I just finished a few new paintings for a group show I'm in that opens tonight. The blurry iphone image above is a new work on canvas that will be shown along with 9 other pieces.

The reception is at the Green Living Gallery space on 8th (off Charnelton) in Eugene from 5:30 to 8 pm.  It's a new space located inside Brenners Furniture. It's not officially on the Art Walk schedule but it's right smack in the middle so please come check it out. I'll be there between 6 and 8.

So funny. Via Waxin' and Milkin'.

Just finished the cover art for the digital release of the first studio album for the band Science Heroes. The album comes out this coming Friday (Feb. 27th), but you can download the first single "In Which Dr. Carter Unleashes Arcane and Malevolent Forces Upon the Waking World" at the bands music store. Check out the track below.

This was the animators graduation project from the Royal Academy of Art, 2007. Fantastic. Check out more of John Kelly's work here.

Greetings. Today's clips come from the world of Tae Kwon Do. Usually the one place you will see a plethora of elaborate kicking skillz. This is mostly due to the fact that TKD is a contact sport and there are rules- i.e. you can spin kick a dude if he's not trying to cut you with a Portuguese Switchblade (broken bottle). If you studied other forms of Kung Fu or Karate, and especially Jeet Kune Do, a teacher would most likely tell you not to try to pull a roundhouse off in a real fight because they are pointless, flashy and require a lot of wasted movement. Nonetheless, the TKD practicioner usually gets these kicks dialed, and to see one used effectively is a sight to behold. Enjoy.

Technically this was a spinning back kick. Not a proper Roundhouse. But just dig that crazy "pop" sound when he connects.

If you've followed this blog for any legnth of time you've seen me post work I've done for the electro-rock duo Science Heroes. They are getting ready to release their first full length studio album and below is their lead single "In Which Dr. Carter Unleashes Arcane and Malevolent Forces Upon the Waking World". Awesome title. The new record "Transmission Zero Hour" will be digitally release February 27th. I'm working on the album cover right now so stay tuned to see that. In the meantime if you are in the Eugene area on the 27th, Science Heroes are playing with Portland bands The Slants and Archeology at Muse Lounge.
