Initiating the MCMVECTORS Project!

2011-10-26T14:16:00.006-05:00

Beginning Nov. 1st 2011, I will continue to post a vector-image per day with the goal of completing 1900 vector illustrations.

A little history:
The project began as an attempt to live up to the brand name MCMVectors. MCM, translating to 1900 in Roman numerals, incited an inherent devotion to the literal translation of the brand "1900Vectors". The project was initiated on March 16, 2009 and continued through Dec. 26, 2010, with 340 entries total. The project was put on hold in order to focus on academic finalization. The idea is to dedicate a new image per day posted on the blog, irregardless of subject matter or theme.

I hope the project will continue to benefit those loyal viewers and I encourage you to make images for yourself on a daily basis. Making images can be beneficial for making a healthy, unified world culture. Thanks for reading and be sure to check in Nov. 1st for the first of many vectors to come!

My show is this Saturday!

This is my first attempt at making an installation-based piece. I'm excited. Building a new layer of research onto my previous work, this piece also deals with actual, physical space.

Return to the Alamo City

2011-09-07T15:53:00.013-05:00

Well, I'm back home in San Antonio. I'm still trying to make sense of just what exactly happened this summer. It still feels fresh in my mind like I've woken up from some sort of utopian dream. Being back in an urban atmosphere feels incredibly REAL. I hadn't realized how much of the city-life affects me on a day to day basis, thus generating all kinds of different ideas. The idea of "strangers" and "normies" walking around me is something that took a while to get used to. I think I'm there... almost. I've fallen in love with San Antonio all over again. I'm seeing it as an outsider for the first time and seeing how much influence the Hispanic population has over this city. It's amazing that so much Latino culture is prevalent in the everyday functioning of this city. This is something special that is easy to take for granted. You can have spicy Tacos for every meal if you wanted to! This is not a luxury that other cities have (Yes, Tex-Mex tacos are a luxurious meal, you have no idea). All summer I craved mexican food. It is really good to be home. I've compiled a random assortment of pictures from the last days of the residency at Skowhegan. Here they are for your enjoyment.

It might not have been a big deal for the New Yorkers, but after living in the woods for so long, this sight frightened me...

But as I stated earlier, it is really good to be back in an urban environment. Not this urban though, one week in New York was fun enough. I'll keep you updated on my current project on the next post.

Judy Pfaff Alex Katz Beer Brewing Costume Party!

2011-07-26T10:10:00.011-05:00

Last week was fun. I had my meeting with Judy Pfaff in my studio. She is a really great teacher. She is brutally honest and engaged on a completely emotional level. So helpful, she agreed to meet up with me a day later to see my progress. Alex Katz, who was a participant in 1949, gave a talk with the curator at the Colby Art Museum in Waterville last week. This museum has a HUGE collection of Alex Katz paintings. Vincent Katz and his entire entourage attended. They seemed to live within their own world, the Katz family. Like a circus wherever they went. They definitely stood out from the natural landscape. He was full of intellectual nuggets from his 84 year old mind. The next night was a costume party. Leave it to a bunch of artists to make the most inventive costumes out of free materials. Also, beer brewing took place the other day, a valuable life lesson. Anyway, it's been a lot of work up to this point and things are starting to wrap up. I'll be sure to upload pictures of some work real soon. Stay tuned.

Fresco Barn Reception

2011-07-20T23:33:00.005-05:00

Last night was the reception for the artwork in the Fresco Barn. Look at all of the new work on the wall. If you look closely, you can see mine. True story: Fresco takes a lot of time and is very laborious, very physical. It's equally been the most tiring and most satisfying time I've had here at the residency. The fresco painting I mean, not the reception. well... maybe that's true too. It coincided with my allergies going haywire. Again, the painting...

As for tonight, the Judy Pfaff lecture. What more can I say? other than it was great, very insightful, continuing to challenge us. A not so crazy after party ensued. Tomorrow I have a studio visit with Judy. Wish me luck.

OFILI IN DA HOUSE!

2011-07-16T18:35:00.008-05:00

That's right. Chris Ofili has come to visit Skowhegan! He gave a great lecture last night. This was the third lecture he's done, word on the street has it. It was a very surreal night. It began with an artist reception dinner. We ate fancy hors d'œuvres, swordfish, and had an open bar. Then it was the lecture, to which he had set a synchronized soundtrack. Afterwards, was the reception party, again with open bar and had conversations with Ofili. He was very easy going, he was so awesome to talk to. We exchanged a few ideas together. The Karaoke party had already begun by the time we showed up. Again, an open bar. After several more drinks I couldn't resist but sing Michael Jackson's "Beat it" for the crowd. Once 4am came around a few of us jumped in the lake for a swim. Chris joined us. It was a lot of fun. A lot of these nights out here feel like something out of a dream. more soon.

