I am taking part in another pop-up art show in Muncie, Metanoia. I'm showing an older piece (2008) that has never been shown in public, and this will likely be the last art exhibit for me in Muncie for awhile.

3/2/2013:
I will be joining the crew at Genuine Tattoo Co. in Bloomington, IN full time starting the week of April 8th, 2013. I am pretty much booked here at Lucky Rabbit until the week of March 18th, at which time I will switch to WALK-INS ONLY. This should allow me to work in Muncie and Bloomington both a little more fluidly. Here is a list of my last available appointments at Lucky Rabbit:

NO AVAILABLE APPOINTMENTS, LIMITED WALK-INS.

Yesterday's Monkey Thunder pop-up art show was beyond awesome! Tons of great art, people, food, and beer. It was an honor to be invited to show work and be a part of it. Thanks to everyone at Gordy's Fine Art and Framing for putting it on.

If you missed this week's episode (ep. 003) of Quality Noise Indiana of which I was the featured guest, you can hear it here for a limited time: Click To Listen. Thanks, it was a blast!

Make sure to check out Quality Noise Indiana, Monday nights from 11PM-Midnight (eastern standard time) on Max 93.5/96.7 FM. This is a totally rad weekly radio show (yes, RADIO, it's still around) dedicated to playing mostly Indiana bands, largely focused on Muncie and surrounding areas, as well as hand selected vinyl's and obscure picks that would not normally be played on the radio. This whole thing is put on by Frank Reber of Reber Recording

I'll be featured on the June 11th show and my lovely wife, Brittany a.k.a. Bruisey Ricardo of the Cornfed Derby Dames, will be featured on the June 18th show. I hope to help out and/or be a guest again in the future, but regardless it's a show worth listening to! If you don't have an old AM/FM radio lying around or just miss the show each episode can be listened to for up to a week on Soundcloud.com.

I would like to thank everyone who has been tattooed in recent months and will in the days ahead. I've got to do a lot of really fun designs and have begun the treacherous trip down the road to developing a style of my own. Artistically, in every medium from paint on wood to ink in skin, I hope to never stop learning, growing, changing, and pursuing that elusive thing that is style, identity, and purpose. I can't do any of that without my awesome clients to inspire me and push me to try new things or the people who purchase and support my artwork. So, thank you, thank you, and thank you!

There have been a few changes around the shop, some good, some are just changes. We lost our long term resident piercer and shop manager, Jay Williams, to his personal business pursuits. Be sure to stop by Indiana Laser Tattoo Removal and setup a consultation to get that scratcher homemade tattoo lasered off or taken down a notch for us to cover up. We now have Alan Vedge piercing full time and my wife, a.k.a. Bruisey Ricardo of Cornfed Derby Dame fame working the front desk part time and keeping things organized. Stop in and take a look around, we still love you.

It's Christmas eve and the shop just closed for the Holiday's. We'll re-open on Tuesday the 27th, but I will not be in until Wednesday the 28th. Have a happy and safe Holiday!

The collaboration design for a new Savage's Ale House T-Shirt by Jay Williams and myself is now available. Sizes S-XL are $12, larger sizes and hoodies coming soon. Printed by local screen printers Abercrombie Ink.

My painting show is now down to make way for Janell's work. Should be a good show, so if you are in the Muncie, IN area, stop by Savage's Ale House tonight for the opening alongside the Arts Walk!

Thanks to all who made it out to my painting show last night. I had way too much fun and I hope everyone else did as well. The paintings will be on display all month, so be sure to stop in a take a look. And don't forget to eat some food, drink some beer, and be merry!

Hey all, Muncie's First Thursday Arts Walk is tomorrow. This is the biggest one of the year with ton's going on. YART will be having the art yard sale, 111 Tattoo and Art gallery will have live music, art, and live sculpture, there will be openings at The Artist Within, Gallery 308, Gordy's Fine Art and Framing, Blue Bottle Coffee, live music, artist demonstrations, a soup walk benefiting Second Harvest Food Bank, and much much more! Oh yeah, I have an opening at one of the raddest bars in town, Savage's Ale House. They have been kind enough to put The Muncie Burger on special and as always, PBR and Hamm's are only $1.
