Austin/SXSW was fun. Impromptu hang-outs with Missy, S5 and Courtneyriot was especially exciting! Also met Sideshow_Freak. Good times. And I made some money.

My liver needs a vacation.

See you next month, PDX!

Another Noise Pop has come and gone and, hopefully, I will not contract the fest cold that everyone seems to be coming down with.

Spent some time with havana at Die Antwoord and Sleigh Bells. I wish I would have known I had all access. But then again, I wouldn't have had Alexis' ass smash my face so that's something.



This happened. - probably nothing new to readers of this here blog.

Two weeks of busy work and minimal drinking before I jet off to SXSW and Flatstock. And then a month before I leave for London, Liverpool, Paris and Barcelona! Then straight from Barcelona to Bonnaroo - that should be some culture shock.

I curated a show about iconic lyrics. This is a detail of one of my pieces.


This was the opening.


I flew to Telluride in a little twin engine turbo-prop.

It's weird how much things have change here. I used to post a blog a few time a week and I'd get pages of responses. These days, I post maybe 2-3 times a month and get less than five responses. One is usually someone calling me an asshole because I moderated a post or denied their group request. My friends list slowly dwindles but there aren't new faces replacing them. C'est la vie.

Anyway... it was a pretty good year. I was busier than ever and new projects and opportunities found me instead of me searching. I travelled all over the place and even managed to see some new cities. I reconnected with some old friends and grew closer with some new friends.

I've definitely had a lot of personal change this year as well. As I approach mid-life, I can clearly feel aspects of my youth shedding away. It's an odd feeling.

So here is the year in instagram -

So... I drove to LA yesterday for this show I did a poster for. It was a fun show and there was a swanky after-party full of rock stars and celebs and very important peoples. But I think my favorite part of the evening was when this dude came up to me and said he couldn't help overhearing that I was a poster artist and he asked me if I was Coop. I explained I wasn't and the dude was kind of embarrassed and then tried to cover it up by telling me that he isn't just some nobody and that he works on The Big Bang Theory. So that was awkward. But other than that it was great.

That was Texas. Now I have a Texas-sized flu. Oof.