Skow 1/2

2011-07-14T12:30:00.005-05:00

Today marks the halfway point of the residency. It's been like an intensive grad school art camp. We get studio visits every week with resident artists along with superstar visiting artists like Judy Pfaff and Vito Acconci (who has the sexiest voice in the art world), the latter of which paced backwards and forwards throughout his entire lecture and Q&A. The studio visits always leave me feeling shaken up and my brain with a new spirit, a mind-fuck if you will, every single week. Sometimes more often. Everyone is very smart. The only way I can try to put it into words is that they are all very 'aware'. The legends of past participants linger in the drunken conversations on many occasions. New ideas and what seems to be an infinite amount of time to produce these projects with other participants is one of the best feelings out here. Also, group discussions on specified topics within the art world happen once a week. Participants with skills on any given practice are encouraged to host a demo session and teach others their master craft. There is a lot of dedication here, and it's good. We are becoming a big family. The weather is getting nicer and swimming has become an everyday relaxer. I'll keep you updated again, soon.

Emergency dance party

Greetings, from Skowhegan!

2011-06-20T11:04:00.017-05:00

Greetings,
I have been struggling with the idea of documenting my experience at Skowhegan and posting it up on this blog. On the one hand, I want to engulf myself in the atmosphere completely here, severing all connections I have back home including virtual connections. On the other hand, I want to share with you some of the images that surround me here in Maine as a way of giving you an entry as to what life is like here at this residency. So here it is, after reviewing the pros and cons I have decided to share with you my photos at Skowhegan. Enjoy.

my studio is here. nice and quiet. no music is playing loudly.

Our dorm is brand new, newly renovated, but with no heater. At night it gets really cold, feels like 40°F indoors. We use the fireplace sometimes to get warm.

this is pretty much what dinner looks like on a good day. At times it gets really cold and rainy and we all huddle inside the cabin where dinner is prepared. They feed us so much good food. I don't know when to stop eating yet. And yes, I'm getting fat.

This is the library. The collection is amazing!

the view from my studio, those rain boots are a lifesaver out here.

This is how we know we are going the right way

The woods are easy to get lost in at night.

These cows hang out next to these studios. They follow people around, then get freaked out by any movements they make.

My dad went to the opening which was pretty freaking cool. He finally got to see me do something right for a change.

One of my free stickers ended up in front of the urinals in the Men's restroom. I forget that college kids love to vandalize.

Food! the pan dulce was my contribution to the table.

4-1-11 St. Louis SGC 2011 pictures!!

2011-04-01T12:25:00.023-05:00

SGC (Southern Graphics Council) is one of the largest printmaking conferences in the US today. Every year a different city hosts this conference along with it's accompanying demonstrations of new forms of printmaking. The Universities from the hosting cities have their students and faculty organize these demos, either in their printmaking studio, or wherever there's room. The Sam Fox School of Art And Design hosted the 2011 SGC conference. Panel discussions are another rewarding portion of the conference as the most renowned names in the printmaking world today share with us their work ideas and studio practice. Crowds and crowds of students show up to these events throughout the 4 days of the conference.

So finally I've had some time to go through my pictures and re-tell a tale worth telling. Let me start from the end...

This was my setup at the Open Portfolio.

A zine show run by my friend Paul Windle and his crew from UT Arlington. This was part of the opening party. awesome reads.

Shirts hanging from Tom Huck's Evil Studio

Possibly the world's smallest press, at the Vendor Fair.

Check out the Sam Fox School's Printmaking Studio. They have a weird looking ventilation system that probably works like a beast.

Stamping our name tags with found stamps

Soundlines-This was a demo that showed us how sound is generated by covering areas of the table with ink, and depending on how we apply the ink, sound would be created as the ink blocks light from hitting the glass on the table.

This was by far one of my favorite demos.

Print Installation at that Sam Fox school

This demo showed us how to print using transparent layers of glue that would then show us as you smear pigment over the surface. pretty cool stuff.

more print installation as part of "Farming at the Edge of Equilibrium and Reverie" demo

Courier Demo. These guys on the right allowed us to "gift" a mystery print to a friend. The friend would show up at an announced destination and receive their surprise print in a package. They were super enthusiastic about it too.

Kerry James Marshall had a show down the street with some of his intaglio prints along with his own wallpaper.

Rat mascot, i think, of the grad studios

Monstercise Demo- Create your own monster by printing different relief-carved body parts together on a sheet of paper.

Tom Hucks Evil Prints Studio. Tom Huck was all over St. Louis. These following images are from his amazing studio, serving drinks, live bands playing, printmaking on things, and carnival-style games, all under one roof.

Cherokee street was a street full of print shops and local restaurants, music stores, vintage clothes stores, and hangouts for the SGC atteendees.

Print Bash! - A Print fundraiser organized by myself and my friend Phuoc to benefit the American Red Cross Japan Relief.

My prints were exhibited in the back room
