I thought that title was better than putting "New Work" for the umpteenth time.

I've been hard at work in the studio recently. Here's a few detail shots of a piece that I'm tentatively calling "tete-a-tete two." More work will be added soon, including a new "birdsong" series.

Happy Valentine's Day

2009-02-12T21:40:00.000-08:00

I know it's a little early, but here's a shot of the Valentine's day card that I hand made for my lovely wife.

Thanks!

2009-01-08T22:17:00.001-08:00

Thanks to everyone who has stopped by the site recently. Thanks to everyone for the nice notes and interest about my work. Thanks to everyone who has bought a painting or print. Big Thanks to Ree for sending everyone to my site! I appreciate all of your support. More new work is being produced and will be up for sale soon, so check back often.

Welcome to my site!

2008-12-14T21:59:00.000-08:00

If this is your first time here, welcome to losergoes1st! You can read all about me, check out my artwork (there's a link to the right), or just take a look around at what I've been up to lately. My wife and I recently became first time parents so my work production has decreased a bit lately, but I'm still in the studio making art. You can contact me directly to purchase work or to inquire about commissions. I also have my last two prints and a few original paintings up on etsy. Thanks for dropping in and I hope that you enjoy the work.

E is for...

2008-12-04T21:09:00.001-08:00

E is for Elliot, the second cutest baby born this year. His parents are my dear friends, Matt and Betsy. His aunt is this chick. I was thinking of Elliot when I created the letter E page for the alphabet book (note: this piece is actually not quite finished, but it's close enough). Matt and I share an unhealthy obsession with the Eames Lounge Chair, so it was an obvious item to include in the picture. I guarantee the day I get the Lounge Chair my ass will be glued to it for a week straight! What will happen to our children if they grow up and don't appreciate mid-century modern furniture? I shudder to think of such a thought. Hopefully the little guy will like this piece of art inspired by him (you'll get it for your nursery soon, Elliot, I only have 21 more letters to go!)

S is for...

2008-11-19T20:39:00.000-08:00

Detail for the letter S in my alphabet book. Don't ask why I skipped from the letter C to the letter S, this started out as a sketch of some kicks and will probably end up in the alphabet book.

The Letters B and C

2008-11-19T20:34:00.000-08:00

Here's a few details from the letters B and C from the alphabet book that I'm trying to get together for my son. Slow going, but I'm doing what I can whenever I can.

Solid Gold Hubcaps Cloth

2008-10-29T20:15:00.000-07:00

My friend, Jeff, recently released a super fresh line of t-shirts under the name Solid Gold Hubcaps. The t-shirt designs are dope as hell. They're simple and clean, just like they should be. Check em out for yourself and buy a few so that you can look as cool as I think that I do.

Loverlee album cover

2008-10-11T20:53:00.000-07:00

My one and only album cover design. My friend, Justin, asked me to do this for his band, Loverlee. You can check them out on myspace and itunes.

A is for...

2008-10-05T22:29:00.000-07:00

Finished the first letter of my alphabet art for my son's alphabet book. At this rate my son will be in college by the time I'm finished with all of the artwork! So in order to speed up the process I've decided that I will need to make them in a different manner (i.e. not on canvas). So I'll be working out the details and getting started on the letter B this week. As usual, I'll keep you updated.

New Print! "Flite#1"

2008-09-25T18:05:00.000-07:00

I am proud to announce my latest print release, "Flite #1." I would characterize this print as a "retro" print because it is from an original work that I created almost 15 years ago. I've always really liked the piece and decided recently that I would like to share it with my friends and collectors. This piece marks the first appearance of bird imagery in my work. Those of you who are familiar with my recent work know that bird imagery plays an integral part in most of the pieces. While not necessarily explaining the meaning of the bird imagery this print will give you a better idea of previous influences on my current body of work.

As usual, the print is a Giclee print on museum quality archival paper. It is a standard size, 16" x 20", signed and numbered in an edition of 50.

The quality and detail of the print is amazing and I am very happy with the print. In keeping with my philosophy of making great art affordable and readily available to everyone I am offering the print for $50.00 with a $5.00 shipping fee. Contact me at
losergoes1st[at]gmail[dot]com for ordering info.

Thank you so much for all of your support, I truly appreciate it!

*UPDATE* After 2 printing attempts, I am sorry to report that the final size for the print will NOT be 16" x 20". The print will be a non-standard size of 16" x 21". I apologize for the mix up. If you live in the L.A. area I can hook you up with a great deal on custom framing, just contact me and I'll give you all the info you need.

