Dinosaurs Tenderly Caressing Robots

Here’s the long anticipated posting of my most recent Dinosaur Fucking Robot illustrations. I’m actually only posting 2 of 3 new pieces I’ve made since I decided to rework a couple small things. I’m sure to post it… soon. Maybe with an additional new illustration to the series! There are tonnes of dinosaurs just begging to be drawn in compromising positions.

Part of the delay on posting these was my waiting to hear if they’ve been accepted to this year’s Seattle Erotic Art Festival. Unfortunately, they have not. This of course is shocking and disappointing news for everyone, especially me. After the initial disappointment, mixed with rage, I’m only left with a sense of bewilderment. Has the show already reached erotic dinosaur saturation? Was the material itself not appropriate to the theme of the festival? Was the intent or quality of the work not of suitable quality? Obviously those last points are ridiculous! These are the finest illustrations of their kind!

But one can hardly expect to be accepted into every show, or sell every piece, and so on; rejection is anything but the exception when it comes to creative pursuits. If anything, I’m more determined than ever to find a fitting venue to exhibit these fine specimens, and some promising leads have appeared.

The SEAF is April 30^th - May 2^nd, I’ll still be attending; it’s bound to be a thrilling show.

CARDED!

So here's a design I had in the Carded! show last week at the Jacana Gallery. The show was amazing! The gallery was packed with people eagerly trading for their favorite cards. The energy of the event was wonderful; everyone was very talkative and complimentary. I was lucky enough to meet and talk with several of the artists and finally put a face to some art I've admired for a while.

Predating Carded! and in the same spirit is Hot One Inch Action, a button trading show that's been happening for some years now. Both shows create a great atmosphere for people to talk with each other and the artists. I haven't been to many other shows where everyone's that approachable. Hopefully both will continue to happen annually for many more years.

Happy New... March...

So here's a little illustration I did to print off on X-mas cards and send out to friends and family. Thing is, I don't think I actually drew this up till December 20-something, and then getting caught up with one thing or another my X-mas turned New Year's cards, are now just general greeting cards with a cozy winter-ish seasonal feel. I've sent out most now, just have 4 left to write and drop in the mail. If you haven't gotten one... it's probably in the mail... if you never get one... well, here it is! Write me, letters are fun!
