About Me

NEWS!

In two weeks - I have work going to Munich Germany for a huge contemporary urban art exhibit "Kunst im Tresor" curated by Marco Schwalbe and Silke Sudau Schwalbe of Intoxicated Demons Gallery (hosting my solo exhibit in November). Many well known artists exhibiting from many countries worldwide. Here's the info - use your translator or learn German...

KUNST IM TRESOR EXHIBIT IN MUNICH

Die INTOXICATED DEMONS GALLERY präsentiert auf über 500 qm mehr als 80 Arbeiten von über 35 deutschen und internationalen Künstlern. Neben Illustration, Characterdesign, klassischen Maltechniken, Graffiti und Streetart werden ebenso Skulpturen und Toys präsentiert.

=> VERNISSAGE am 8.5.2009 ab 19.00 (May 8th 2009)

Am 9. Mai wird die Ausstellung von 11.00 bis 16.00 Uhr zugänglich sein.

My project "Daniel Johnston at Home LIVE" has been released on iTunes Plus. I directed, filmed, produced and did nearly everything to bring this project to the world. It took nearly 10 years but should be a RARE look into Daniel performing at his home in Waller Texas in 1999.

Both the mp3s and videos were from my 10-year-old footage of the legendary indie artist/musician Daniel Johnston. You can NOW buy the 13-track album direct from iTunes:
