.
I have to say I had a great experience ordering from Stickermule. their site is fresh and easy to use and the people are awesome to work with (even when I sent them a file that had totally fucked up CMYK breakdowns for some strange reason). The finish on these is real nice and satin like. Much nicer than the usual plasticy cheapo vinyl stickers you always see. I'm really happy with the way these came out.

Checkout Stickermule's site. I believe there are already in the works for an update. These guys are real movers and shakers. I will be using them again.

I have a couple prints up in a "visual art opening" at my former high school to help promote their first annual Arts Festival. The real purpose is to show the students that not all graduates end up in investment banking. A few of us keep on making the artsy-fartsy.

The show also features work from other Haverford alum that used to hang with me down in the art room like graphic artist KENYONB, photographer Frank Abruzzese and brooklyn painter Peter Hoffmann.

When: This Friday 3/10 5:30 to 7:30
Where: Centennial Hall Gallery at The Haverford School 450 Lancaster Avenue Haverford, PA 19041
