When I was a kid, all but 3 of my teeth had to be pulled.
(Those other 3 I pulled out myself, wiggling them because they were "loose" until they actually were loose. One I yanked out at summer camp, out of mild boredom. Every one else was swimming.)
They weren't falling out naturally. A few adult teeth were coming in, but in a very helter-skelter way, all over the place. So I'd have to go in, get shot up with novocaine, and get a handful of teeth pulled at a time. From this…

OMG nipples.
A few weeks back I submitted some of the Caitlyn paintings for consideration for inclusion in a show. It was being put together (from what I could tell) by a NY-based nomadic curatorial group, and was going to be hung in a church. I didn't think much of it. I've had my work included in shows that happened to be staged in churches before. Some churches are very progressive and my work is fairly tame in the grand scheme of things, to be honest.
But it was turned down for being too sexual. That's fine. It was actually nice to receive the jurors' notes -- that's pretty rare. And the goal is to keep submitting, rack up those rejections, right?
More recently, I submitted a similar selection of work…

I ran into an acquaintance a few weeks ago... My interactions with this guy feel like they're out of the pre-digital New York era. We've had great conversations about art, but I have no contact info for him. I don't even know his real name, so there's no looking him up on Facebook. I only have the pleasure of chatting with him when we physically cross paths. Anyway, I ran into him again the other day, after maybe 6 months of not seeing him. Last time we talked, I had showed him the first couple of Caitlyn paintings. He's always very encouraging…

I'm having this realization that the people who buy your (and by “your” I mean my) art are in this weird friend-acquaintance-turned-customer zone. I guess I always thought that at some point I'd be selling things to strangers and living in my own little art cave…
Read MoreIt's that time of year again. The leaves are changing colors, you're pulling the winter jackets out of storage, and people are expecting you to dress up for Halloween even though you're a full-grown adult.
Don't worry, I've got you covered. (Eh, at least the ladies in the room. Guys, there are still a few T-shirts from last year's batch if you're feeling left out.)
Last year I experimented with putting my skeleton design on racerback tank tops -- I liked the idea of the spine running up the back strap, but the printing just wasn't working out. This year I got it figured out.
This year's shirts are discharge printed on a 60/40 cotton-poly blend. So grab one now to cover your Halloween-inspired wardrobe needs, and then wear it to the gym all winter. The print is actually embedded in the fibers of the fabric instead of sitting on top like paint, so it'll take a beating in the wash along with your other gym shirts. (Just no bleach!!)
For fit, I've found the size chart to be accurate with my own body measurements. The difference between sizes is small, but the fabric has a fair bit of stretch, so the fit is pretty forgiving. For example, I found the medium most comfortable, but I can get the extra-small on without a problem. So if you like a snugger or looser fit, go ahead and order up a size up or down.
Whether you're getting your spook on or just haunting the gym, submit your order by this Thursday to ensure delivery before Halloween weekend.
