I recently did a cartoon portrait for Austin, TX-based burlesque superstar Coco Lectric, who I met last month at the Burlesque Hall of Fame weekend in Las Vegas. She's performing in New Orleans on July 19 & 20 at the House of Blues with none other than Dita Von Teese and NOLA's own Perle Noire!

I will be donating at least two paintings to the Hell's Belles Car Club Pinewood Derby and Silent Art Auction at White Walls Gallery in San Francisco this September -- more on that later.

There's a load of other projects in the works too -- I'm batting around ideas with a number of folks in the burlesque scene about stuff like live acts, new cartoon series, animation, contests, and who knows what else.

And while I'm working on all this, make sure you come see me down at Oshkosh Tattoo & Good Girl Piercing for some new ink! Check out our all-new website and our new t-shirts, available this week! Call us at 920-230-6611 to make an appointment, or stop in and talk to me about your ideas!

BHOF2010; new art; Live Nude Art! available online
06.10.10
The Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekend has come and gone, and it was another fantastic series of shows and events in Las Vegas! Krushervision spent the weekend in the vendor area seeing old friends and meeting new ones while selling prints, sketchbooks, and pins. We also were in attendance at the ribbon-cutting (actually, the boa-cutting!) for the new Burlesque Hall of Fame Museum on Fremont Street! Congratulations to the BHOF and everyone involved! It was awesome seeing everybody again and we'll be back next year!

One new art piece uploaded: Me-YOW!, the painting of the sketch featured in the video below.

Finally, my Live Nude Art! sketchbook is finally available to order online from the Krushervision Books storefront at Lulu.com! Go get yourself a copy or two now!

New art
05.17.10
New/recent pieces Tell A Friend! (used on my tattoo referral cards) and an untitled "striped corset" pinup have been added to the Art section.

Also, sorry about the size of the video below -- I can't seem to resize it and it won't fit into my frame here. hmm...is it time for a new Krushervision.com?

Krushervision Sketch Video Vol.1: Me-YOW!

Been wanting to do some of these for a while now, so here's my first shot at it. Lighting and quality need to be better, and apologies for the paint splatter on my finger.

Dirty Show 11, BPM 11, BHOF 2010
03.08.10
Dang, lots of time slipped by and I haven't been keeping you up-to-the-minute on Krushervision news! This is mostly due to the fact that we bought a house at the end of last October, so our lives have been total chaos for four months. And the busy season has hit us at Oshkosh Tattoo so I've been booked to the gills, which is fantastic! Also in that time, I exhibited Gartersnap at Dirty Show 11 in Detroit, so that was awesome -- I'm very honored to have participated in the Dirty Show three times now.

What else?

Bachelor Pad Magazine #11 is out NOW! Angela Ryan graces this month's cover and centerfold, and there's the reliable bounty of booze, babes, and burly-Q packed within, including my latest cartoon, of course! Please order yourself a copy -- better yet, a subscription, and a bunch of back issues, as well!

The Boston Burlesque Expo is happening April 2-4 in Cambridge, MA, and although I have regretfully bowed out of attending, Tailfeather Trapeze is still being used as the main promotional imagery for the festival, so I will be there in spirit!

The Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekend has finally been announced for June 3-6, 2010 at The Plaza in Las Vegas. Krushervision will once again be a part of the Burlesque Bazaar, selling prints, sketchbooks, and what-have-you. I'm looking forward to seeing all the new friends I made last year again, and meeting lots more, so make sure you stop by and say hey!

Finally, those $1 markups at the Krush-O-Mart are pretty much permanent, as you may have noticed since my so-called "Cyber Monday" sale still seems to be going on. Snatch up some t-shirts and stuff while you still can!

Once my new home studio is put together and functional, I'll be getting back to work on new art and projects. To anyone who may be waiting for work from me, I apologize for being out of commission for so long and I really appreciate your patience. Krushervision is on the way back to being productive and will be better than ever before too long! Keep in touch!

Kristmas SALE at the Krush-O-Mart!!
12.04.09
It's true, EVERYTHING is on sale over at the KRUSH-O-MART! All items have been reduced to only a $1 markup over cost -- this is as cheap as I can price 'em! Pick up some of those earlier pinup t-shirts, monster swag, and videogamer gear before I retire it to make way for a NEW line of stuff! Now through Kristmas at the KRUSH-O-MART!

New Art and Tattoos; updates
10.23.09
Two recent paintings, Teeth and SUPER LET'S GO ROBO FUN!!, have been added to the Art section, and six more Tattoos are up as well.

A few updates...I'm still working on Krushervision Direct and it's okay but it needs to be better...I have made the unfortunate decision that I won't be able to participate in the Boston Burlesque Expo next year...You may have seen Delilah decorating posters and ads for Michelle L'amour's Lipshtick! comedy/burlesque show -- I'm very proud of that and am working on more projects for her...Extreme Competitions, featuring footage from this year's Burlesque Hall of Fame weekend, is now airing on Travel Channel -- check the schedule on their site for times...aren't you due for a new tattoo? Come see me at Oshkosh Tattoo, 149 High Ave, Oshkosh WI...

