I’m excited to have a piece included in the upcoming Spread the Word auction at Mark Moore Gallery in Culver City — to benefit 826LA. Founded by novelist Dave Eggers, 826LA is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting students ages 6 to 18 years old with their creative and expository writing skills, and to helping teachers inspire their students to write.

More than 80 contemporary artists are participating. Profits from the sales of each piece will go to this worthy cause.

More details for the Dec. 17 event are here: http://spreadthewordmmg.eventbrite.com/

I have a short story, illustrated by Christopher Darling, in Issue 3 of Carrier Pigeon, out soon! Check out: www.carrierpigeonmag.com.

I'm proud to have a series of drawings in issue #2 of Death: a magazine for enthusiasts and non-enthusiasts alike. You can view them on the magazine's web site, on the last page of the issue. (http://deathmag.com/)

I'm one of the artists featured in Surfer in the Sky, an upcoming book.
David Moser was an aspiring art student when a rare heart condition claimed his life at the age of 19. Though his death took him away from his family and friends, his passion for life, surfing and art keep his spirit alive. The book celebrates his spirit and the spirit of surfing.

PRESS RELEASE:
Supermarket is an exhibition of cutting edge design, organised by 'My Basement Productions' in collaboration with 'Bui Bolg Street Theater' and 'disposable DREAM'- visual artists.

The exhibition will include work from fresh and innovative fashion designers, jewelers, interior designers, footwear designers, photographers, graphic design and visual artists. The portfolio of creatives are all based in Ireland but hail from all over the world – representing the new multi-cultural Ireland.

Ireland's creative enterprises are blossoming, despite the current economic crisis, and if you want to purchase high quality, well designed,unique, progressive design then Supermarket is for you – a place where you can meet designers and buy work directly from them.
This exhibition goes way beyond the mainstream offerings of the high street; with a rich and wide variety of objects from the functional to the purely decorative on offer.

The range of artists and designers involved are very diverse and include Julian Berwick, shoe designer, who recently was shortlisted for the Irish Designer of the Year awards as well as Holly Dungan an artist from New Ross; 'Her tree series is masterly, with an almost Oriental simplicity that makes it very striking' wrote Niamh McGarry, Metro.

The exhibition is being held in the upstairs gallery of
65 South Main Street above Lowney's Mall
from the 17th October to the 2nd November.

It is open every day except Mondays and Tuesdays.

Opening hours are from 11-00 -7.00pm on Friday and Saturday and 11.00 - 5.00pm every other day.

The official opening is on Friday the 17th October at 6pm by Rosaleen Molloy, the Arts officer for Wexford County Council, all are welcome.

It will be open until 10.00pm on the 17th if you fancy some late night shopping!
The reception is being sponsored generously by The Talbot Hotel, Wexford.

We are most grateful for their support.

Now that the Olympics are over and I have my fantasy football draft tonight, I'm getting excited for the fall and all the awkwardly beautiful butterflies that will spring from my semi-nimble painting fingers. I've been painting portraits of surfers and jazz musicians for possible shows at the Jazz Bakery, as well as trying my hand at landscapes, with promising results. I'm continuing to draw portraits of friends from myspace as well.

On the writing front, I've started to enter my completed first novel, "Kings of the Earth," into first book contests. And a screenplay I co-wrote is in the hands of a capable producer who's currently approaching agents and directors. I'm confident he can convince folks to jump on board what I think is a pretty sturdy ship...and hopefully it will lead to a studio saying "yes."