More New Work

2008-09-11T17:34:00.000-07:00

This is the last piece of the triptych. It actually goes in the middle of the 3 pieces. I will take a photo and post the complete piece tomorrow.

2008-09-10T18:26:00.001-07:00

The second piece in a 3 piece series.

New Work

2008-09-09T22:30:00.001-07:00

Here's a shot of a new piece that's almost finished. It's one of a series of three. More info soon when I finish the other two pieces. Also, I will be releasing a new print in a few weeks! The new print is a *retro* piece; more on what the hell that means when I release it.

Nursery Wall of Art

2008-08-07T20:39:00.001-07:00

Mr. A loves art (at least I like to think that he does). So I hung up a few pieces of art that I had stashed in my studio. A few original Michael Sieben drawings, a Evan Hecox print that came in the last issue of Arkitip, a Jeff Soto print, and a few other pieces. Right now the nursery is probably my favorite room in the house!

3 Months Old!

2008-07-28T19:11:00.000-07:00

Mr. A. is getting bigger and bigger every day! I have decided that one of my next projects is going to be making him an ABC book. I am going to do all original artwork for the pages and hopefully turn it into a poster as well. I'm planning on starting the project in August and don't have a clue as to when it will be completed (hopefully before he starts to learn his ABC's). I'm also planning on releasing a mini print this November. My last print was really big and I think that had something to do with the fact that no one bought one! So the new print is going to be around 6" x 6" with a little bit of a border. It will be in the same style/concept as the previous 2 prints. I'll keep you posted about the progress. Apologies again for the lack of updates on the blog, I will be back to work soon and the postings will resume. Thanks for checking in.

"Uncle Tom + Aunt Anna" visited last nite and brought several very cool gifts. They are in first place in the trying to spoil the baby race. I'm not sure if you can read it, but the pink onesie says "Don't touch my head, pervert."

Studio Visit Magazine

2008-04-30T22:12:00.000-07:00

I have a two page spread of some of my artwork in the latest issue of Studio Visit Magazine. I'm not sure when or where you can buy it, but it sure does look cool.

Nursery Mural is Finished!

2008-04-05T17:48:00.000-07:00

It took a while longer than I expected, but I think that the completed mural looks fantastic. There's a lot going on, but I think that it will hopefully spark the little guys imagination when he gets older. Again, big thanks to Tom for helping me with the design. The other night we were kicking around the idea of producing a children's book based off of the mural design, stay tuned to how that goes.

Nursery Mural

2008-03-11T21:01:00.000-07:00

I've always hated murals. However, now that I'm painting one in my son's nursery that is going to kick ass I guess I can't say that I hate murals anymore. Here's a few preview pictures. Yeah, I know, the photos are sideways. Deal with it, they're artsy.

Sketchbook #1

2008-03-09T21:36:00.000-07:00

I was reflecting on the work that I did for the Igloo Show (still up at Black Maria Gallery until March 22nd) and noticed that I had been putting pieces of jewelry hanging from tree branches into several of the paintings. I'm not quite sure why I did that, or what the imagery means, but I decided to do some further exploration of the jewelry theme in my sketchbook for a week. Each day I did a sketch that had to include jewelry somehow. Here's the first one, with more to come each day (hopefully), and a different theme each week.

The Igloo Art Show!

2008-02-24T20:56:00.000-08:00

Everything went well at the Igloo Tornado opening last nite. Thanks to everyone who braved the rain and came to our show, drank our beer, and bought our work! The show will be up for another month, so if you weren't able to make it to the opening you still have time to check it out. There are more photos over on the Igloo Tornado web site

More New Work

2008-02-19T16:40:00.001-08:00

New piece. Currently untitled. For show and sale at the Black Maria Gallery this Saturday, the 23rd.

New Work Update

2008-02-15T17:23:00.000-08:00

I've added a few new small paintings from a series of 9 over in the artwork section of the site. These will be on display at the Igloo Tornado art show which will open on Saturday the 23rd and run through the middle of March at the Black Maria Gallery in Atwater Village.

New Print!

2008-01-24T17:33:00.000-08:00

I am extremely excited to announce the release of my latest print. It is a Giclee print on archival museum quality paper, signed and numbered in a limited edition of 50. Print size is 23" x 30" (Image size is 20" x 27"). The price is $125.00. The original painting is also available, framed, for $1,500.00. The size of the original is 36" x 48". Please contact me if you have any questions or for ordering information: losergoes1st@gmail.com.

New Work

2008-01-17T18:03:00.000-08:00

I've got a few new pieces up for sale in the artwork section. I call them subversive wallpaper pieces because they look harmless and decorative from a distance, but when you look at them closely there are some odd things going on. They will be in the Igloo Tornado show in February.

