i have been really lucky the last few days to have had the chance to interact with so many creative people. on sunday, rosena fung, nimit malavia and myself, (aka the zachary quinto trio) had a bit of a comic and drawing jam; you can see some of the comics over at rosena's flickr.

yesterday, martha chan, erika danusasmita and nimit all graced me with their presence and we collaborated on some paintings and small drawings that will be part of my installation at my solo show in february.

here are some images to whet your appetite, but more can be found here, on my flickr.

from this thursday to monday, i will be in new york for lebasse project's go east pop-up show.

i will staying in the lower east side, but also hoping to catch a lot of great shows that are up in chelsea.
gotta make sure to hit up a gray's papaya and kenka at st. mark's.

i wanted to promote this show real hard, but due to unforseen circumstances the paintings that i had completed for the show will not be there; if there is interest as to what those pieces are, you can see them here, (the first six pieces shown). in place of them, lebasse will have some older, but previously not-exhibited works of mine on display.

if you are in the new york area, please come out for the event and say hi. i will have a little surprise for you at the signing..



thanks.

you ever think,
what'd it be like to set sail in the middle of the night.
in a makeshift raft with only the light of fire.
