Is it MAYDAY already ?

This year has started off so wonderfully. Due to insane reasons beyond my comprehension, I found myself once again without a job after years of loyal employment. A crummy economy made for the worst open studio sale i have ever bother to hostess prior to the holidays. My little galleries are thankfully the only chump change i got this year but it was all. And don't get me wrong, it's amazing to pay bills with art. but no joke, i needed a j-0-b not to go away without warning or compensation. I am beyond behind on my bills and lucky the last few weeks i have found three part time jobs to help this immediate problem, somewhat. Today i woke up to another half a grand problem to fix first, shitty smashed window in my unlocked car adding up to crappy times. I lost all opportunity to work at ALL JOBS today & tomorrow and thursday until i get my car fixed. I can't stay here with an open car in downtown cle, so away i go until we find a new order of glass for the back. i had my dirty bathtowels and all linens stolen + my recycling. Due to enormous bitching on social media, many people have offered to help and i have created the donation button on the side. if you shoot me a buck or two, i will offer up any leftover art i have here as i am swimming in the unsold of the holidays & the few fleas i sold nothing at. I have stuff i need to get rid of, art, flowers, collages, furniture, frames, odd stuff, bones, skulls, cool things, maps & legends. i will open up when i return for suburbia & pay you back for playing it forward. $1, $ 5 0r $ 10 would really help out and i will give you ART in exchange for your bucks for sucks like me . I will be holding opening studio hours this saturday 12- 4, sunday 12 - 4 ( day ) & monday 6 - 9  ( night ) if you just wanna drop by and check out the clearance clarence. soda donations count as well. mealworms. you know. thank you to all the people bugging me to help, i am not looking for large amounts

The donation button is on the upper right, pls txt or email me if you just want to send it to 
myfirstnameDlastnameatpaypal that will shirley work to help the dj. just one wing !

New Ohio Works for 2014

2014 has rang in with sub zero temps here in No-Hio. This has rendered me at home, very little job left to go to and staring at the weather forecast in hopes or disbelief. I was throwing out leftover wood ( or contemplating burning it to stay warm ) and thought they might look better with some stain & stencil of the heart of it all. Ohio is actually a fun state shape to work with, looks good in squares and has edgy angles perched on the top of the country.

all weather reports have included colors not normally seen unless you had a computer and internet in 1977, which you didn't. temperature is often classified in colors for those who can't read or see so good. Cold fronts here are completely fabricated from decorative thrifted paint from home depo's discount table of "colors not normally used outside 1983" for walls

Ohio would love to break up at I - 76. But this piece is a recurring theme i often have grass greener on the other side of my state of stain filled industry and former scars of success
all these works are on leftover sanded pallet wood, stained and stencil for under 10

erieffusion retro radioshow : 1 /5 / 2014 - what do i get ?

sunday evenings i host the erie effusion eighties retro radio show on WRUW 91.1 FM. I have been a volunteer dj since 2006. I usually only play the vinyl preserved in one of the largest surviving vinyl collections on a college campus in the country. The choices of mine are largely untouched, not played often and probably abandoned quickly for the easier format of compact discs just a few years later. when i started as a dj at WKSR in 1990, our vinyl collection would fit in a tiny corner of my current college owned vault. But discs sounded better, less errors ( 45 ? 78 ? oops ! ) and were easier to handle. Or so we were told at the time. I found they often skipped and were easily damaged, but vinyl doesn't do well in my dirty artsy hands either. i will play discs or the digital downloads, but i prefer the odd offerings b sides, compilations, soundtracks and anything on vinyl that was a different version. or, in the case of our cocteau twins collection, like complete fuzz underwater. so you can have more content, here is the weekly playlist for erieffusion with mild chatter about wot really goes thru my head on the wall every week...Click here to listen or download HERE

September 7, 2013 - October 9, 2013

My new works are flowers created from found or recycled items often outdated or replaced

items. The frames were generously donated by one of my most loyal old friends the awesome CLEVELAND CHICK  from a local chain restaurant, collaged over and recreated into a new piece. The new works are heavily influenced by steampunk, industrial surroundings and the works of Jay DeFeo. Two flowers have entered two major collections in Cleveland Ohio just this year, The Progressive Collection and another I will soon announce once the deal is inked. Inking going on right now so update soon. To blend recycling and creativity is my ultimate goal when assembling a body of work. This show features a focus on bionic botanicals, cyborgian strains in an altered post industrial wasteland.

The gallery where the works will be featured is located in the Akron area of Ohio. Amy Mothersbaugh has founded the gallery to create a space to showcase her work and of the local and international flavor of the creative energy she has created. The gallery hosts studio space, exhibition space, a retail area for local art and several exhibition walls in a small cool space by the falls of the cuyahoga. An opening drawing group is hosted each Wednesday and the parking is plentiful and free in the mall area next to the falls. Hope to see you there !

 The website is HERE

 As a dj at WRUW, our all day concert will also be in full effect and i will be there before and after my opening to hang with the tribe who mans your college radio station. That event and the bands playing ( did i mention it's free ?!? ) is HERE.  I hope to see you that day, a full sizes day of  music and art will be one of the best days of 2013 for me for fun and fellowship.
