….I found this today on my continued scavenger hunt through my archives….

….I’ve been up to my elbows in archived imagery, sorting through things for my upcoming show….here’s something I came across today, shot on film with some weird lens I used to have, no digital manipulation….

….it’s been too hot to take the border collies to the park so we’ve had to find a more refreshing alternative for playtime….

….a few more details from some recent pages….

….we were invited to an epic cook out/pig roast….

….when we arrived the roasting was well underway….

….Xena alerted everyone that the pig was ready to carve….

….the host of the event, Shane….some of you may know him better as Mr. Art Whino, owner of one the greatest art galleries in the world….

….there was plenty of music and merriment….

….three of my favorite people, Lucho, Sylvia, and Luz….

….smooch-fest….

….it also happened to be lil’ Shane’s 3rd birthday….

….I think I made this same face when I got my first bike….

….then it was time to cut the cake….

….where ever there is free cake, you’ll always find my lovely wife….

….a few more new images for your perusal….

….I’m still busy making some new books….these ones are taking longer than usual….time=quality?….more soon….

….I’m currently working like crazy in preparation for a solo show I have coming up at Gallery 77 in Austin TX….the theme of the show will be centered around the adventures I’ve had in and around New Mexico, a theme that I’ve wanted to pursue for quite awhile….it’s exciting to revisit archived images and recontextualize them and see what kind of new paintings and drawings and thoughts they evoke….the above diptych is one of my favorites of all time, it was taken somewhere near the Foster Ranch outside of Roswell….
