Ch-ch-ch-check it out! I've been doing some work for Alley Repertory Theater over the past couple months, and this is one of their upcoming plays. Their events are always top-notch and they have a great collection of talent. I wouldn't miss this one..

Opa drink menus!

   

The stones that I used along the borders are the same ones that cover the interior walls and ceilings of the bar. I'm really happy with how these turned out! 

Magazine spreads featuring Boise's most infamous drag queen, Minerva Jayne. The photography in the first two spreads are mine as well. 

Don't try to read the text.. it won't make any sense.

I went to 'Art in the Park' and BAM today.

The Catherine Chalmers cockroach exhibit was definitely the highlight of my Saturday. I loved the 'Execution Room' where she photographed cockroaches being tortured to death through electrocution, burning, and exposure to poisonous gas. 

Does that make me an awful person? 

At first I thought it just appealed to the curious seven year old in me that used to put jars of ants in the freezer and tear the legs off of spiders, but how far off is that from kids that graduate to torturing mammals? Where should the respect for life begin/end? 

I doubt the exhibit was meant to be profound, but it actually made me look at insects differently.

Tonight - the Very Most.

I have chatted these guys up and fell in love with their stuff via Myspace. They recently had their CD release party, but I didn't get to stay long enough to actually see them! Poo. So tonight- I'm going to actually see them. They play all the time in the greater Boise area, but my schedule hasn't worked out until now. I guess I can't really say that they're a 'must see' until I see them, but I bet they are... so check them out. 

My friend Julia did their album art- she does all sorts of fantastisch illustrations in Boise, and I love her work to bits. Girl just needs to get herself a respectable website.

Beginnings

I'm working on a poster for my friend Minerva Jayne who does Drag-Bingo at the Balcony weekly. 

On a scale from one to raunchy- I'd give it a 6.

Jesus with down syndrome

(Bar talk)
Me: so Jesus with down syndrome huh?
Jason: yeah, I was having a conversation with a friend who thought that people with mental disabilities can't comprehend God, and I totally disagree.
Me: sure sure sure.
Jason: So I drew Jesus with down syndrome. I mean Jesus has been portrayed as black, white, asian, latino, and everything inbetween right?
Me: has he?
Jason: well anyway, I think I proved my point.

Some of my own

This is a poster that I made for Typography last semester by altering Skia. We were supposed to be able to put our typefaces in Type Tool so that we could actually use it, but unfortunately this (display-only) typeface was a bit problematic. It made for a fun poster, but that's about the extent of it.

The reluctant candidate

I went to a Barack Obama event recently where I was fortunate enough to meet a candidate for Idaho's second Congressional District- Debbie Holmes.

Debbie approached us post speech:

"Was that speech okay? You know the wind was blowing.. it was hard to read.. the megaphone was awkward."

"Yeah, it was great."

"I mean- I knew my speech."

"..."

"You know, the wind was blowing. It was just hard to read"

"Yeah you did fine"

"Oh, I'm Debbie Holmes by the way. Here take one of my flyers..."

"Yeah of course."

"Be sure to check out my crappy website."

"..."

"God, it's windy."

Heart - of - gold.

Vote for Debbie.
