Sorry for the lack of posts lately. In a reverse move in modern times I've been dedicating lots of my free time to painting, making a book of said paintings, and making a new issue of Shark Bait. Print media is a dying format, but I won't let it go. Ever. (I realize the irony of pushing my love of print media via a blog, but this is what people read- the internet) Above is a newer painting and a shot from a few days ago of Wesley Anderson nosegrinding the "white thing".
Died in his sleep at home...... (photo taken at The Conservatory in 2007 right before he got big.)
During the Tulsa contest I shot this crappy photo of Jono's clean feeble-grind to fakie while stealing Joel's flash....
Then I saw his much better photo on the Board Shop site (link to the right) and thought it was funny you could see me creeping on his shot in the background. Oklahomans should check out Joel's company, Endurance, I don't know him well but he seems like a swell guy. (Also a link to the right)
New paintings. Bad cropping job on the top one- the lines are actually somewhat straight for once. Hopefully we'll (Aaron, Kira, and whoever else is down) will have an art show soon-ish.
Shark Bait got reviewed again in the new THRASHER. 
As much as that stokes me out, for some reason being quoted ("send money, stamps, or suicide notes") in the Table of Contents is even cooler to me.....
I got this really inspiring post card in the mail today. It was always cool how the presumably very busy Ian MacKaye took the time to send a "thank you" post card whenever I sent him 'zines, but this one is a little more special to me. When I mailed him a copy of my book I asked him to send some feedback if he didn't mind, and I half-expected it to be negative. It may not be the best sign that people keep complimenting the title that makes fun of myself, but I'll take all the positive reviews I can get. If you aren't sure who Ian MacKaye is for some weird reason click the "dischord" link on the right side of the page.
