Game Change: Videogames as Art Medium and Inspiration

I’m very pleased to announce the opening tonight of Game Change: Videogames as Art Medium and inspiration, part of the Pulse Festival at the Telfair Museum in Savannah, GA. My silkscreened poster series, There’s No One There, are a featured part of the exhibition.  This is the first time they will be shown in public, and are a kind of preview to the show they’ll have in New York in May.

If you’re in the Savannah area, please go check it out!

Tower of Memory

This is just a quick post to excitedly show off some very preliminary work I’m doing with my old Crazy Boat collaborator, Gabe Smedresman, on our new game, Tower of Memory. I’m not going to say too much about it, for fear of ruining the surprise, but… damn.

It is going to *awesome*.

There’s No One There News

I’m very pleased to announce two upcoming venues for my poster series There’s No One There.

In the month of April, the five posters have been invited to be a part of Telfair Museums’s annual Pulse Arts + Tecnhology  Festival, in Savannah, GA. It’s the first time my work has been associated with a museum, and it’s very exciting.

Then, in May, the posters come back up to NYC to be featured in a show at Studio-X, co-hosted with Ninth Letter, for the release of their new issue, of which the posters will also be a part of. It should be an amazing show and a great time. Thanks to both Studio X’s Geoff Manaugh and Nicola Twilley, and editor Scott Geiger, for all the support.

Stay tuned for additional details for both events. Excitement, she wrote!

Life Under Occupation

Above is a quick comic I did for N+1′s #ows gazette, Occupy! It’s edited by my friend Astra, and she asked me to do a comic, about pretty much anything. Life here in New York as the Occupy madness gets bigger and badder is surreal; suddenly, idealistic rhetoric is plastered on telephones and on the front of tabloids. It’s a heady time, and I tried to reflect that.

You can see a bigger one here.

Just a quick note to inform that the piece I made (above) for David Huyck’s fantastic project, Cloudy Collection, will be debuting at a Cloudy Co. show at the Pink Hobo Gallery in Minneapolis. The reception is at the gallery (507 E. Hennepin, for those in the area) on November 4th starting at 7pm. The event also kicks off MIX (http://mplsindiexpo.com/ ).

Go stand near my piece and talk about what a genius I am. Go!
