FINALLY a few items that were given to me...

Alex mailed me this wonderful print (and matching sticker) he made by hand in his relief & lithography class!...



My agent Kate got these keen fabrics for me at the Bust Craftacular!...



My friend Rob Tarbell made this simply amazing piece for me using my stencil. The image is actually made from smoke that is captured on the paper! See more of this type of work as well as his other awesome pieces on his site.



And last but not least I was honored to get a note from Joe Dante (yes, the director of Gremlins and more!) thanking me for promoting his site Trailers From Hell on Skull-A-Day! If you are a film lover and you haven't yet checked it out yet, do yourself a favor and spend some time on there now, it's really a treat.
