This goofy punk folk band from Eugene puts on a hell of a party. The addition of cello and accordion are appreciated. They busk and play in parties and local bars. Can you tell this is three pieces of paper? He he he

Piano men at the Wayward lamb
There was a fun piano pop show in downtown Eugene with two talented pianists.
Vendana Shiva
Vendana Shiva is a controversial figure. Her stance against GMOs has received a lot of criticism but I appreciated some of the things she said, such that we could boycott Coke a Cola to send a message! The corporations are merging, giving us fewer targets to oppose! Her scarf looked totally cool and was a fun challenge to draw.
Fruit Prints at Mecca
Here is a fun project you can do at home with kids: printing with fruit.
We painted with tempura and watercolor paints on to a piece of cut fruit, we used strawberries, bananas, oranges, star fruit, a lime and an onion. We found that limes and starfruits worked the best.
Makes cool wrapping paper
You can even make a landscape, as one enterprising young student did.
Human Ottoman
This band has a new Cellist! Julian Kosanovic, who also plays in Portland Cello Project! I played with them at the Eugene Cider Festival and they are playing November 17 at the Doug Fir with Three for Silver!
I made some kaleidoscopes out of my drawing. They look so trippy and cool! 
Tango alpha tango and Pancho + the Factory
A hot mess of a band in every possible way. The Elvis like vocals, sexually charged lyrics and full lush sound (with three back up singers) make this a genuine and passionate party band.
This drawing is less cartoony and in the “rotoscope” style. With moody lighting!
This is one of the greatest living garage rock bands. Their heavy bluesy rock hits the spot every time. Listen here. Nathan trueb and co bring it every time.
Halloween tea
I drew portraits at the Sheldon mc Murphy house for halloweeen tea.
Sallie Ford
Whoops. I drew this a year ago and never posted it. Great band. Saw them in Austin, tx once, and once in Eugene playing with Tacocat. check her out here.
Betty and the Babes
What a delight to catch Bettreena Jaeger’s band: they released recordings as “Betty and the Boy” but the other night at Old Nick’s it was Betty and the Babes.
Her voice sometimes could remind someone of Joanna Newsome and Beth Gibbons. There are beautiful arrangements of the strings played by Michelle and Nanci. Wearing costumes as ghouls made it especially fun for me to draw. I was entranced by the music and delighted by the “Nightmare Before Christmas” cover, “Sally’s Song.” Cool Inks, and fun to use grey as a color.

As a fun bonus, I was playing with an app that lets me make kaleidoscopes out of my drawings 🙂
Trek theatre Pon Farr
Local Trekkies put on an original series episode “Amok Time” with original songs by Dr. Jason Heald. These are drawings I made of the cast and crew.
They let me open the show, performing my Star Trek rap and playing the theremin for the audience. They also had local bell dancer sarina Dorie as an Orion slave girl!
And here are some photos of the production. It really was a great show!
