A party this weekend

Just a reminder, I'm selling work at SLCC FanX. Like the last couple years, I'm sharing a booth with my art pal Christopher Keith McAfee under our super moniker of Keith & Keith. We both have made some things we're very proud of. So come check us out at booth Silver 5. The bad news is I won't be there. If you hadn't heard, I had a stroke about six weeks ago. I have, for the most part, bounced back and recovered. I'm just not ready to rub shoulders with 80,000 people. For the record, if you haven't been to a FanX or ComicCon, there's so much more to see than my face.

My daughter likes make-up

     So, my youngest says she wants to be a make-up artist for TV/film OR she wants to be a forensic anthropologist. The result is some wild glamour make-up, but she also does a lot of horror make-up like in these pictures.

This explains a lot...

     What's your earliest memory as a child? Mine is a recurring nightmare about Frankenstein's monster.
     You see, I was about 2-3 years old. Around Halloween my dad went to a rummage sale and purchased an Aurora brand model kit called "Big Frankie". See the attached vintage advertisement.
     It was about 20 inches high and almost 12 inches wide, nearly as big as I was. To me, it resembled a terrifying flat-headed child in enormous shoes. For a while it stood on the dresser by my crib and scared the be-who-whats-its our of me. So, it was inevitable it would invade mt dreams. About the same time, Dad acquired one of those floppy cardboard skeletons with brass rivets at all the joints. In my nightmare, Frankie did a creepy dance and he moved like that skeleton. I remember this pretty vividly.
     On more than one one occasion, people have said "Wow, this explains a lot..."

A Show!

see you there!

Remember when I said there'd be swag?

Here's the stuff I promised you.  I'm always happy to see images make the jump from sketchbook doodle to tangible art object.  Whatcha think? There's only six different printed images so far.  For now, I'll have to get the prints done in batches as I can afford them.  I've been looking into fulfillment companies, i.e. places like cafe press and society 6.  At least that way I could get it all out there all at once.  If you have experience with these websites (either as a buyer or a seller) I'm looking for input.

t-shirts $20

buttons $2

prints $12

stickers $2

pillowcases $18

New Art On A New Blog

     I've been working on these off and on for about six months.  It's new work and I want people to see it, so I figured I'd start a blog. I call these ink drawings "Nightmarish Nightmares". In the near future, there will be silkscreen prints on artist's paper, T-shirts, buttons, stickers, and (wait for it...) pillow cases.
