Art For Obama

Art for Obama: Designing Manifest Hope and the Campaign for Change was released this month. The book catalogues the many pieces of art displayed at Shepard Fairey’s Manifest Hope exhibitions. Two of my pieces, The Games They Played (Manifest Hope, DC) and New Game (Manifest Hope, Denver), are included, as are works by some of my favorite artists such as Ron English, The Date Farmers, David Choe, Tristan Eaton, Tim Biskup, Travis Lampe, Cathie Bleck, and Mike Perry. All proceeds from the book are going to Americans for the Arts.

Enlighten!

I was recently invited to design a lamp for Enlighten! One Night of Light, an artist lamp show benefiting inner-city arts. Each artist’s lamp design will be sold in a limited edition available for one night only. In addition, some artists will also create one original, handmade shade for a lamp that will be featured in a silent auction. A portion of all sales will benefit Inner-City Arts, an organization offering opportunities for at-risk children from Los Angeles schools to build artistic self-expression, enhancing their ability to perform both creatively and academically in challenging environments.

Enlighten! is being curated by Tornado Design and the lamps are being produced by Lamp-In-A-Box. If you cannot attend the show but would like to pre-order a lamp, click here.

My piece, titled “Zane’s Dilemma”, was inspired by the textile arts of William Morris and the English Arts and Crafts Movement.

8-Bit Keyboard Cat T-Shirt

After a recent fiasco with someone selling products featuring my Keyboard Cat illustration (they’ve since taken down the products and offered monetary compensation) and numerous requests on my Youtube page for a T-Shirt, I’ve set up a shop at MySoti where you can purchase a shirt of my design.
