A great new gallery space is opening up in Winona, MN! Come out for the big grand opening.

Immediately after the party you can head down the street and catch me playing with Bird Sounds at Ed’s No Name Bar.

This classic album from my dearest friends The Brokedowns has been rereleased on vinyl.
Brought to you by Cassette Deck Media Conglomerate and Traffic Street Records.

If you don’t know how to rock, you could still buy it for the beautiful artwork.

I found a couple places where it can be ordered. Limited quantity!

Traffic Street Records

Recess Records

Come see my latest project and many more beautiful projects at the all student symposium.

It’s at the corner of 3rd and Franklin.

For out-of-town-ers, I think this bar is well worth a day trip.
Only the finest beers on tap, amazing mixed drinks, amazing service, and on many nights there’s eclectic live entertainment. A very pure atmosphere.

I think my figure drawings will be up until March 20th.

Not coincidentally, Bird Sounds will perform on the night of March 20th at Ed’s No Name Bar.

Also, they’re all lowball priced at 75 bucks.
This is your chance to get a high quality drawing plus a frame for just the cost of a high quality drawing.

Original entry will be kept below… so that I learn my lesson.

terrible news!

i was working on a totally different website.
i gave the new MYSQL database the same name as the this one.
i thought this would make things easier for me…since i’m used to the name
and i thought since it was under a new domain name it wouldn’t be a conflict

this was a terribly stupid thing to do

my old database with over 1,400 unique entries was replaced by the new one with the 1 “hello world” entry
and i realized it seconds later

so that’s why my database is gone

i only have a few entries back

i still have all my pictures
and their correlating dates of posting
but that’s it

one by one i get to re-add them

the good news is
in frustration of trying to find my backed up files
i made myself late for school
then i drove a little fast
and got pulled over

well
i got a few tickets

one for speeding
one for expired tabs (which im just waiting for them to show up in the mail…though i was way late in ordering them)
one for no proof of insurance (i AM insured so i just have to mail that in and this one goes away)

this is good news because… i don’t have to be as mad at myself. i can be mad at the LAW instead.

FML.

I’ll be posting the same stuff that I post here. Deep down, I really hate these useful promotional tools.

PROS:
Purchasing/determining the availability of artwork is simple now.
The awesome RANDOM button!
You can SEARCH the site down at the bottom.
You can find related items by clicking on Tags.
Everything is prettier.

CONS:
All comments from the previous website have been lost in the move.
Still have a few hundred old posts to transfer.
