This is a sneak preview of artwork I just finished. It's the cover for the book The Protector by NL Gassert from Seventh Window Publications. My friends Chandler and David served as the inspiration.

This Saturday I hung out with Rick Castro and friends at the first ever Gay Erotic Zine & Comix Convention at Antebellum Gallery. Chatted with Kim Kinakin and Sean Platter. Trevor Wayne dropped by. Great fun!

John Pham Art Opening at Secret Headquarters

This past weekend I went to the John Pham opening at Secret Headquarters. I hadn't met John before, but it turned out I knew some friends of his who were there. I got a copy of John's new book "Sublife," soon to be released by Fantagraphics. Love it! Above is a short clip of a wild installation piece John did and a photograph of me with the man himself.

Lots of people showed up and the event was a big success. Here's a picture of the crowd of Pham-fans and two pieces of his work.

SHQ owners David and David always through a fantastic shin-dig. Here I am having some tequila with one of the Davids. And there's my pal Daniel with the other David, and actor McCaleb Burnett.
