303 to close in April

Not much in the way of art to report. We did get the news that we are moving out of the studio at the end of April. It has been a real good time being a part of the Local 303. There is already someone lined up to move in, so no need to try and contact me or the other guys to get the spot. There will be one more Open Studio party and I think it will be a blowout so keep an eye out for that. Thanks to everyone who came by over the years and I will let you know if there will be any future 303 activity. My work will still be available at Artist Xchange and from my Etsy store.

Me and fellow 303 artist Matt Delight started a blog and podcast. "Fat and Skinny Go to the Movies" will be our outlet for talking about movies. Both of us are die hard movie nuts and thought it could be a lot of fun, and we were right. The first episode is already up on the blog and on iTunes.

Fat and Skinny Go to the Movies

Cheers, Jason

Oh yeah. The auction I talked about in my last post is coming up, and there is some amazing work. There is a blog where you can check it and get more info on "Brownstones to Red Dirt".

This is a Painting I did for the "Brownstones to Red Dirt" art auction coming up in March 2010, I think. I did a second one I'll sell on my Etsy site or at Open Studios in Spring. "Brownstones to red dirt" is a pen pal program between kids from Brooklyn and Sierra Leone. There is a Documentary and a web site. Check it out at www.brownstonestoreddirt.com/

My t-shirt has a cameo on Craftzine.com

Thanks to Debbie for sending this my way. She was checking out her Craft magazine RSS feed and noticed the guy was wearing the t-shirt I made. Rad. Thanks Debbie.

I should mention it's an article about how to dress your baby in a real pumpkin. (?) Check it out.

One of three different tikis I carved myself, available for purchase at Open Studios this weekend. I also have new stickers and prints. Hopefully the highly anticipated "C is for Coloring" coloring book will be on sale too. Featuring 16 original Jason Dryg images left colorless so you can customize them to your personal taste. I've still got t-shirts, baby clothes, cards, buttons, and googly-eyed owl pins. There will also be some new prints available. If you can't make it, the Alternative Press Expo is next weekend, October 17- 18th. It will be held at the Concourse Expo Center, 620 7th street. As always, there is tons of great stuff there to look at and buy. We will be there hawking our stuff as well.
