Here is a link to two of my friends that are great artists with two totally different strokes.

Brandon Bagby is from Louisiana and is an avid musician that really shows in his art. It takes cues from bourbon street, to street performers, to a whimsical interpolation of music.

Meghan Ellie Smith paints with an ocean of energy and eye for a mash of common elements in uncommon style. When I see her work i cant help but imagine that it must be visions of our inner earth (note the hollow earth theory http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollow_Earth).

They are both talented and sell prints and original pieces. My advice is to go spend your next paycheck on their work and catch work from rising talent.

I heard about this magazine on NPR and what a genious business idea. This guy finds trash, and if it is interesting enough, he compiles it into a once a year magazine called found, but he also has a blog style thing with continuous finds,  Making a living of other peoples discarded lives.

So pretty much, I made photographs (flickr.com/photos/lux_est_veritas/) and read about the breakup of the US as per written by Professor Igor Panarin (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123051100709638419.html).

and to sum up my year, lets see, three CDs written and recorded, one of those being of my own, LA x 2, Chitown, Philadelphia, Tulsa, Austin, Houston, not to mention, nashville, ATL, new car, im sure countless other things im not thinking of, i could say this year was brill.

Look at my flickr if you want.
