News! Actual news! I'm very excited to announce that I'll be performing some staticy jams at SXSW this year as part of the Hometapes Label Showcase. I'll be performing two mini-sets. Even more exciting is that my new record "Bee Removal" should be done just in time for the show. It's been in the works for a few years and I'm really excited to finally have it out.

"Radar Eyes"
Canadian Print duo Seripop and their Lumpen friends in Chicago are hosting a large group show representing the works of experimental printmakers on March 7, 2008. The show, Radar Eyes, contains work sharing a similar aesthetic highlighting the talents of artists and designers making hand drawn, ephemeral work. Many of the prints depict distortions of perception, altered states of awareness and geometric, sometimes hallucinogenic subject matter or compositions. For this show Nadine and I are showing a selection of one of a kind hand made books that incorporate screenprinting in some form or fashion.
