Dante and I are READY TO ROCK! We are collaborating on painting an 8' guitar for Downtown Joliet's 2023 Interactive Street Art Exhibit "Ready to Rock!" Keep your eyes 👀 on my page and stories for updates and info about the unveiling event. Thanks to our sponsor, Mayor Terry D'Arcy of @darcybuickgmc , the Joliet City Center Partnership, Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce & Industry, and the City of Joliet for the opportunity. #readytorock #downtownjoliet #publicart #blankcanvas #giantguitars #musicart #communityart #rockandrollbaby

During the holidays I reunited with a longtime friend and collaborator. We went back to our analog roots and created some stellar new work! Nothing compares to art-pals who have stood by each other for decades. Thanks, Flames. #keepcreating #40andfabulous #analogphoto #filmgrain #redheadportrait #toocoolforschool #accessoriesmaketheoutfit

RIP Pat Briggs 💔 Thanks for being an inspiration to this 90s teenage goth wild child! This video is from a June 2010 Psychotica show at @reggieslive in Chicago. It is still one of the best vocal performances I have seen to this day. #psychotica #patbriggs #glamrock #glitterdome

It was awesome to be back in the @wgnmorningnews studio on 12/20/22 for our annual holiday song! Thanks so much to Jeff Hoover for making it happen and to @noahginexpuppetco for bringing this talented bunch together. #puppeteer #puppetry #behindthescenes #livetv #chicagoactors #holidaymagic

Sometimes laundry can be a horror show! Over the summer I got together with longtime collaborator Randy Michael Korwin to create this gem. Kudos to all involved - it turned out great! Surprisingly, I didn't lose my voice after hours of screaming at the top of my lungs during filming 😱 Laundry Day: short 2 of 3 Director: @rmkphoto Camera operator/DP: @darrylbmiller CGI: @robertsrandall Colorist: Jeff Altman Talent: @_chystyne #tvcommercial #advertising #halloweenmood #horrormovie #movieparady #screamqueen #cpgindustry #CPG #laundrydetergent #seekingrepresentation

Cheers to another great @witchesnightoutjoliet ! @dantesculpt245245 introduced me to the event a few years ago and I'm happy some of my close friends were able to experience it with us on Wednesday. 10/10 will definitely attend again next year 👻 PS: Thanks to one of the vendors, I am now the proud keeper of a crystal named after David Lee Roth. ::high kick:: #jolietillinois #witchesnightout #octoberfun #halloweenseason
