We Have Always Been Post Art

This was a commission that took me in a new abstract cyberpunk direction.  It became laborious and confused but please encourage me to do more like it.

Velvet Paintings

I’ve decided to venture into the glowing world of 20th century kitsch and do some velvet paintings, particularly of appropriate internet memes.  The first was a request to convert an anonymous artist’s drawing, and I’m already offering prints.  The others were intuitive choices.  Now I need to do more – looking for more obscure loci of sentimentality, especially that can be given Elvis or Clown treatments.

I made a funny velvet painting for an obscure weird internet fandom, so that it would actually exist.
Fluffy ponies! Playing poker! Like dogs but stupider and they can talk!
You would be purchasing a color inkjet print done on my printer at home on glossy photo paper, packaged in a protector and mailed flat.
If you did the original drawing I want to give you some money/credit/whatever you want so contact me.

Price: $20.00

Do you have a speedy non-electronic wall-hangable reference as to what holidays are on what days and what day of the week is what day of the month for next year?  With digital sketches drawn from live nude models into satellite space images?  Would you or someone you know like one?  Then buy several from me immediately!  I ship within two days, giving you a maximum time from payment to delivery of one week.  And they are on sale.

Best of 2012 music

Hello! So you may know me as a systematic consumer of popular music and its many semi-popular variants.  And every year I put together a playlist of the 50 or 60 tracks, released that year, that I like, and I share it with whoever will listen.   It comes in many forms, so you can choose how to listen and sample.  I’m talking track by track on my tumblr, but here I’ll just list title and artist.

You can download or view every song in a 513MB directory by right clicking here, but that’s hard on the server, so a new thing I’m trying is this torrent file, which you should try first because you can probably pick and choose tracks with it.  Tell me if you have trouble with that. Warning: I updated and added 3 tracks since this was originally posted, so you may want to update that.

Here’s a Spotify playlist link, I think?

Secondly, three long, slightly edited 8tracks playlists:

Self Portrait / Blatant Commercialism

Self Portrait 2012

Oil on canvas, 24x29in.

I finished this year’s Self Portrait. It’s meant to be somewhat “fast” as a painting, but since I’ve been out of practice this year, I got a little fussy anyway. Drag, as you can see. But looking downright dysphoric in it.

In more important news, my store is now open for business. I’ve listed links to catalogs, a calendar for next year, commissioned Teleportraits, and limited edition, high quality prints. Based on demand, I hope to add some drawings and other commissioned work options. At the moment, I’m still trying to get Google Checkout to work with shipping, but I wanted to have some shipping time before the holidays.  Contact me with any suggestions you have or bugs you encounter.

I’ve added some of the writing, mostly undergraduate academic, I had archived on the old site. I’ve also gotten the old site archive working. Above is some art I’ve been starting for too long.
