I've been messing around with gouache painting recently. Heres a new one: "Time heals all wounds" Gouache on paper 20"x 30"
I came across this photo of myself on the 101.9 rxp website. Its from the Steel Train show a couple months ago, and its probably the most epic photo of me ever ha http://www.1019rxp.com/photopages/Photos.aspx?AlbumID=106605
As with any artist I'm constantly trying to find new forms of inspiration. I recently discovered the lovely text-based, wall art of Ripo. Reminds me of Stephen Powers. check out his stuff at http://www.ripovisuals.com/index.html
There was a crazy thunder storm up here a few weeks ago. Its was quite a challenge snapping this photo at just the right moment.I probably took 200 photos just to get this kinda good one ha.
Heres a poster I did in September for a show at the purchase stood. 2 color screenprint, editions of 35.
I never got a chance to blog about my tattoo. Adam over at Jersey City Tattoo co. did an amazing job. Being an artist myself, I had high expectations and he did everything I wanted and more. Its a real cool place, with really great artists. Its even owned by Jake Casualty from the punk band the Casualties!

So I was asked to design and print a poster for CMJ. Yeah CMJ. I'm talking about the New York City wide music marathon festival. Some of the artists playing this year are: Phoenix, GZA, Surfer Blood, Ghostface Killah, Senses Fail,and Bayside, just to name a few. And I mean a few, hundreds of bands are playing. I was seriously jumping up and down when I got the email. Heres an idea of what its going to look like..
What a crazy weekend. I threw a party Friday night, which was off the wall...
There was a mosh pit in my living room!
A few weeks I got my first tattoo. Sorry mom, sorry dad.
photos by the lovely KellyAnn Petry. http://www.kellyannpetry.blogspot.com/ Seriously, the most fun show we've ever played. I want to thank all those who came out, I love you all. Definitely not the last Wyldlife party this semester...
But the weekend was far from over...
Saturday night we played the 4th street festival in Jersey City, which was an abosolute blast.
One guy even wrote a nice review for us on his blog: http://rockertycoon.wordpress.com/2010/10/03/wyldlife-at-4th-street-fest/ he took this video as well:
There is no better feeling for me than playing a good show. Nothing else compares. And its an even cooler feeling when other people appreciate what you do, and enjoy it just as much. Thanks everyone for making this such an amazing weekend!
