My new art show at Souped Up Cafe in Greenlake

This space is very nice; stop by after your next walk around Greenlake. Below are some photos of the show.

Let's Dance

Here's a work in progress for a gift certificate design I'm working on for Ballard's very own Bop Street Records. There's great free music there on Fridays and Saturdays.

Jose and Braque hate fleas, and so do I

I just had to give my kitties baths to get fleas off them-the topical squeeze on crap seems to be taking forever. They are now wet, cold, and confused. Not a good start to Labor Day. Later, I'll be working, go figure.

I love crayons

September band lineup at Bop Street Records Ballard

This is a poster I created and will hopefully soon be plastered all over the city of Seattle.

Yosemite Sunset

I recently got back from Yosemite National Park. Here's a view of the sunset on the first night out during my backwoods camping trip.

Album cover art found at Bop Street Records

Credit is due to Tom Dougherty, who pulled out this album cover from the Bop Street children's section. I found no record inside, so I was given the beautiful cover for free. The album is entitled A Child's Introduction to Jazz featuring Bob Keeshan (Captain Kangaroo) and the Honeydreamers. I cannot find an artist credit on the cover. Any ideas?

My show at the Chai House is up

The opening will be part of Ballard's second Saturday artwalk. Please come. This is one of the only places that will have booze as wine has been banned from the regular artwalk rotation unless it is held at a bar/restaurant.

Here is a sketch of my friend Richard Penner that I was coloring and forgot about for a while. Enjoy its unfinishedness, and I hope to see you at Mr. Spot's Chai House for Ballard artwalk next Saturday.

Chai House show

I will be hanging art within the next day or two at Mr. Spots Chai House in lovely Ballard. Artwalk is every second Saturday, so come have a look then.

Have you seen this?? I wouldn't plug any cartoon I didn't love

In the words of David Cross: Totally cool, totally cool, totally cool.

Summertime is Golden Gardens Time

Paige and I enjoying the beautiful Golden Gardens.

Happy Hump Day

This Wednesday night!! Animal Benefit Closing Party at Cafe Racer

Again, all proceeds go to Animal Talk shelter. Prices will come down (at least on my work) for the final night! This beautiful drawing can be yours.

In mural news: Almost every panel has been stolen, and KOMO 4 covered it on the evening news

See the news clip here: http://www.komonews.com/news/23965359.html

Good work teaming up with the Problem Solvers, Bob.

Happy 4th of July!

Here's a random sketch book image of Laura, who had whooping cough.

Get Back Cretins

Jim Woodring has spoken with the city and they will now post these signs that he made around the mural. I guess they will also replace Bob Rini's panel, shown below.

This just in! The notice couldn't go up fast enough. Jim has just received this message from Barbara Luecke at Sound Transit:
"I just received a call from a young reporter from the Capitol Hill Times who would like to do a story about the artist working on Broadway. You previously said you would prefer to be the artists of mystery. Do you still feel that way?
We learned this morning that parts of two more murals were taken early afternoon yesterday. Howdy Doody and seated animals."

They were taken midday? Surely someone out there is a witness.
