I thought you might like some science, Dear Readers. I did a little painting experiement for you to show the relationship between cheap Chardonnay and my subject matter for artistic purposes.

Here is what happens when I drink. In painting order:

Glass #1. Sad, hipster mermaid. Oh look at this sad watercolory mermaid. She has a nipple. Lol!

now with 90% more emo!

Glass # 2. Jellyfish pun! Must… think… of… jellyfish… pun… WAIT! Cute faces are better!

Aw! He's winking at me!

Glass #3. I WISH I WERE A PIRATE WAAAH. Waaaaaah! Give me ten good reasons to be a pirate and I will give you ten more and it still won’t make me a pirate!

Octopi row the pirate's ship because she is a pirate! A PIRATE YOU GUYS! And yes, I call that a ship. Shut up. Obviously I'm not a pirate. Jerk.

I am truly a sad drunk. Maybe I’ll feel better after I eat 3 pints of ice cream. T^T

By the way! Don’t forget to check out my art at Gamma Ray Games! I don’t think I mentioned it before, but I have some art up in Seattle!

Lots of it has sold already, so go buy the rest or I’ll have to eat 3 more pints of ice cream!

AND IT WAS FANTASTIC!

beluga looks so happy!

Thank you to all the loving fans and friends and gorgonians who made it out! We enjoyed food, we enjoyed wine, and we enjoyed art. And then I slept for 14 hours.

I also learned about my origin story! Apparently, like a pearl from a clam, I emerged through the irritations I caused my mother. Without irritation, it seems, there can be no art.

look mom! it’s me!

If_you’re in Seattle, don’t forget to check me the fuck out! Gamma Ray Games, through the month of March, 2012. The apocalypse is here. And it’s wet and salty, in all the best ways.

Well catfish and krill, the time has come. My show begins today.

Here are the essential details:

Blitz Capitol Hill Arts Walk

March 8th – April 12th

Gamma Ray Games (directions here)

Gamma Ray is closed on Mondays, but is open Tuesday (12PM-8PM), Wednesday-Saturday (12PM-11PM), and Sunday (12PM-6PM).

this is what the store looks like!

If you’d like to come by and visit, I will be on site tonight from around 9:00 PM until some time later than that. I’ll sign stuff for you. Maybe even draw you a sketch. It’ll be great!

Oh, and bring your pocketbooks. I’ve got original pieces for sale, some of which you’ve never seen before. Perhaps I’ll tantalize you with a few tidbits, to whet your appetite?

PERHAPS NOT!

“But I don’t live in Seattle!” I hear some among you cry. “And I’m a slack-jawed anglerfish with a clueless disposition!” Fear not, gentle bubbler. I’ll be posting photos of the art and from the event. You’ll almost feel like you’re really there… but then you’ll remember you’re not. How sad.
