Pegasus Maze

Most people don't know this about me, but I love making mazes. I am fairly obsessed with them. Well, very obsessed. I am working on a book-length maze project that is part art-book, part puzzle-book, fun/interesting for adults and kids, and in black and white. I am also working on rock and roll-themed mazes so that when you buy the new Murder Bros. album, you also get a little book with a few mazes. I think it could be a very cool thing for people to go home with from a show.

Anyway, here is a maze for Pegasus I drew a few years ago. I like it a lot because it's kind of psychedelic.  If you click it and get the bigger image, you can print it out and do it. I hope you have fun with it. Let me know.

National Poetry Month at Pegasus

A fun month for everyone. National Poetry Month is more wondrous than Christmas time.

Barbara Claire freeman, Elizabeth Robinson, and Rusty Morrison at Pegasus

I've been wanting to draw kind of a sharp-looking pegasus who still looked kind of soft.  A lot of the image is forced, but I think that it looks effortless.  I wanted to make something that a lot of people would think that they could do but couldn't.

Pegasus: Sorry for Snake: Logan Ryan Smith and Hillary Gravendyk

Hillary Gravendyk and Logan Ryan Smith are reading on the 24th of January to celebrate the second issue Sorry for Snake at Pegasus Downtown.

Tiki images are fun to think about in the winter. In Polynesia, they are not too cold to go to a poetry reading, so maybe you won't be either.
I enjoy the colors of Tiki designs. Also, there is often a dark element to Tiki stuff, which is why I wanted to have a girl holding a snake in a tropical paradise setting. And who doesn't love a girl with a cocktail umbrella in her hair?

October is the New April at Pegasus

If I can find an excuse to use hot pink and blue line drawings, I will; BEWARE! So I drew everything in Illustrator and used some cowboy text even though it has nothing to do with cowboys.
This was for the Eyeball Hatred Reading Series that Clay Banes does at Pegasus. I read the title at the top as an imperative. FREE POETRY READINGS! THIS OCTOBER!!!
I am a little more proud of this than I should be, I think, but I do like it very much.

David Larsen, Alli Warren, and Dana Ward

The Eyeball Hatred reading series at Pegasus Downtown is one of the reasons why I am happy to be alive.

This one was fun.
All good poets go to hell.

Noah Eli Gordon and Andrew Joron at Pegasus

God I love poetry.
Thank you for blessing me with the gift of speech so that I may partake in the highest form of art.
Cool poster, too, no?

Alan Bern at Pegasus Downtown

I've been a little obsessed with elements of art nouveau lately. Alan Bern is a Berkeley poet. Pegasus Downtown is the best bookstore in the world. That is mostly due to the efforts of Clayton Banes but also the poets who contribute to the vitality of the independent bookstore scene.
