Fever Fakers poster. This is an image that Anne Marie Manker, Steve Dixie, Joe Tsambiras, Cristina Vidal and I worked for our five person show at 5Art in Tampa Flarida opened April 24th


Majestic Hours is a collaborative project that Joe Tsambiras and I worked on in 2007 and 2008. We spent a year working on a series of drawing at the Majestic Diner in Atlanta Georgia.
Both of us worked on each drawing in the series of 75 finished works. We passed them back and forth a number of times over fried eggs and coffee, discussing the content of the drawings as well as outside sources of influence that filtered into the drawings. Our original intent was to borrow from Japanese ukiyo-e prints and underground comics, but we soon found that we were looking at everything from current political events and fine art sources like Pablo Picasso to 17th century etchings. 
Collaborations like Majestic Hours and the Fever Fakers poster have become integral to my art making practice. Collaboration connects me with a wider community of creative peoples and sets a precedent for others to work in creative groups. Each project is a learning and teaching  experience. I am currently collaborating with two other Atlanta artists, Dosa and Born, and look forward to future projects with other artists and creative thinkers.
