After years of being underground I will be<BR>

Mart in downtown Chicago this past fall in the<BR>

SOMEDAY I'LL POST NEW PIECES...REALLY<BR>

Within the past 9 months I finally completed<BR>
obligatory portraits of my boys Ajax and<BR>

Cool. I'll have to talk to Ajax about the slight when<BR>
he gets older. Now onto tackling that giant list of<BR>
ideas for new work...<BR>
