Some Newly Launched Sites to Watch

A few fellow Chicago artists and good friends of mine decided to finally make what has been a long time coming. check It out our work and events at www.wearecartel.com

a bit from the mission statement:

Cartel is a collaborative effort of artists who create in the Midwest. Chicago is no stranger to the art world boasting a heavy dose of institutions, galleries, and home to about a billion artists and counting. We created Cartel to separate ourselves from the bevy of talent this city has to offer. We are no better or worse than any other working artists out here and believe that we have a unique perspective on things with all of our different styles.

Wearecartel.com will be home to 12 different artists working and creating in Chicago, sharing their experiences with you. We hope to entertain and inform you on just a small piece of what this great city has to offer artistically.

I will be updating work both here and there regularly, but this may be a little bit more personal, so read both!



Also, Freshlydipped.com is a recently launched website where you can by my artwork, as well as work by other artists. Please check it out and if you are interested you can hit me up with any questions as to how this works. Its really simple, and priced to move!!!

Vinylmore @ Atomic Pop!

Hey Baltimore! I was asked to be in a show in the new toy store Atomic Pop! I hope those of you I know who still live there will go to the opening and then drink a bunch of Natty Boh for me! Anyhow, Here's my piece:

And to make it relevant there's a story that goes with him, read on!

Sammy Goat was my cat I had when I lived In Baltimore. He was the best cat, and I think he thought he was a person because he would look up at you and talk in intermittent meows that sounded like he was talking. He would respond to Sammy Goat, Sammy Gittner, Samuel J Goat, Sammy bin Laden, or Whammy Bar. I had to give him to my Mom, who lives in the boondocks and he got ran down by a redneck. This is a dedication to him.

As always click to view bigger. I hope you dig him!
