“Wild Card”
group exhibition based on the Tarot Card Deck
curated by Anna Cerniglia, Heather Gabel and Myles Smutney
October 1 - 31
Johalla Projects
1561 Milwaukee Ave, 2nd flr
Chicago IL 60622
After looking through various designs of Tarot decks throughout its long history, we thought it would be interesting to invite a group of contemporary artists to share their interpretations of these mystical cards. Inspired by Carl Rohrig, a German painter renowned for his beautifully crafted deck, imagination is key. Each artist has chosen one of the 21 Major Arcana cards and recreated it based on their skill set and aesthetic.

Danse Macabre show in Belfast this Thursday

Belfast here I come! I am so psyched for this show and workshop, not to mention some rainy jacket weather. Hope to meet some new Northern Ireland pals at the show. Above is the beginning of the 12 foot long mural piece i've made for the show. Here's all the news that's fit to print, for more info check www.catalystarts.org.uk

Danse Macabre
'The dance of death unites all dancing to the grave’
22nd July – 13th August 2010
Opening 6-9pm Thursday 22nd July 2010.
Catalyst Arts will host a 4 week project, “Danse Macabre,” celebrating the collaborative nature of visual arts and music. The gallery exhibition features Heather Gabel, Martha Colburn, Helen McDonnell & Hornby, whose distinctive dark aesthetics each draw influence from punk rock genres through a diversity of mediums from sculpture and film to collage and tattoo illustration.
The project will also stage off site collaborative performances between Irish musicians Logikparty and US based artist Martha Colburn, and workshops led by Heather Gabel offering participants the opportunity to create their own music and sleeve artwork.
Through these events Catalyst hopes to offer the public a more interactive experience within a gallery context, and to encourage multidisciplinary engagement between various art forms.

Martha Colburn (16mm film visuals) performing with Logikparty (Dublin based No-Wave band).

Terror Eyes!!!

Sneak peek mothertruckers! Steak Mtn and I are doing a show together in Minneapolis this August at Cult Status gallery. Get INTO it.

Coming soon to a lucky wall near you...

She's here!!! Everyone's been asking for this and I could hold out no longer! These are 18"x24" silkscreened prints, a limited edition of 50. Does it bug you guys that everything I make and sell here is always limited edition? Do you ever feel like "Get over it! Make an unlimited, infinite amount already! " Well, it's not going to happen so get used to it...besides , how cool are you feeling when you can say you got one when all your friends are pining after them long after they're gone? Pretty cool I'd imagine. See, it's all for you. I'm doing this all for you. And now I kind of feel like you owe me because this print turned out so fantastic. In the famous words of Janet Jackson (Miss.Jackson if your nasty) "What have you done for me lately?" Well, I know what you've done, you've bought this print! Nicely done fine sirs and ladies.

Show Opening March 13th at Parlor Gallery

I am showing three new pieces in the group show "Dark and Lovely" opening tomorrow night at Parlor Gallery in Asbury Park, NJ. It's a Victorian (read: GOTH!!!) themed show so turn out the lights, put your favorite Joy Division record on repeat and get heavy with the eyeliner asap to get properly in the mood. This piece here is titled "The Empty Vessel" and is one of the three I made for the show. Two awesomely talented girls I've shown with before, Damarak the Destroyer and Chrissy Piper, are also in this one. You can find all the pertinent details at www.parlor-gallery.com

I am so stoked on these new shirts!!!

I am not an exclamation pointer but I am so excited about these I cannot help myself here! 3 new designs I am going to wear myself, I never wear my own stuff but I'm making exceptions for these. The designs coupled with the killer Alternative Apparel shirts are too powerful for me to resist. Sound braggy? Tough. I'm so into them. I hope you guys like them too, but if you do, hurry and get yours because I only made 24 of each.

Tears of Joy

Here is a sneak peek of one piece I am showing at the Dark and Lovely show at Parlor Gallery this March. Stay tuned for details...in the meantime, get ready to put your money where your pretty little mouth is because the new shirts are finished. I should have them in my paws by the end of the week which equals you wearing one by next week. There are three new heartbreakingly awesome designs guaranteed to worm their way into that most coveted by all of your other shirts category...the "my favorite t shirt" spot.

I'm baaack...(in black).

Did you guys miss me out in cyberspace? I've had my hands full of the cutest baby girl you've never seen, but trust me on this one, she is a peach! Anyhow, she is also a regular time bandit and has been stealing all mine for the last 3 months but never fear, I've managed to eek out a few new pieces, including this little number here. There is some crafty new stuff in the etsy store, my favorites to date actually, and I'm working on even more which I'll be adding this weekend. I'll be showing some work in a group show at Parlor Gallery in NJ this March and again in another group show at Cult Status in Minneapolis in April. I just marked down the remaining shirts left in the store, there are like 5 left so scoop 'em up so I can get the next batch going! There are only 1 each of the show posters left too so hop to it!
