Just participated in a custom toy show in San Francisco called ShopWars hosted by 1 A.M. gallery and Delicious Drips. I represented Nelnet and Nebraska with a custom QEE that was painted like a porter house steak and wrapped in the proper packaging.

SpankyStokes.com gave me a great call out on his write up about the show. Thanks for the shout.

Thanks to Delicious Drips for letting me be a part of the show.

A couple of people had asked me if I was going to put together a vinyl toy show after the success of The Freestyle 50, I was kicking around the idea when my friend Peter(Pocketwookie) introduced me to Kevin from Toy2R. Kevin and I got together this week and talked about specifics for the show and it looks like we are going to put together one KICKASS 8 inch QEE show. The show is set for October 2nd at The Public shoe store in Lincoln, NE.

I got to work in illustrator a bit this week, not the most exciting fun but hey at least I was enjoying it.

What other job could you spend all day doing silly stuff like building bridges from popsicle sticks, I am sure all of the accounts, paper pushers, and customer service people at my place of employment(in-house design corporate America) HATES ME.

New vinyl piece.Thanks to Dreamtree Toys.

So a good friend on mine, who is a very talented photographer, had time in her absolutely busy schedule to take some wonderful photos of me and my kids, and a few of my lovely girlfriend and myself. Please follow the attached link to Khara’s blog to view her favorite pics from our shoot.

Thank you again for this Khara.

Some good friends of mine started Sinner magazine in Las Vegas and asked me to help out with an illustration for their kick off issue. Here is the piece I got to do, I had a great time working on this and hope to be a part of their on going project.

These postcards went with the Dress Yourself Campaign as mailers to go to the schools guidence councilors to pick up studentedge for their school.

Here is some stuff I did for work, I have neglected to post this stuff for whatever reason. These posters were part of a campaign within high schools to push students to use studentedge.com. Each posters talks towards a feature of the site (career path, test prep, financial aid, and school matching). Trevor Meyer was my copy writer on this project.

The Freestyle 50 could not have been better. Had a great time I got to talk to tons of fantastic people and meet some of the artists involved that I didn’t know. I will deffinitely be doing this next year. Thank you to everyone involved for your hard work and dedication. And for everyone that attended thank you for such a positive event and feedback.

Here are the three boards I did for the show. The two blue ones are still for sale.
