 07.02.2008 - "Carnivora" Review

"Instigator Magazine" has just come out with their latest edition which includes a review of the book "Carnivora".

"Carnivora beckons you like the call of a '57 Thunderbird...powerfully seductive, and one hell of a sweet ride."



Although it?s mostly directed toward guys into fetish, Instigator has proved to be ONE forward-thinking, twist `n shake for ANYONE confident enough in their sexuality (str8 dudes, dykes, gurlie girls, and the bi-curious alike) to know that the QUEER BOYS have it DOWN when it comes sex and all that encompasses sweaty, back-alley behavior.  Definitely a MUST read!?

The books will be "Carnivora" and Device Volume 1, "Fantastic Contraption"

 07.31.2006 - Thank you my Minions!

Although I am trying to thank everyone individually, I want to thank all of you who took the time and effort to post, re-post, call, e-mail or otherwise generally proclaim your displeasure with the fact that Echo Gallery was not returning my calls.  I received a call first thing today and will have my work on Thursday.  They have apologized profusely and there is no bad blood between us.  Please refrain from any further contact to the gallery or take down any post related to this situation.  If you would like to make a nice professional follow-up send a thank you for me but absolutely not necessary.  You all have done so much already.

This, my minion, shows you the power of collective caring!

Thank you.

 07.28.2006 - STOLEN ARTWORK!!!

To All My Fans,

I have been trying to retrieve two works of mine from the ECHO Gallery in Chicago for over 6 months. They have chosen to ignore repeated calls and e-mails. Basically, they have two works that they have in their inventory or worst, have SOLD and not paid me for. So, before I go through the expense and trouble of lawyers, I thought I would reach out to you to assist me in raising hell about the situation. Their contact info is:

Veronika@EchoGallery.org

Derek@EchoGallery.org

Ken@EchoGallery.org

Mat@EchoGallery.org

Steve@EchoGallery.org

Sales@EchoGallery.org

Info@EchoGallery.org

Submissions@EchoGallery.org

Webmaster@EchoGallery.org

and their phone number is 312-666-0858.

If you could take a moment to express your displeasure with them for sealing my work, I would be very appreciative. Otherwise it will cost me dearly to sic my lawyers on them.

Thank you all in advance.
