Baby it's Cold Outside

So the weather outside has me bundling up and got me to thinkin it might just be the right time to use your new Chritmas pennies to get a new warm hoodie for you or your freezing loved one. It is far more practical and animal friendly than killing a goat or rather a Tauntaun like Luke Sky Walker did and using its carcass for warmth, to get one of these charming, yes I said charming, new sweatshirts!

Pearl Thief Recap

So in no particular order, here are some pics from my recent show, "The Pearl Thief". Yes, most of the images I pirated from around the web, so thanks to those who were kind enough to cover the show (Gallery 1988, Daily Dujour, Arrested Motion, Hi Fructose). If you attended the opening reception and the photographers snagged a photo of you at the front door, you can view your photo at www.imscared.com. You can also check out the full exhibition here.
