The Owlery Show

A sliver of s'me.

I have a number (24) of prints and drawings showing this month at The Owlery in Bloomington, Indiana. The Owlery is a new restaurant instigated by Ryan Woods and Toby Foster. It pays half of Bloomington to feed the other half vegetarian/vegan nibbles. May I recommend the "fish" and chips, the beer, and the nachos even. 

There was a faux-opening/poetry reading the night of April 30th featuring Ryan J., Matthew Whispers, Richard Wehrenberg Jr., myself, and the wonderful poetry of Bloomington's Tara J. Below are recordings of the readings, and after the jump are photos of the art installation. All of the work is for sale, at prices between fifteen and fifty dollars. I believe the show stays up until June 1st. Upcoming shows at The Owlery feature the artwork of Erin Tobey and Nate Powell - exciting.

You can visit The Owlery at its perch - 212 S. Rogers St. Bloomington, Indiana, 47404.

Punks Make Art #2

 Robert Ryman's Social Conscience (jk). White-out, Xerox, 2011.

On March 11th I showed some drawings, paintings and prints at The Doll House in Chicago, Illinois. The occasion was the second installment of 'Punks Make Art,' an ongoing series of music shows with art accompaniment that is curated by Matt Walsh and, I believe, Ramsey Beyer. Musically speaking, The Boy Who Could Fly, Paul Baribeau, Al Scorch and Muchas Gracias played songs to some 100+ people. And 100+ people sort of stood around, packed like sardines, blocking the art on the walls from being seen - tipi punk.