Here We Go Again...

2007-12-28T19:06:00.000-08:00

This is the postcard that Tom designed for our show in February. People always ask (ok, 3 people have asked) "What is the Igloo Tornado?" I think that this image answers that question loud and clear. Or maybe it doesn't, all I know is that it kicks ass! Centaurs and rainbows, who could ask for more? Our gay dungeons and dragons fans will be very pleased.

Happy New Year!

2007-12-27T11:40:00.000-08:00

I hope that everyone has a Happy New Year. I am looking forward to an exciting 2008. The Igloo Tornado show will be in February and I will be releasing my second print to coincide with the show! More info to come. Now get back to what you were supposed to be doing.

Shane Brown

2007-12-12T16:52:00.000-08:00

My friend, Shane, has just unveiled his new web site shanebrownok full of the incredible photos he has taken over the past few years. I was never that fond of photography when I was in art school, but that's probably because I never knew any photographers that were anywhere near as good as Shane is. Check out his site for an up close and personal look at my home state (Oklahoma) and life on the great Midwestern plains.

My friend Tom is in an Anti-War art show at the Corey Helford Gallery in Culver City that will open next Tuesday.

New Work...

2007-11-25T20:23:00.001-08:00

A peek at a work in progress. It's pretty intricate, with hundreds of individually cut pieces flowing from the mouth of the bird. It's also much larger than I normally work, about 2'x 3'. It will be in the 2nd Igloo Tornado show at the Black Maria Gallery in February.

It's A Boy!

2007-11-18T17:38:00.000-08:00

Coming soon, the latest addition to the Nobles family. His mother already wants him to be a lawyer (go figure); at the very least he will have cool shoes!

Murakami

2007-11-12T21:12:00.000-08:00

If you live in the Los Angeles area, you must check out the show of the year. Truly an over the top visual experience. I was a few dollars short of being able to buy one of these, but watching the never ending line of people who did have the $$ to buy a bag was nothing short of fascinating. No matter how you feel about Murakami designing bags for LV or MOCA having an actual LV store within the museum this was a powerful "piece" that only enhanced my experience of the show.

New Work Update

2007-10-09T16:56:00.000-07:00

Here's a detail from a new piece. More updates soon.

My Kid Could Paint That

I'm really looking forward to seeing this documentary.

Self Indulgent Werewolf

2007-09-06T21:54:00.000-07:00

The biggest and best show of the season: Tom Neely's first solo show at the BlackMaria Gallery will open on Saturday the 15th, from 7:00-11:00. Tom has created a soundtrack to accompany the show, as well as the most amazing sculpture you will ever lay your eyes on (it can be yours for 10K!). The gallery has been painted almost entirely black and there will be a black metal DJ providing "tunes" for the show. When you come to the show see if you can count exactly how many penises there are on display. This is truly going to be an incredible event, I know how much work Tom has put into this show and it makes my head spin. If you live in L.A. you really should check it out. If you don't live in L.A. the Black Maria gallery website has all of the pieces on it including some really good photos of the sculpture.

New Work In Progress

2007-09-06T21:46:00.000-07:00

Some pictures from the studio; these new works in progress are for the February Igloo Tornado show at the Black Maria Gallery.

My Kid Could Do That...

2007-08-13T17:14:00.001-07:00

I've always thought that the most ignorant thing someone could say about art was: "My kid could do that."

ComicCon

2007-07-30T21:39:00.000-07:00

Thanks to everyone who stopped by the Igloo Tornado booth at this years ComicCon. The big hit was the Hall & Oates t-shirt (and Tom's new graphic novel, of course). I sold a few things and had a good time taking in the craziness that is ComicCon. I still have my LoserGoes1st x LaceLockLosers t-shirt available (sorry, no small sizes left), as well as some art zines. E-mail me if you are interested in purchasing a t-shirt or zine. There are less than 20 "Tete-a-tete" prints left and they are now available through my gallery, Blackmaria, or by e-mailing me, for $100.00.

New Print is here!

2007-06-27T11:06:00.000-07:00

You are gazing at "tete-a-tete" my amazing new Giclee print that arrived yesterday. It is signed and numbered in a limited edition of 50. For a short time I am offering it for $50.00 each, but that price will go up once I hand it over to my gallery at the end of July. It is printed on archival museum quality paper, and the size of the print is 25"x10.75". Feel free to e-mail me with any questions or comments or to place an order: losergoes1st@gmail.com

The Blot

2007-06-21T09:10:00.000-07:00

My friend and fellow Igloo Tornado brother, Tom, has just released his first graphic novel, The Blot. I know that I'm probably a little biased, but this thing is INCREDIBLE. I would love this book in general without knowing anything about Tom, but knowing what he went through to get this produced is amazing. You can and should order one right now on his website iwilldestroyyou

How to build an Igloo

2007-06-14T09:32:00.000-07:00

This is in the front yard of a small business in Silverlake that is nestled between apartment buildings. The guys that own the place always have cool installations out front. The latest is an igloo built out of material that can be woven together. It looks more like a tepee than an igloo because of the wooden poles used to frame it, but it's still pretty impressive. Perhaps they would be interested in building some smaller ones for the Igloo Tornado show in February?

