I can’t wait to share all of my new work as well as photos from my trip to Chicago. More updates soon!

I’ve been walking my doofus dog every chance I get when it’s not raining. It hasn’t been as bad as forecasted, but if you didn’t know Portland pisses down rain around the clock in the winter. Robbie finds a stick and carries it the whole time when we walk. Oral fixation I guess. Walking relaxes me, gets me out of my studio, and helps me think more objectively about my workday. Cooking and baking also keeps me sane. I kinda want to write a cookbook for rookies.

I finally scheduled out the next 10 weeks which are pretty full-on. I’ve got so much work to do and little margin for error. I like working like this though. I think I’m gonna go at half speed on the weekend so I don’t host bitchapalooza 2010 at my house. I’m excited about going to Chicago in April. The only time I went, it was so cold my snot froze in my mustache. Still one of the best times of my life (what a stupid thing to say, but seriously).

More updates soon. XOXO

I’ve mostly been hard at work getting ready for my next solo show in Chicago. I’m weirdly comfortable when I have a frenzy inducing amount of work. I guess I like having a reason not to sleep. I hate sleep and wish I didn’t need it. Roberto feels differently.

Multi-tasking is like way hard you guys.

I’m finishing the remainder of the outstanding orders, so thank you for your patience if you’re waiting on a package from Hello, Brute.

There’s a lot in the books for 2010, so be sure to keep checking in for surprises. You guys are the best! Take care.

xoxo,
Jon Knox

Chat soon.

XOX,

Hi folks, I’m still alive, and I made it to Portland ok. Moving is really exhausting, and I’m still not 100% unpacked. I’m getting there though. My studio is off the hook. I’m also setting up a garage workshop  for screen printing and casting to minimize lung corrosion. I have soooooo much to blog about but I dunno if I can be bothered just yet. So many cool things are in the works and I think it’s going to be a pretty full-on year. I promise not to get overworked and bitchy this time!

I just saw the spreads for a Hello, Brute feature in one of my favorite magazines and I am SOOOO (I hate the word stoked, but stoked). I won’t divulge the information juuuust yet, but I’ve been giddy since I found out about it.

Btw, I got this Jeffrey plush back from a show in NYC today. If anyone wants it, shoot me an e-mail. Nevermind, SOLD!

This took several days because there was a paint mixup and I had to start over more than halfway through. The walls were a hideous neutral beige color, so I had to paint them back to white (including a ceiling blargh). Nevertheless, here is a peek at my new studio. More pics once I’m all moved in!
