My right hand has hogged the artistic spotlight for too long so I’ve begun doodling as a lefty. The above drawing was accomplished with my lesser half.

Join Bevan “Lightborn” McShea and I at MilkBoy Coffee on 1/22 as we reinterpret 2001: A Space Odyssey via turntables, paint and easels. Stick around as Bevan “Starhaven” McShea releases his new record, Iron Light.

As a service to e-voyeurs everywhere, I’ve recently taken up the self-indulgent hobby of twittering. In addition to keeping strangers abreast of my geographical whereabouts and pseudointellectual musings, I intend to post guerrilla art alerts.
