Covering Jacksonville FL & Beyond
Dieter has such a distinctive style and bit of a retro feel. But most of all pretty creepy. His work is inspiring and just really fun to look at. I love his monsters and little nods to 80’s cartoons. His Flickr pages has a lot more work than his website. 
On a totally different note, and NOT a Flickr Find but a must see…. I give you, The Sistine Chapel.
We aint afraid of no ghosts… are you? Put your jumpsuit on, strap on the ol’ proton pack and join us TONIGHT at 9PM @ Cafe 331. The art of James Hance, Josh Hoye and Ashley Lanni is all fresh and Ghostbuster themed. So come give some love to The First Coast Ghostbusters and celebrate their 25 yrs of paranormal activity.

Im starting a new section to The Outer Box, its called “Flickr Finds.” This morning I found this guy. Haroshi. He is bloody brilliant. This guy works with recycled skate decks that he collects. Speechless. Also, you can check his site out here… Haroshi.com
AND… Happy Fathers Day!
I Am Your Father
First things first, Mesh Magazine. Photographer George Akel is the mastermind behind the mag. This could be an amazing magazine. If you are any type of artist in Jacksonville there is no reason why you shouldnt be backing these guys.
We’re trying to create the BEST and only magazine dedicated to Jacksonville’s art scene with a little bit of music and dining thrown in the mix. Everyone speaks about pushing the art scene in Jacksonville to the next level and getting exposure. Let’s take that next step. Please help out by pledging now. Minimum donation is 5 bucks. If all of us group together and start revolutionizing, then we can make this thing happen and FINALLY have a magazine worthwhile. -Mesh Mag.
So what are you waiting for!? Go to kickstarter.com to help support. We all know nothing is free, donate $5 or do $10 and you get to go to the launch party. So lets gang up and turn it into a tangible readable kick ass art mag for Jacksonville!
Second… So at the end of the Drawing for Life marathon (Logan Zawacki), myself and a few other artists swapped drawings. I ended up getting a drawing by Chad Landenberger. I found it the other day and had to do something with it. So here it is, a little forced collabo with Chad on lines and me on color. Enjoy.

Im pretty sure I saw 99 red balloons float past my window this morning. You know what that means… its April 10th and the Poprocks and Pop Art Rocks show is TONIGHT. Come to 1253 McDuff Ave S @ 7pm to 11pm for one of the best themed art show since 1984. Its hip to be “THERE”! Pics to come.
(I heard a rumor Cindy Lauper might show up)
I just finished the poster for James and Ashley. Show opens SATURDAY, April 10th!!! This is going to be an amazing show. I know, because Me and the Doc have already been. I bought a piece, tried to bring it back with me but it screwed up some space time continuum thingy. There will be a SNEAK PREVIEW at the Downtown ArtWalk this Wednesday in the old Library (just look for the poster). The show will be held at the old Bogda gallery house. But its not Bogda anymore (address on poster). So, sling those slap bracelets on, tighten up your nike pumps and RELAX. This show is going to be the bomb diggity. truffle shuffle. nanu nanu.

Like totally radical artist James Hance and Ashley Lanni have put together a slick 80’s/childhood/nostalgia art show for our viewing pleasure. SO get your flux capacitor ready and set the date cause its gunna be a blast to the past. The show will include free drinks and all our favorite retro candy. Also featuring artist Vanessa Alvarado! More info to come!
Myself, Russ Wilson, and Kurtis Loftus will be at the Jax Beach Community Center from 5:30 to 8:30 TONIGHT ONLY… so come out!! Hope to see you there. (25% of proceeds go to help out BEAM)
Geez, Its been a while since Ive spoke up here. Too long. Well, I saw this and HAD to share. Just watch, you’ll know what I mean…
I hate posting stuff about myself, BUT I did the cover for this weeks (8/11-17/09) Folio Weekly. For those who dont know, Folio Weekly is Northeast florida’s guide to the who’s who and the what’s what on info and events for NE Florida. They cover news, art, music, business and people with “wit, substance and incisive commentary.” The issue I did the cover for was their “Bite by Bite”/food issue, which comes out annually. My illustration is featured on the cover as well as the inside story, I happy with how the colors and all translated onto newsprint. So go check it out… you can pick up a copy most anywhere (I just went to Shebly’s Coffee shop to scooop up a few).
