this month’s (August) issue of Indianapolis Monthly has a little write up on my studio and the recent covers i have done for the Indianapolis based Angie’s List Magazine.

thanks to the folks at Angie’s List and Indianapolis Monthly, its nice to get a little recognition in the neighborhood.

just a little note about a short Q&A in the Insights section of commarts.com called drawing-subconciously
where i talk about a cherished drawing i did as a child, looking up words in a thesaurus to stir-up ideas and why there’s nothing wrong with taking on a “real job� to support your work.
like i know what i am talking about…

a detail of the drawing of a buffalo when i was 6 that i mention in the Q&A

well, its OFFICIAL. my illustration has been featured in the Sept-Oct 2008/ Interactive Annual 14 issue of CA. never thought it would happen but something i have always aspired to. dont know what else to say…
the writer Matthew Porter was a delight to have around for couple days, i am not much of a people person but he knows how to get you talking and knows how to make me seem like maybe, just maybe i know what i am doing…
thanks CA and thanks Mr. Porter.

and thanks to my representative Magnet Reps for their continual support and belief in my work (even when few others did) They truly help me continue to do what i love.

I was amused this fall when Sherri Cullison of the new Stretching Canvas magazine asked to write a bit on red nose studio and peak into my little world.

the program is called The Art of the Matter. Hosts Sharon Gamble, Matt Socey and Travis DiNicola, joined by an array of fascinating guests, examine the cultural community from the perspective of who, what, when and where, while exploring the broader effects the arts have on our lives.

we talk about the See-Saw installation and a bit about The Look Book.

the program will air and stream on Saturday Dec 8th at 4pm EST