Love is...?

2007-06-07T10:29:00.000-07:00

I'm a creature of habit. I read the LA Times every day. I know that my wife would say that the word read should be in quotations because I actually only look at the front pages of the world and local news sections (the "real" news she says). Anyway, I do read the sports page (Page 2, TJ Simers is a must read), and the Calendar section where the crossword puzzle is (I can only complete Monday through Wednesday before I have to cheat with the internet). I save the Classifieds for last because the word Jumble puzzle is in there along side the most confusing comic of all time: Love is...
Let me start by saying that I LOATHE this comic, it mocks me daily as I work my word Jumble. The characters in it don't ever seem to have any clothes on, and they do some really weird stuff whilst naked. The whole thing is one big trite, overly sentimental piece of garbage. Yet I can't stop myself from looking at it. Perhaps because for the longest time I thought I knew what Love was; or maybe I'm just a glutton for punishment. Who knows.
Let's take this example above, exactly what is going on here? It looks like the "man" is trying to hump the "woman's" armpit. This is Love? I never knew.

This blog is about "contemporary art that examines the role of Dungeons & Dragons, Escapism, and Fantasy in contemporary art and culture". I'm pretty sure fellow Igloo Brother Levon would be very interested.

New Print

2007-05-10T09:06:00.000-07:00

This should give you a rough idea of what my new print will look like. The 3 panels are connected, the bird is on the first panel on the left, then the middle panel with the branches, then the face on the right. I'm not sure what the title is going to be, or how limited the edition will be, but i'm guessing i will print at least 12 of them. signed and numbered, of course.

Edison Bar

2007-02-02T22:45:00.000-08:00

just wanted to be on top of the game and tell everyone to make sure and check out the Edison bar downtown. It's on 2nd street before you hit Main Street, down an alley behind the Pitfire pizza joint. The place is absolutely incredible. It's a huge old boiler room converted into a fancy bar. Words can't do it justice, just check it out for yourself.
*Note* I wrote the above post before the Edison bar officially opened. Everything I have heard about the bar since it has opened has been terrible. Dress codes, velvet ropes, needing a "reservation" to get into a bar!?, expensive drinks, etc... all add up to a really cool looking bar for people that i do not want to be drinking with. You'll find me a few streets over at the Bar 107 (right next door to the best shoe store in LA, Blends) drinking a 24oz Pabst, or perhaps a can of Schlitz.

i'm hoping to turn these sketches into a little zine soon...

Igloo Book

2007-01-10T09:37:00.000-08:00

The Igloo Tornado book will consist of 4 separate books (one for each member). Each will be 64 pages long, soft cover, perfect binding, matte paper. The sleeve that will hold them together will have our family portrait on the back and the Quadra-Penquin Icon on the front. They are basically fancy catalogs to showcase how awesome we are. They should be available for distribution by July.

My Obituary

2006-12-19T09:45:00.000-08:00

My friend, Adam, writes for the Onion. Sometimes he inserts the names of people he knows in his pieces. Adam is so funny that I don't even try to be funny when we hang out. I just keep reminding myself that I can draw better than him.

A few things...

2006-12-12T15:33:00.000-08:00

1. Just got back from dropping off my artwork for the show that opens on Saturday. The gallery is pretty impressive and the work looked good. I'm excited that I'm going to be a part of a show that Anne Philbin juried (she is in the latest LA Magazine as one of the most infuential people on the LA art scene).

2. Stopped by the new shoe store Flight Club on Fairfax. Holy shit. If there is a heaven for sneaker freaks, this is it. Everything is wrapped in plastic, and there are hundreds of shoes to choose from (probably 75% Nikes). It's a consignment store, so if you miss out on a shoe chances are you can find it here (marked way the fuck up, but what are you going to do?)

3. Saw an amazing show at the Harmony Gallery (Site of the Survival show) that had Kathleen Lolley Kathleenlolley.com and Andy Kehoe AndyKehoe.com in it. Picked up a few prints from Kathleen that are going to look swell on the bedroom walls.harmony gallery
