Don't miss this show!

A most amazing night of music and painting! I cannot encourage you enough to go experience one of their shows. The opening act Lynx made this double bill a perfect mix of music from chill to exotica. The place was packed and the vibe was in high spirits. I had a blast painting along side Kris D and David Hale. Looking forward to more New Earth adventures in the near future.

I will be live painting along with Kris D, David Hale and Keegan Keel at the Beats Antique Show at New Earth Music Hall on Saturday night in Athens.  This is a show for all people who want to dance. Fans of electronic music and organic instruments will be blown away. Beautiful and seductive lead lady Zoe Jakes will steal your heart and the show too. From Burning Man to Bonnaroo, they are the real deal. Do not, I repeat, do not miss this one. Lynx and Abandon the Earth Mission open.




Beats Antique are an experimental world fusion and electronic music group, formed in San Francisco, California in 2007 when Zoe Jakes approached her manager, Miles Copeland (brother of drummer Stewart Copeland of The Police) about creating an album. Copeland green lit the project, and their debut album Tribal Derivations was conceived on Copeland’s CIA record label. Tribal Derivations was a concept album, created to complement the dance styles of producer/arranger Zoe Jakes, whose belly dancing is described as an innovative blend of traditional belly dance with tango, break dance, and Indian dance. The group’s second album, Collide, reached the top 10 of most downloaded artists under the Middle East and World Dance and the top 20 most downloaded electronic albums on Amazon. For their third album, Contraption Vol. 1, Beats Antique brings in collaborators such as hammered dulcimer player Jamie Janover, and beat boxer and hip hop vocalist LYNX. The group’s members, David Satori, Tommy Cappel, and Zoe Jakes use their varied experiences with world music genres to draw inspiration for their music with Beats Antique.

Another Widespread Panic poster hit the presses last month. It's always a joy working with these guys. I went with an old school beer label theme printed on French Black Licorice paper and those signature thick glossy inks. Very nice piece to frame and hang in a bar area.

My latest poster for the Yarmony Grass festival. It features Chief Yarmony in a visionary themed print. It's screenprinted on French Licorice paper using thick glossy inks.

Sometimes life is so crazy you unintentionally allow dear, old  friends that have passed on to the next plane of existence to linger in the furtherest reaches of your mind until you need them around you, then it all comes flooding back. Sad, but comforting all the same. I recently had an experience that reintroduced  two of my dearest friends back into my consciousness. The memories remained and so do the smiles from those times. The long talks, the knowing glances and those moments when everything seemed right. I got to feel again.

Since my first Burning Man experience in 2006, I have been infatuated with Global Fusion music. I particularly love the downtempo style. Me, being the old school rocker, finding myself drawn to world beats was a bit surprising. Now I find myself listening to this style of music about 90% of the time I'm in the studio. It takes me away. Radio music has worn me quite thin. Change is good.

A German band that I really love. Kind of a cross between lounge, old house disco and global fusion. I find myself playing their album "Days of Twang" often while drawing or painting.
