Southwestern Voodoo

Been a while

southwesternvoodoo — Wed, 28 May 2008 16:44:27 +0000

I haven’t updated in a long time. I’ve been distracted with other things – I started a business, ASAP Delivery and Transportation, and my wife and I now have a three month old baby. I will try to post updates periodically. I’m opening an etsy store to sell some of my smaller paintings. There’s nothing there yet but it will be here: http://southwesternvoodoo.etsy.com

My wife has a really good digital camera, so if we can get good enough pictures I might also have some prints of my bigger paintings made.

Happy New Year! I have some shows coming up in 2007:

My art will be showing through the end of January at Cafe Roma, which is on the corner of Ashby and College in Berkeley.

Updates

I finally joined Myspace. www.myspace.com/southwesternvoodoo is where you can see my profile, be my friend, and leave me comments. I posted a couple pictures and a video made by Ira Lesser at the Hotel des Arts show I was in back in July.

This Saturday night is Visual Aid’s Big Deal fundraiser. I donated a piece of art, and I’ll be there looking at the other 600+ pieces of art.

Saturday afternoon, my wife is showing at the Maven Fair in Berkeley – it starts at noon at 1700 Dwight Way.

We will be doing open studios on Saturday and Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend – 2703 7th Street in Berkeley. If the weather is nice, I might even bring some of my art outside. Cafe Clem is open on Saturdays, so there’s good food (they are owned by the same people who own La Note) in addition to all the art and fine crafts in our studio building.

Here’s a new painting I’m working on. It’s a black and white version of “Man with Ghosts”. (The color version is hanging in room 205 at Hotel des Arts in SF.)

Beautiful Wives Club – clarification

southwesternvoodoo — Sat, 23 Sep 2006 22:15:44 +0000

People are starting to call me about the beautiful wives club. One guy seemed a little bit confused about the purpose of the club.

“Tell me about the club. What is it about?”

“Well, it’s a support group, for men who are married to very attractive women, to talk about the issues they have to deal with.”

“So, it’s not a wife swapping club?”

“No.”

“Is there any sexual activity?”

“No.”

“Okay, thankyou, bye-bye.”

The Beautiful Wives Club

I just started a support group for men, called the beautiful wives club. The club is for men who are married to very beautiful women. (My wife thinks I’m crazy.)

I also re-started my Bukowski-poem-of-the-month club after taking a few years off. About once a month, I pick a poem by Charles Bukowski for members to read.

Both clubs are open for membership!

Visual Aid’s “Big Deal”

southwesternvoodoo — Wed, 13 Sep 2006 21:57:51 +0000

One of my paintings will be for sale at Visual Aid’s “Big Deal” event on November 11. Visual Aid raises funds to help artists with life threatening illnesses, and a lot of famous and emerging artists have donated pieces of art to help out. At the Big Deal event, all pieces of donated art will sell for $150, which is pretty inexpensive for original art.

Burning Man

southwesternvoodoo — Sat, 09 Sep 2006 16:49:35 +0000

After an eight year hiatus, I’ve decided to return to burning man next year. No longer the rave driver, Cool Breeze, this year I intend to create an art/social experiment which, if successful, would be one of the greatest art events the world has ever seen. I don’t know if I can pull off what I have planned, but if I do, it would be incredible.
