I’m one of Nancy’s biggest fans, so naturally, I’m thrilled to spread the word about her DRAWING FOR A CURE shoppe section to benefit the memory of her friend’s father, lost to Acute Moncytic Leukemia.

Keep doing good things, Nancy— we’ll follow.

Cat’s working on something custom for next month’s MANKIND issue— I can’t wait to show it to you! Eek!

OK, if you listen to ONE thing I say this week [make that year], listen to this:

File Magazine is exceedingly fabulous. Seriously. I’m in utter amazement. Not only is it chock full of major art/culture inspiration [think Of Montreal, Beck and a free limited print from Geoff McFetridge], but it’s size is strikingly reminiscent of the 39×30 cm ad agency work of my past. Even better? It includes an accompanying DVD with two hours of short films, music videos and interviews.

Have I sung enough praises yet? Subscribe NOW. I’m off to do the same.

Ha! I loooooove Deerman. He’s been waiting all winter long for someone to take him home— it could be you! And don’t worry— he’s been neatly wrapped during the chilly months so he won’t catch cold. He’s just a delight to have around [although sometimes he tells very bad jokes].

Comment below to enter; winner will be notified via email on May 11th! [thank you, Melabo!]

Ana Laura has one of my favorite techniques of all time—- you can smell her work from a mile away [and it smells gooooooood]. She’s made two custom pieces for Mankind Mag‘s May issue, which releases tomorrow! I can’t wait to show you…

Just wanted to wish all the luck in the land to my dear e-friend Meighan of My Love For You— she’s curated her FIRST show ever and it’s a total goodie. If you’re in SF, visit Needles & Pens and give her a hug for me, will you?

Congrats to all artists involved, and great job, Megs!
