Loot Bags for Doored

I just made 50 Loot Bags for Doored, a monthly comedy and performance night hosted by Life of a Craphead at Double Double Land, the fourth one was last night, it was so good! 
Klassic Kool Shoppe bags had pencils, a smiley face eraser, a bouncy ball, wind up walking jean pants (the butt wiggles), From the desk of Mr. Worm screenprint + some other printed paper, WE ARE NOT ALONE alien guy, one jolly rancher (because I accidentally ate too many and there weren't enough for two), and an ad clipped out of Hammacher Schlemmer (most ridiculous, expensive and useless inventions magazine)
 I sharpened them all at once after spending a long time picking the best ones out of a bin at Active Surplus, my favourites were the ones with a sunset gradient and RESPONSIBILITY! written in black over top with shooting stars

I made this a couple weeks ago in a feverish daze when I was incredibly sick. There is this NO 1 CARES sticker that is stuck in the machine at Galleria Mall that I've been intensely longing for and trying to get out for the past two years

Some pictures of the wallpapering and stage installations I did for Feast in the East. The wallpapers are screenprinted on manilla and are 18" x 24" I have lots left if you want!
Goodnight Moon was one of my favourite books as a kid; the illustrations were a huge influence on me. This is my version of the cover.

Gifts By Artists at Art Metropole

ho ho ho it's me, Santa,
I made this screenprint from a hand cut vinyl sign I made this summer while on the Island. It is a poem (I guess) from a thing I wrote. How can I tell if a poem is a poem?
It's for the GBA at Art Metropole, this show is always a good time! Great funny artist made gifts at affordable rates. Opens on Saturday, December 8th. see you there!

Feast in the East

yooo my bud Joƫle Walinga and I will be cooking for this upcoming Feast in the East! We are making Mexican soups. I for some reason decided to take the moral high road and make the vegan version. I'm not vegan, nor am I vegetarian. But I found this blog VEGANDAD and found a recipe of vegan chorizo sausage, which I will attempt for this meal! It's going to be DELECTABLE. ALso, music and installations! what more could you want?
