It's finally happening

It's been almost 4 years in the works and my new film Sign Painters is finally coming to the public.

This week is the kick-off to movie programing around the world in theaters, museums, schools and alternative venues. For a list of screenings + programing visit the website. If you're in the Milwaukee (May 16) + Chicago (May 17) area we hope to see you this week!

Sign Painters: official trailer release

Yesterday we released the official trailer for my most recent documentary Sign Painters. I was so busy responding to the overwhelming amount of email, messages and words of support (thanks everyone!) I forgot to even post it here. I'm not going to lie, this is a huge exciting deal and I am looking forward to moving towards the programing element of this 3+ year project.



If you have any questions about possible programing or interest in setting up a screenings please email: signpaintermovie at gmail.com 

I left my heart in Thailand

Aaron & I spent two weeks in Thailand exploring. Highlights included an amazing local bar stage show,  the night flower market, the White Temple & Black House in Chaing Rai, some relaxing island time and of course just wandering around aimlessly. A big gigantic thanks to Sandy & Logan whom without our trip would of been entirely less exciting and fluid on so many levels.

Saturday: Sign Painter's in NYC

The blog has fallen by the wayside these days. I'm in NY for some great programing including tomorrow's party at the Sky High shop in Williamsburg:

ART vs. CRAFT: celebrating 9 years!

A quick reminder that this weekend, the Saturday after Thanksgiving, is Art vs. Craft. If you will be in Milwaukee hopefully we will see you at the Harley-Davidson Museum to celebrate independent makers & what they create!

Sign Painters!

Big news....my new book is now available! Maybe you want to join Sam & I for the release party in Milwaukee next week?

We have already had some great press in print- [left] NY Magazine Approval Matrix [right] Art in America and online. We urge you to get the book through your local independent bookstore but if that's wayyyy too much to ask then it's also available online.

Our accompanying documentary is still in post-production and should be out in 2013, more details on that as they surface. For now we celebrate.
