I recently spent nine amazing days in Berlin with curators Love Ablan and Jon M. Gibson (founder of the I Am 8-Bit art show) setting up an installation at Neurotitan, attending the Pictoplasma conference, and absorbing as much of this crazy city as I could in such a short period of time.
I’m heading to Berlin on Friday for the Pictoplasma conference and an exhibition at Neurotitan that corresponds with the Berlin Character Walk (my show is #6). My installation will consist entirely of Post-It Notes, some of which will be drawn or painted on by a number of fantastic artists, including Emmy-winners Jorge R. Gutierrez and Sandra Equihua, Gabe Swarr, Jim Mahfood and MyTarPit
I’m probably going to hell for this piece, but I just couldn’t resist. Jensen from Gallery 1988 was kind enough to invite me to participate in the gallery’s upcoming Idiot Box show. The theme of this exhibition is television’s guilty pleasures, shows so bad they’re good. Dennis “Mr. Belding” Haskins is hosting the show, so Jensen requested I do a SBTB piece.

Today I was flipping through the new issue of Communication Arts, which happens to be their 50th anniversary issue. Pages 66–85 contain a timeline of the last fifty years that “provide a brief overview of the evolution of creativity in visual communication and its relationship to society, culture and technology.”
I almost dropped the magazine when I got to the last spread (comprising 2004–2008) when I noticed that The Baby Owner’s Manual that I illustrated and designed with Paul Kepple at Headcase Design was included around the 2004 mark. What a nice surprise, thanks CA!
