Gentlemen, Halt Your Engines
I type this from a couch in Shien’s living room. The flight went well, the cab ride was appropriately terrifying and the welcome was warm. The aforementioned piece of furniture seems to take issue with basic laws of physics and is trying to throw me across the room with its deadly wobble. A pallid German is feeding me vodka, because almost everyone in the place is asleep besides me. It’s not working. On Sunday I’ll be walking for AzAc at …
Nectar Coma
a.k.a “Let me tell you a secret about honey”. Ink, digital. This is a crop, a fragment, a secret peek at a new piece I’ve torn from my brain-womb for a huge group show at the Hive gallery, titled “BeeRotica”. What you see is a little honey-glazed darling, caught up in the arduous task of auto-erotic fellatio. I’m excited about the show for several reasons: it’s been a while since I’ve shown at the Hive, I love the exhibit’s theme …
Stratosphere Messenger
My very first T-shirt, a collaboration with Plastik Wrap, is now available on Etsy. This jet-packed space vixen is ready for takeoff.

Printed on durable cotton/elastane blend in opalescent blue, The Messenger shimmers violet, pink and silver. I originally conceived her as the poster girl for Coilhouse magazine and now she’s evolved into a wearable art collaboration …

But here’s me and Herr Piggentein [that’s Jhonen Mc Vee to you], to hold you over. In …

Everybody! Do the Jet-Set Ramble.
I have returned from the North with tales, photos and gifts. Presently barricaded in several layers of pillows with dog, Boards of Canada on the iTunes, amusingly enough. Get ready for an RSS bomb, reader! My last visit to Toronto was some years ago and was mostly devoted to hanging with Herr Piggensteen during various professional obligations and withstanding bouts of work-induced dementia. I didn’t get to spend much time with the city, but all that is changed with this …
