Giant Robot Gallery

New York, New York 10009



Giant Robot is proud to host a tiny exhibition of colossal proportions curated by artists Jordin Isip and Rodger Stevens.


Dime Bag 3 is the ninth in an ongoing series of events by Isip and Stevens, bringing together over 200 artists from New York City and beyond representing an extraordinary variety of disciplines. Painters, illustrators, graphic designers, filmmakers, photographers, product designers, and others have been invited to create artworks specifically designed to be exhibited in 3-inch plastic bags: dime bags. Each artist was sent one of the symbolic baggies and asked to fill it in any way they wished.

This is the painting I will have in it.

"The Roving Pits"

$100

The Eel Life

I just finished these paintings for the "Just Because" show at the C.A.V.E. Gallery.

They are pretty small. You can't tell by the scan so much, but there's a lot of metalics in the portrait. I guess you will have to see them in person to get the full effect!

Workspace/ shit i'm working on

I'm excited to move out of my kitchen and into the gowanus studios next month! Check out thier website. I'm really excited to be a part of thier organization. Plus i think i belong on the gowanus canal.


I'm finally starting to feel caught up on life, and overwhelmed by it at the same time. I still have to get going on the cake toppers for my bff's wedding.....

Check it!

Check out these shoes i just finished.



I photographed them on a pile of bait under one of the marsh bridges near my parents house. I got a couple mosquito bites.

New Painting!

I just finished this painting for a charity postcard project, 24Cents.


The goal of the project, called 24Cents, is to provide a venue for artists and designers to use their talent as a positive social tool, raising awareness about a relevant issue while maintaining a strong sense of personal style and voice. The project will benefit Urban Word NYC.

I've forgotten to mention that the debatable Beasts have a double page spread in Kidrobot's 'I Am Plastic'! (Also, I am not credited, but I did take some of the pictures in that book.) Its pretty awesome. You can pick up a copy at www.Kidrobot.com


...In other news:
As you can see from my last post I was apartmentless and couch surfed for a month, but now I am happily settled in Greenpoint, which I love. I moved in with my friend, Mr. Bankshot! of Bankshot! Records, and I have a huge kitchen, tin ceilings, and a nice bodega grocery where I can get fresh perogis 24 hours a day.

So for the month of October, blame 'settling in' on the lack of updates, November I was just a little lazy, but December is here and I have made a resolution to update this blog at least once a week. I'm doing a big website update with all the new paintings and a lot of inked things that are not up there.

I'm working on a banner for this bloggy blog. Does anyone know of a good blog editor? The look of this blog is pretty boring.

Also I want to make some prints of something. I might just make something new or pick something recent. I'm thinking the rocket fingers piece would make a nice print. Any input is appreciated.

I'm working on some new mini comics!

I'm trying to buckle down and really produce some stuff so check back soon!
