Every spring, the UNC Kidney Center organizes a walk/run fundraiser for their research. I’ve had the opportunity to work with them every year since their inception and I always have fun figuring out where to put the next Carolina Blue anthropomorphised kidney.

I’m heading to Minneapolis today for our Cloudy Collection Exhibition at Pink Hobo Gallery! I hope to see some of you there! We’ll have a reception from 7pm-11pm, and in the back room will be the MIX kickoff event, Drink & Draw. It should be a fantastic weekend!

What if…?

I’m super-excited to be included in the lineup for a show curated by the awesome Threadless pro, Joe Van Wetering, and his friend and fantastic fellow Chicago artist Paul Octavious. My piece for the show supposes “what if we connected ALL of the dots?” Its title, “Mathematical Gems”, comes from the found book integrated into the painting.

What if… “asked artists and designers from all over the world to explore some ideas surrounding alternate universes and some generally out there themes. The parallel universes of more than 50 artists will collide in Chicago on August 20.” Yes, that is one-night-only at Chicago’s River Park North, though if you are not in Chicago they will post the art for sale online after the event.

And yes, that is an amazing lineup of folks – so great! If you get a chance to go see the show, I’d love to see photos!

Stumptown | 20/20 | TCAF | Special Editions

David — Sun, 10 Apr 2011 20:45:11 +0000

I have some things coming up! Also, stuff! Calendars at the ready!

First: I will be at Stumptown Comic Festival in Portland, OR, this weekend, April 16 & 17. I’ll have piles of Cloudy Collection prints, some comics, buttons, stickers, and more. Plus I’ll be taking on-the-spot commissions for cheap! I’ll have lots of drawing gear with me, like pens, brushes, pencils, watercolors, etc. so bring an idea and a few bucks! Find me at table D-5!

Second: I have a print in the “20/20 Vision, 4th Edition: The Art of Contemporary University Printmaking” group exhibition at Fire House Gallery in Louisville, GA. April 27 through May 29 (Opening Reception – Saturday, April 30, 7-9pm) That’s my 22″x30″ screen print for the show above, plus a detail of how the transparent layers turned out.

Third: I will be launching the first Cloudy Collection Special Edition for 2011 at the Toronto Comic Arts Festival. The edition is made possible by the awesome and amazing Annie Koyama of Koyama Press, and features 15 different artists, custom slipcases, and a bunch of great art. Check over at the Cloudy Collection website for more information, or to sign up for the mailing list.

After all the hubbub dies down (and during and in-between, too) I’m working away at my first official children’s book illustration project! I’ll show you what I can, but we’ll all have to wait until fall of 2012 for the big reveal!
