Thanks to everyone that came out to the Distant Winter show. I met some amazing artists, collectors, and all around cool folks. A huge thanks goes out to Garry for putting this together and everyone who helped out at the gallery and promoted the show. What’s left of my prints and paintings are available at the gallery website. Have a look, I’m extremely proud of the work that I created for the show.
This is for a book project called The Where, The What and The How: 75 Artists Illustrate the Wondrous Mysteries of the Universe that will be out next year sometime. I will post more details about it as it gets closer, but it looks like it’s going to be a good one.
I want Jon to build me a house out of icebergs.
I want to know why I haven’t been following Jon Klassen this entire time. *
NB Also, there’s one for the reading list.

As E. Jason Wambsgans took some of my favorite photographs of Chicago’s snowpocalypse, he thought of The Road and “a corny 1970s movie called Logan’s Run.”
"
The wild wolves of winter
swept through the streets last night. Hate glared
in their eyes like unexploded neon
the wind of their howling a thousand blood-curling moans
the teeth of their hunger endless fields of aching snow.
The wild wolves of winter
welcome nowhere, scratched at doors and windows,
ripped at roofs, tore at chimneys, kept us wide awake,
nervous in our warm, sleep-calling beds.
Then as suddenly
were gone, all was quiet. We turned a last time
in our beds and slept.
