Zerofriends presents:
"SKETCH 4 SKETCH"
A Nationwide Quest To Exchange Inspiration For Inspiration

Starting on Friday, April 16 in Sacramento, Bay area artists Alex Pardee & Dave Correia, along with filmmaker Stephen Reedy, are venturing across the United States on a quest for some well–needed inspiration. Utilizing social networking software such as Twitter and uStream, and armed with only a camera, a sketch pad, and raffle tickets (with a HUGE prize—see EyeSuckInk.com for full details) to sell along the way for gas money, the crew of artists will be stopping in over 30 cities in random locations around the country, hoping to not only meet fans and friends, but to trade quick sketches (or ANY kind of art) for quick sketches in order to jostle their imagination and drench them in inspiration, and in hopes of mutually offering some inspiration of their own. Along their journey, some big surprises are going to occur, and we are sure some spontaneous fun will show up, too.

Here is a list of the cities we will be stopping in, but you need to follow us on Twitter or Facebook, or watch our uStream channel to find out where in town we’ll be! (Due to the nature of the tour, the schedule is subject to slightly change with no notice)

When She Comes to Life, February 17th, 2010
Anything Can Happen!

I was recently in a group show at the R&R Gallery called "Best Friends Forever". They gave each artist a mannequin and told us to go nuts on it. So I teamed up with Damon Alcorn and Marissa D. to create a mechanical looking sci-fi babe. You can read more about the entire process on my blog.

To go with the mannequin, I made a limited edition print that's now available for purchase in the store.

I just did a little interview over at Color Ink Book. They asked me a few questions and I drew their mascot "Rayola".

Also, I'm going to be at the Emerald City ComiCon in Seattle on March 13-14. I'll be hanging out at the Zerofriends booth (#607) the entire weekend.

This Place Looks DifferentJanuary 30th, 2010

Yeah! Finally a new site! It even has that new html smell... sniiiifffff... ahhh. So yea, thanks for stopping by, lemme show you around a bit.

I have a TON of new images in the gallery section. Mostly stuff from the past two years, mixed in with some of my older favorites. As you can see I've been doing more ink and watercolor pieces, as opposed to the digital stuff. There have been two significant contributing factors to this: First, my computer is getting old and slow, which makes it a pain in the ass to work with files over 300megs. Second, and more importantly, there is an aesthetic quality I just can't achieve digitally. I'm more in love with how my ink pieces are turning out right now than ever before.

Next, we have the store area. I just finished a new book which has a short story my friend Damon wrote. The story is a work of non-fiction and features our local public transportation system, BART. For those of you who are familiar with the SF Bay Area, I assume you're fully aware of the fucking travesty that is BART. Not so much the train itself, but the mutants and drones that make up the transit population. One afternoon, my friend wrote me an email of how horrible his morning daily commute on BART was. I must have read it a dozen times before I asked him if I could draw it sequentially for my new book. Its depressingly funny and was a blast to draw. Here are some sample images of the BART story along with a sample of his writing:

Also in the store section are a slew of new prints. As I've been doing more shows the past couple of years, more and more people have been asking me for prints. I've finally hooked up with a company (zerofriends) who can supply me with some nice, large, limited edition giclee prints. The quality on these are great, and I'm really excited to have them available. Here are three of my favorite prints that are now in the store:

In the about area you'll find a little info about me along with some personal photos I've taken with friends and family.

I also have a blog up. Lately, I've been doing some sculpture, and working on some larger 3 dimensional pieces. Along the way, I've been taking pictures and describing the process on my blog. If I've forgotten anything, or you'd like to see more (or less) of something, be sure to email me and let me know.
