zines are out!

We’re now taking orders for copies of dirt is dirt #1, our very first quarterly zine.

Officially, we loosed it upon the world in a very limited run on St. Patrick’s Day 2012, but we sold out in about 5 minutes. Due to demand we’re currently producing a larger first edition. If you want one, and I know you do, hit us up at dirtisdirtdotcom@gmail.com right now. They’re only 5 bucks each + shipping (or we can just give it to you in person if you’re in Philadelphia).

things that mice have eaten off of my desk

Like a lot of people who spent thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars learning how to be an artist (!), I work in an art gallery. And like most people who work in art galleries, I have to deal with your typical art gallery problems: The septic pump overflowing and flooding the basement with poop water, piles of artwork falling on top of people, no AC in the summer and no heat in the winter, and of course, the mice infestations.  Continue reading

Benjamin Howard - Social Unrest

In his words, Ben Howard creates “paintings and drawings in a wide array of media and subject matter. Often large scale compositions that explore the sometimes over-sensory experience of walking down a city street infused with narrative derived from lucid imagination,” and we totally get that.  Continue reading
