I see you... You're spontaneous. You like to live on the edge. You order pastries and don't ask about their filling. You pour your coffee into your travel mug without first checking if it will fit. You answer incoming calls with unknown 800 numbers. You even wait to purchase tickets for your favorite show until you reach the door.

Well, you're in luck. The trickster gods are smiling upon you, and the forces of responsibility have spared you one more time. If you're among the first 50 or so folks to arrive at the door of the circus guild tonight looking to buy a ticket you will indeed be able be able to attend Hot Damn Scandal's Belated Birthday Bash.

Be one of those first 50. Presales end at noon.

Come on down to the Cirque Lab TONIGHT!!!
Doors at 6, Show at 7pm.
$25 at the door
21+

I recently finished a logo project for Snuggle Buds, Jasmine Jean's incredible project which makes dolls for children with cancer and other potentially terminal illnesses. They're in the midst of a holiday fundraiser so they can reach more children in need. Please consider donating, if you can.

I've been doing quite a bit of work for Crooked Constellation, my new favorite bluegrass band. Andy Ingram has been a pleasure to work with.

Before their full length album came out Crooked Constellation made a 3 song EP, Wild Mountain. Limoo Rosebrew made the front cover art, I made the back cover and disc face.

Crooked Constellation's most resent album, Whistlin' Wind. This has been one of my favorite projects to work on, to date. I love painting the night sky, and especially sunsets, and I love constellations. So Andy has given me plenty of fodder for inspiration. Can you name all the constellations pictured herein?

Did you know that Jimmy Austin teaches Jazz Improv lessons? Well this is a poster template I made for him a while back. Inspired by the art of Monty Python.

A show that happened a couple weeks ago. Fulfilling all my jackalope dreams. I borrowed this art from an old postcard. Artist unknown.

Camp Tipsy is a summer festival in California where attendees build boats and other floating vessels and party real hard. They hired me to make this t-shirt design last summer.

A crest I made for dear friends Mars Lindgren and Rowan Dart's home.

Intuitive Compass hired me to make this album art a couple years ago. If you look closely you might see some jackalopes hiding on the slopes.

Jason Dea West, of Intuitive Compass fame, has been building up a solo act as well, and a couple years ago I made this album art for him. Album two is possibly coming soon.
