HIGH LIFE UPDATE
Art Practical publishes a review:

My only response is that it has become the trademark of lazy and cynical writing to label everything in sight as hipster this or that. You gotta dig deeper.



 
   

100 RECORDS
Sonny Smith @ Gallery 16, San Francisco


The musician Sonny Smith put together a pretty fantastic group show based on 100 different fictional bands. For each one of these bands he creates two songs, and an artist creates a 45 RPM record for the band. This show is travelling on to NYC.

BIGGITY-O!
I have made the move to Oakland! My studio is back up and running and is much much warmer than the previous studio. Hopefully that'll be good for getting in and working at night.

Best wishes for 2010. KK

POSTCARD SHOW
Looking forward to participating in The LAB gallery's annual Postcard Show. Stop by and check out a great collection of small work. Opens on Friday, December 4th, from 6-9pm.
Work is priced to sell - from $1 to $50. Lots of fun.
 
    The studio is pretty damn cold right now. But some nights the space heater gets cranked up and I work out there anyhow. Here are a bunch of color tests and by products of the drawings I made for the Postcard Show.

In other news, I will soon be saying goodbye to this studio as I am moving to Oakland. After 2 years working here, and 13 of living in San Francisco, I am looking forward to seeing something fresh when walking out the front door. As well, the East Bay's relatively flat streets are calling out to my bicycle. I hope to be driving less in 2010.

MARJORIE WOOD GALLERY
I have collorated with the poet Ingrid Keir, contrubuting
some new ink paintings. Both the words and images center
around the apartment that we share. Check out the drawings

In April 2010 I will be having a solo show at the Eleanor Harwood Gallery. Having worked with Eleanor when she curated the Adobe Books Backroom Gallery, as well as showing with her at the Miami Art Fair, I am excited to continue that relationship in her new space.

> Spring 2009

 
    Spring is on us, and studio renovations are finished. I spent some time in Thailand over the New Year's holiday and saw a lot of brilliant graphic work - tshirts, fabric patterning, tour buses, at the malls. So I have returned feeling inspired and with the intention of putting that visual momentum in to the studio.


 
   

> Fall 2008

   



So.. a little bit of renovation going on in my lovely detached garage that doubles as studio & hide-out. Not too far from the fridge in case I need reinforcements.

The back part of the studio leaks when it rains, but thats ok cause I just keep that space clear. Besides the slugs like the moisture and I like the silvery trails they leave behind on the walls.

Been going through a few months of making work and then wrapping and putting it away in a drawer. Now those drawings are beginning to emerge. I am looking forwrd to some surprises.

Would you like to see the new wall and some new work? I invite you up. We’ll drink some beer.I’ll play you some music. Its chilly most days - bring a sweater.