BHOF09; Krushervision Direct coming!
06.18.09
Well, the Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekend was two weekends ago already, but I'm just now getting back into the swing of things since we got home on Friday from our incredible cross-country sight-seeing drive. So how'd it go?

We had a BLAST! The Krushervision booth and my work got an overwhelming reaction and sales of my new book, pins, and prints were fair. But the best part was that I met a TON of great people who were interested in working with me or asked about commissions, and that was super cool, and we made lots of new friends. The K-vision booth was right next to Bachelor Pad Magazine, so I got to hang out with Java for much of the event. I did the Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School thing on Saturday, which was a lot of fun and I will definitely be checking out the Madison branch sometime soon. The shows every night were unbelievable -- by far the best collection of all-star burlesque you could ever see!

Other high points:
- The Boston Burlesque Festival, over Easter weekend 2010, will be using my art for their main promotional imagery next year, and Krushervision will be there.

- The Travel Channel was there shooting footage for an upcoming special called "Extreme Competitions," and filmed in the vendor room, including the Krushervision booth, over my shoulder as I was sketching a pinup girl, and shot a number of interviews right in front of my booth. I'm sure not much of this footage will show up on the final program, but keep an eye out for it!

- EL-VEZ!!!

Anyway, mega thanks and hello and stuff to the people we met, who bought my stuff or just chatted with us, hung out with us, and made it all happen...the one and only Java of course, Roxi D'lite, La Divina and James, Wild Card Kitty, Betty Sioux Tailor, Kira von Sutra, Michelle L'amour and Franky Vivid, Diamond Minx, Satan's Angel, Immodesty Blaize, Mig, Chris Beyond, Nicollette Daly, Tanya Cheex, Scooter Harris, Red Snapper, Vanessa and Melissa from Retro Diva, the dude who plays Ringo in the Beatles show but I forgot his name, and about a bajillion more. Thanks to the BHOF for making us all a part of this event, and we will definitely be back next year!

And in further developments, I have finally gotten things set up for some online ordering of products directly from Krushervision. This will include all the limited-edition t-shirts, new pins, signed copies of the Live Nude Art! sketchbook (standard copies will be available soon from other online outlets), tattoo flash, and of course, art prints and original art. I'm working on a new shopping page for all this, which will be called -- duh -- Krushervision Direct! Keep your eyes peeled for it here, especially those of you who wanted to buy prints at BHOF but didn't know how to get them into your luggage without crushing them (next year I'll remember to bring cardboard backers).

Krushervision at BHOF Weekend in Vegas with NEW swag!
05.22.09
WE CAN'T WAIT!! Krushervision will have a booth at the Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekend June 4-7 at the Orleans Hotel in Las Vegas! We'll be there with some original art and a gang of new stuff for sale: NEW signed art prints, new 1" pins, and we'll be debuting the first release from Krushervision Books! I may even be doing some original art AT the show, and I'm thinking about offering custom pinup sketches if you ask me real nice!

Anyway, about that book: it's entitled Live Nude Art!, and it's a 64-page, 6x9, b/w interior, glossy color cover, perfect-bound collection of pinup sketches done over the last few years. In it, you'll find preliminary sketches for many of the drawings and paintings you've already seen, as well as TONS of stuff I promise you've never seen before. I'm super proud of it and after its debut at BHOF weekend, I'll be making it available online!

So if you're going to BHOF Weekend, make sure to stop by the Krushervision booth and say hello (I think we'll be right next to Bachelor Pad Magazine, in fact!), check out the new stuff, and swipe some free stickers!

Speaking of Bachelor Pad Magazine, I'm working with Java on a special limited-edition gift for those who subscribe to BPM at the show!

See you in Vegas!!

More BLACK t-shirts at the Krush-O-Mart; new prints a-comin'
03.09.09
I finally got a chance to add most of the Monster t-shirts in BLACK and other dark colors to the Krush-O-Mart! Now available in black and dark, in both men's and women's regular and fitted styles:

Mr. & Mrs. F • Gills • Mummy • The Count • Fire Bad! (looks particularly cool on Charcoal Grey and Military Green!) • Bad Dog! (also now available on a Dog Tee...don't know why that one hadn't occurred to me before) • It's Not Easy Being Green • I Never Drink...Wine (check it out on Cardinal or Red) • Cursed • People Costume (probably my personal favorite piece of digital art)

And don't forget, many of the Pinup Girl t-shirts had been added in black and color versions as well a couple months ago -- I've now added the fitted styles too!

ALL black/dark tees are $25.Check 'em all out at the Krush-O-Mart!

In print news, I have finally started to produce my own affordable, high-quality prints of certain pieces. These will hopefully be available soon, once I get a shopping cart system set up right here on the site for direct-order stuff from me (this should include certain limited-edition t-shirts, tattoo flash, and prints).
