Mike Kelley - Frankenstein
I actually sent a text to my friend and fellow Detroit lowbrow artist, Kill Taupe, as soon as I heard the news. Sad day in the art world. Mike Kelley was an amazing artist. I was just admiring his work at the Detroit Institute of Art the other week.

I’ll be a vendor at the Alumni and Student Art Sale on the campus of CCS on Noel Night, so if you are there enjoying the festivities I hope you’ll stop by and visit me and the bunnies ^_^
It is that time of year once again! Time for Midtown Detroit’s annual Noel Night!
I will once again be a vendor at the College for Creative Studies Alumni and Student Art Sale. This event is always one of my favorites of the year. If you are headed to DUCF, make sure to stop over at CCS’s campus for a visit. There is also a blacksmithing demonstration and live carolers.
Oh, and I’ll be doing a sale on original paintings for that night only.
