It was Cinco de Mayo Pillow case on his head No more breathing time An ambulance sped It sped round every corner Calling out his name
Shot a rabbit from the back seat window Sat and watched in the summer corn row Ate icecream in a desert dream Got love in father seeing you Too hot inside to hot outside Lazy days when you said just go for a ride We'll sail on Spirit Lake, Me, my pappy, and his lemonade
Tim and tina were my parents' names They got engaged they were inflamed Seduced by the lie of butterflies How they shimmer, how they glimmer Those butterflies
We seven kids, we almost died Nearly put to death But lightning strike Instead there was hot pink Flashes in the sky We climb the rocks in snowing rain In search of magic power
To heal our mother's pain
Shot a rabbit from the back seat window Sat and watched in the summer corn row Ate icecream in a desert dream Got love in father seeing you Too hot inside to hot outside Lazy days when you said just go for a ride We'll sail on Spirit Lake, Me, my pappy, and his lemonade
Theres not much I can say about this women except that she is a beast that howls her sweet haunting lullabies into your ear while you sleep. Her new Ep Stridulum just came out and it is great! Listen to "I Cant Stand". Its fills my heart with joy during these gloomy times.

Pam Taylor over at Present Magazine recently baught this series from me. The series is called "Us and Now". She has written a lovely article about the pieces. Pam is sweet, loving supporter of my work. Please check out the website, it would mean a lot to both me and Pam.
So I took a trip to St. Louis (apparently the murder capital of the country) for my first show out of KC. The show was called "Naughty Gras", an erotica based art show. I had a blast while I was out there...but enough chatter here are some pics.....
Probably the sickest shit I've seen in a very long time... someone has put me to shame.
Watercolor vag... put that shit in a coffee shop.
I enjoy watching people look at my work. Like someone once said..."its like watching yourself masturbate"

Robert Tapley Bustamante, probably one of the coolest artist in the midwest and a good friend. Check him out: http://www.visualsoul.com/
Betsy Barrett Hails

I took this pic at some crazy hick ass gas station...
It was a crazy good show, a shit ton of people and hey I even saw my first burlesque show! I hope you enjoyed the pics.
So I recently designed some headers for presentmagazine.com and it was a delight to be able to create somthing for Pam and Pete who run Present Magazine. They are both super sweet and super supportave of me and other local Kansas City artist. I'd recomend checking them out. Pam also wrote this lovely article about me, shes a doll. You can read it here.
(heres a little peek)
Its also a little bizzare to see my work on a website... Im still waiting to wake up. Haha! Thers is a unique illustration that goes with every header for each section of the site. Well enough of my chatter go check them out.
