Final Days! 2009 Calendar with FREE Shipping
Pre-order by Friday Midnight ET and I will pay the shipping on my 2009 Calendars (domestic orders within the United States only). As I only have 250 calendars that I will be signing and selling from my website, they are available on a first-come basis only.

Things are progressing nicely with my A Thousand Words Project. I have submitted the first batch of my favorite stories to the editor, and as I hear back from her, I will begin contacting the authors whose stories have been selected. We are looking forward to working with you guys regarding any tweaking or editing that might be needed, so stay tuned. Your career as a published writer might be just around the corner!

I know it has been a while, but yes I am still creating! So much has been going on the past month, my normal routine has been knocked out of whack. But, I will have a new release coming next week. You can always see what I am working on by checking out my blog; in progress pics of my latest work are posted there.

"Red Truck"

Lastly, the Art of the Month for August is my wine-labeled inspired piece, Red Truck. All merchandise featuring this work is on sale at 15% off for the entire month.

...
Okay, I have some good news and some bad news.

The good news? The calendars have arrived! And they look AWESOME! The folks at Bruno Gmünder did a wonderful job.

Now the bad news... The publisher says that for now, I can't ship them out before September 1st. This date could get moved up though, and if it does I'll let you know.

The Léche-Vitrines Art Gallery in Ft. Lauderdale, FL has started carrying limited edition giclee prints of my artwork. If you're in the area, be sure to stop by.

In conjunction with its cultural event "Provocation - Sensualité & Érotisme", and in association with Le Bal Érotique and Erotic Signature, Le Conseil des Arts du Québec (CAQ) will be host for "ARTundressed" during the dates of August 12 - 17th at the 'Musee Juste Pour Rire' - Montreal, Canada.

Erotic Signature greatly appreciate their hospitality and thanks Le Conseil Des Arts Du Quebec for making it possible to exhibit the many talented artists participating in the Tour.

MLR Press has licensed my artwork "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" for a gay-themed military anthology. This is the same company I'm working with on publishing my A Thousand Words Project. We've decided to go with color images of the artwork for that project. While it will make the book more expensive, I think color images are really needed. ····· As many of my originals were sold during my show at the Lyman-Eyer gallery, the owner has suggested that I raise the price of my originals, and I have agreed to do so. This should come as welcomed news to those of you who have purchased my originals, as it increases the value of your investment. Thank you for making my show such a huge success! I have posted some images of my works hanging in the gallery over at my blog.

And as a final note, I will be moving my website to a new hosting company this weekend. During that time, purchasing will be disabled. I hope to have everything up and running by Monday.

NOTICE: My apologies to those who have had issues with the website today. My hosting company, EMC, decided to take it upon themselves to move my website to a new server without informing me, resulting in two versions of my website floating around out there until the new ip address gets propagated.

Once again, Bruno Gmünder has published a calendar featuring my original artwork. And once again, I have 250 copies to sign and sell exclusively through my website. Since I only have a limited supply, they are available on a first come basis.

My calendar will be ready to ship in about a month, but you can pre-order it now and receive free first class shipping within the United States.

Friday evening's reception was a wonderful experience. The turn out was great, and the weather was just perfect. Jim (the gallery owner) made sure things went smoothly and kept me from being overwhelmed. I enjoyed meeting people new to my work, those who have been fans for a while, and seeing a few familiar faces from last years show. To make it even better, three more originals sold (7 total), a couple more framed prints, and orders for more prints continue to come in from the gallery.

The three originals sold include "Crave", "Northern Exposure", and "Full Service".

I may have found a publisher for my A Thousand Words Project. I hope to have more news about that soon.

"Seascape"

Seascape is the final piece created specifically for my upcoming show. To purchase the original, contact the Lyman-Eyer Gallery. Full size limited edition gallery, limited edition studio, and open edition portfolio prints are available for purchase. The Day of Issue Sale is on until around Midnight ET tomorrow.

Escape Gallery show Opens!
It's finally here! It's been a long time coming, it's been rocky and chaotic, and you're probably tired of hearing about it, but Escape opens tomorrow at the Lyman-Eyer Gallery. I look forward to meeting some of you who've told me you're gonna be at Friday's reception. I'll also be at the gallery for an hour on Saturday and Sunday afternoon. Otherwise, I'm on vacation!

"Blue State"

This past week, the Lyman-Eyer gallery sold "Blue State", making it a total of four originals sold there since bringing in my work.

Blue State is another of my paintings done specifically for my upcoming show. To purchase the original, contact the Lyman-Eyer Gallery. Full size limited edition gallery, limited edition studio, and open edition portfolio prints are available for purchase. The Day of Issue sale is on until around Midnight ET tomorrow.

Exhibit opens in 8 Days!
My Escape exhibit at the Lyman-Eyer Gallery in Provincetown is only 8 days away! After a hair-pulling two weeks of doing nothing much else but framing, framing, and more framing, the works for the show have been delivered! If you are heading to Provincetown this week for the 4th of July, drop by the gallery as the owner hopes to have some of the work already hung.

Sold Works
A private collector has purchased The Night before Christmas from me, while Rope and Dirty Laundry have been sold through the Lyman-Eyer Gallery. Also, someone has agreed to buy the Restraint series, so they are once again pending.

"Beach Boys"

Now that Summer is well underway, I felt that Beach Boys would be prefect as July's Art of the Month. All merchandise featuring this work is on sale at 15% off for the entire month.

Also, signed copies of my 2009 Calendar, from publisher Bruno Gmünder, will be available for pre-ordering in about two weeks. I will let you all know once it is available for purchase.
