Scott Ogden and Jonathan Lavoie asked me to be in this skateboard show and were able to help me produce a TOM SANFORD SKATEBOARD DECK. Needless to say, I am thrilled to be involved, not only because i spent a bit of time skateboarding (poorly) as a youth, but also because this allowed me to make my first piece of true art merch. The very cool thing about this is ... CONTINUE TO POST »

I made this concert poster for THE BLACK KEYS performance at the 2011 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival. It was pretty fun as I have never done anything like this before (ie. a band poster, or for that matter any type of quasi*-commercial art). Although the band’s people encouraged me to not be too literal about the project, i did what i tend to do, and make what I ... CONTINUE TO POST »

This will be a very cool group show. It is pretty much a list of my favorite artists, so i am just honored to be in it. Because it is such a f-ing great group of artists, I felt that I better bring my A-game. So,  I am finally showing a piece that I have been sitting on for a couple of years, one of my all time favorites: “Black ... CONTINUE TO POST »

My good friends at Nowhere Limited have recently released limited edition prints of two of my favorite recent paintings. I think that the prints came out really well, and I was so happy with them that I signed all 30 in each edition.
I think that “Gasoline Goddess (Sarah Palin)” (2010) might make the perfect gift for one’s bat-shit crazy, tea bagger uncle, or a more sane friend or relative with ... CONTINUE TO POST »

Last year i received a google alert informing me that my Dimebag Darrell painting was featured on the blog of a periodical called Jailbate Magazine. Admittedly a dubious honor, but I will take what I can get. With that endorsement from the world of hardcore porn, it seems only right and proper that I was curated into a show on porn and related decadence by Allegra LaViola at her ... CONTINUE TO POST »

Alex Glauber has put together a very cool public art piece: a painting show in Bryant Park. A very unusual venue for a painting show, but i think it will be an unusually good show. After a conversation that we had over a beer about the frustrations associated with making art in a pluralist context where everything goes, Alex came up with the excellent idea of making a show in ...

I am in the XMAS show at GALLERY POULSEN. I won’t be able to make it to the opening, which is a great shame because the dynamic and courageous Morten Poulsen throws really incredible opening parties. He is threatening to buy 10 kegs of beer! I am sure that there will be tonnes of Xmas cheer and even more really excellent art.
For my part, Morten will show my newest painting, ... CONTINUE TO POST »

I am going to Bergen, Norway for the opening of a three person show called “Three Amigos” with Eric White & Nicola Verlato and myself. I am pretty excited to spend Thanksgiving with Eric and Nicola as they are not only two solid dudes, but they are both genius painters and artists whom i have looked up to for a while. I plan to spend the holiday weekend giving thanks ... CONTINUE TO POST »

I am in a show upstate at the SUArt Galleries of Syracuse University. Eric Gleason is going to drive a party bus up from NYC for the opening, so I will be there for the opening. I understand that I will be staying at Gleason’s old frat house. I will do my best to recreate Old School, playing Frank the Tank and get some eats at the original Dinosaur BBQ ... CONTINUE TO POST »
