Finally got around to uploading, processing and Flickring my Artwalk at Utilikilts Show pics.

There’s also a great set here, including the shot above, by Chris Menges, a photographer friend of Kyle and Blue.

And a damn cool pic of the Elven Bikers from Hell here, by our DJ and photographer, Michael Holden.

Woot!

Stunning tribal body painting

October 4th, 2010

As a bodypainter, with all my shinyass metallic acyrlics-this humbles me.

Such spirit and beauty.

Sleep, please?

September 24th, 2010

Last night I surreptitiously stole a Trollboat and was not-so-surreptitiously pursued across a lake by it’s jet ski empowered goblin minions, harvested megatomatoes(the size of those ridiculously ginormous pumpkins that win the prizes at fairs) and hitched a ride with Esther and Jerry Hicks, who were very sweet despite my falling asleep constantly and apparent incompetence in locating my sleeping bag.

Tonight, I want to sleep the sleep of the just(ly relaxed).

I’ve earned it!

Artwalk show!

September 3rd, 2010

Owl painting, finished!

August 26th, 2010

The Master’s calligraphy had risen into the night, a Great Horned Owl(!) and flown majestically off to warn the Kingdom of the invasion. Sheldrake couldn’t help but be disappointed when; after all his incantations and careful study; his strokes curled, rose on stubby, awkward wings and flapped back towards the barn.
