Stay Up - BOOK RELEASE

Thanks to everyone who came out to the Stay Up book release at War'Hous Galleries on Friday night. Its great to see so much support from the community for artists who risk so much to express an idea. The book is described as:

"A collection of photographs of some of the best artists in Houston, Texas who put their art on display in the streets. Includes the works of: give up, DUAL, 2:12, Cutthroat, Ack!, Weah, Shreddi, Eyesore and Coolidge."

The book is now available in soft and hardcover at: http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/1609307


Thanks also to David Elizondo for putting together a great group of artists and helping to expose what we do to the silent majority.

Risk Aversion

So I read on the interwebs that a significent percent of married couples would leave their marriages before their career? Not sure how true that really is, but I thought there was an interesting dichotomy in the risks we take in person life and what we're willing to risk for career. Then I realized it applied even more broadly to the financial crisis, political empowerment, voting ballots, etc. I felt all cool and witty with my concept when I sat down with my marker and realized.........I didn't know how to spell aversion. Thanks wikipedia.
