New Loops

Sitting in a very croweded bombs away cafe watching Curtis Monette shred the life from his acoustic in an hour loop set that consisted of three songs was pretty amazing. I'm no where near that, but I do enjoy the loops and this weekend got a chance to record two looped jamps. Each song is 6 or 7 minutes long and one take.

Pistol River Creative

Wow, it's been 2 solid months so I wrote a thought down. I have been busy with the wedding, the honeymoon and then coming back to this crazy work life I have been dealing with. Corvallis on monday, tuesday and wednesday night then Portland the rest of the nights. Finally moved into the house enough to where the garage is nearly a fully functional studio for painting or workshop for the home renovation projects.

I have turned out two new paintings, one is going to be my first attempt at donating art for the tax write off. It's going to be auction style, so however much it sells for I can write off my taxes. Any guesses if it'll sell? Anyone reading...? :)

Also new on the art front: Hung new show at Get Bento. A few new peices are up, including my new favorite below. By the way, eat there. It's delicious. It's the spot if you like Bento.

So, the big development in the artistic travels of portland. In my desperate attempts to raise money for my season pass at meadows this year I got this deal that will adequately cover my pass, and some deposit for canvas. As well as an extra nice dinner out for the wifey at the beach. As a result of this gig I needed to set up a company. Pistol River Creative, LLC is now where I move forward. The wonderful wife that she is, Kim has got me set up. A present arrived yesterday, and she had custom made biz cards with the new Pistol River creative business name and contact. The cool part is that there are 6 different designs on the back and they are all different paintings and designs that are diversified to represent different aspects of my creative directions. Very cool.

As always stay tuned with new work at Simplistyk Studios page.
