Ship’n Babies ‘n Semi’s

This last weekend three clients of mine had commissioned your’s truly to paint three different subjects that I’ve never painted nor sketched before: a baby, a semi, and a pirate ship. Let me know what you guys think!

Greetings from the Mighty Pacific!

Below you’ll find an photograph taken during a recent trip around the Olympic Peninsula as well as some selections from a new visual project I’m working on. It’s called Portrait Of June In Increments. I’m also including a song by a band called Grand Hallway. They’re from Seattle and just released a pretty great record last week called Winter Creatures. Enjoy!

Apple Tree by Grand Hallway

“Pt. 3: Purple Patch”

“Pt. 4: Rube Goldberg Machine-Springtime Version”

“Pt. 6: Ode to June 11 and 12 as well as to the indescribable beauty of the Olympic National Forest”

P.S. Happy birthday John!

List of Birds

Written yesterday. Recorded in less than two hours today. This might be an ongoing project. I think I’ll call it slow-motion bedroom pop and then not give a shit. We can all thank Derek for the terrifyingly awesome portrait.

James Gadsden Performs “Cathryn’s Hymn”

Dan — Wed, 11 May 2011 08:43:57 +0000

I just spent four hours recording and have nothing to show for it.

Download audio file (Cathryns-Hymn.mp3)

Born again by mourning
Moving mouthfuls of flowers
Up and down the alleys
Which all return to you

And your cherry blossom lips
And your champagne anthems
That keep honest men keeping on

You sang,
“Be brave and serve your purpose
Or go die out in a corn field
No one here can save you
Except you and you alone

But your songs, they bear repeating
Like some transcendental mornings
That keep some good people keeping on”

James Gadsden

This is James Gadsden. He is responsible for the Gadsden purchase, a shady land deal made with mexico that was responsible for what is today southern arizona and new mexico. He kinda looks like dan.
