another blog i started, and can't keep up with it. herumph.

well, the P is for penis has two pages up. i'm in the heat of summer wedding season and trying to start an annual art show for next month. this will be the first show. i'm just to busy to keep up with the blog.

after the rush, the other site will be fully operational... unless the rebel alliance is plotting against me.

too much?

putting the P back in Penis.

2009-03-26T13:25:00.000-07:00

this is a short post because i'm still swamped. unfortunately this doesn't cover any of the new updates i promised, sorry to disappoint some of you.

over the last few weeks, i've been working on separating my naughty works from the design business i run, but i was having trouble pinpointing a memorable name that was appropriate and humorous.

however, on my one year anniversary, over a bottle of wine, my wife was struck with an idea for this new venture. one that normally comes out of my own mouth!

these works and more will now have a home under the following moniker:

the P. is for penis. illustrations by keith P. rein

sleep? that's new.

been super busy with my wife's bakery, and maintaining small slivers of sanity while trying to work my other two jobs (freelance & bartender).

updates on SLC, Ike & Jane, & new work soon.

new paper should be in this week as well. those of you waiting for prints & bonuses only have a few more restless nights of anticipation.

SLC Convention.

2009-02-14T23:48:00.001-08:00

so far so good. i'm having a great time with the boys and carolyn, whom i've traveled 1,000 of miles with to get here. i've met some great new people, admirers, and more importantly friends (this sounds like a fucking greeting card right now).

a lot of new faces became fans of my work, chris's and mike's as well. here are some verbal highlights. i'll put up some pictures when i get back home.... also cause i'm on margarita duty right now. that's right, cause i'm awesome!

chris: lip tattoo, phoenix (chest to back piece), sexy text w/ phillagry, won #1 small color award complete w/ plaque and client won $100

mike: topless chick w/ ATAT helmet and unicorn skull in hands, baby fetus in coke bottle, doomsday skull w/ headdress, robot pinup girl,

dennis: sick crow w/ phillagry swirls - this made me think about having him color in my snowy egrets... (didn't happen though), snakebird on carolyn's arm

if you are my facebook friend, you can check some of the mobile uploads of these things. if not, wait a week.

i met this guy who has some amazing sex terms, ya know, the gross ones like angry pirate, jelly donut, his penultimate was the sigfried and roy! soooo good - soooo tricky. that's for another update.

for reals.

ooo- margarita time.

The Click Five - East Coast Tour

2009-02-08T22:00:00.000-08:00

these posters were made primarily for online distribution for The Click Five's mini east coast tour in march. they were great to work with, and considering it is the equivalent of having 5 clients for one project - things went very smoothly.

joey zehr actually took the design from this poster and made a nice little animation for their website.

the bottom two were early designs that we didn't finish hashing out. although they need work i still quite like them. kyle patrick's face on the right side is used multiple times as a place holder for the other members.

The Lone Ranger Rides Again

The Lone Ranger Rides Again

i have finished another image for the erotic art show/wood series. also, the first batch of prints are printed, stuffed and on their way to SLC, Utah for the tattoo&artist convention. they look marvelous i might add, as do mike groves' (poopbird), which i printed for him as well.

a little word about the wood series. i live in athens, ga and i cannot recall there ever being an adult themed or erotic art show in town. we have the interest, and a few venues that would be interested... it just hasn't happened yet. so i gathered a few friends to join me in creating work for the show. i guess you can call me a curator for the show - though i won't be shooting anyone down.

there will be five of us myself (digital illustration), mike groves (digital illustration/painting), lea purvis (mixed media), steve wang (photography), and nash hogan (painting).

the show will be in april and will be one night only! paired w/ a sexy dance party. no doubt w/ dj cut a bitch.

so that is the initial fuel behind the series. i wanted to do something sexual, that was both graphic in content and presentation. each illustration will be printed on wood veneer paper, and the goal is to have around 100 prints hanging in a grid. similar to introduction pages on adult websites.

originally, the prints were just going to be numbered, not titled. however, since i am selling some at the convention this month, the wife and i decided to title them.

here are our combined efforts:

shawty went low, low, low
butterscotch
tennis shoe cam
dr. leuss
dot your i's
frosted fakes
spank me, deer
scratch 'n sniff
... and dustin was all like, swoosh
my spidey sense is tingling

i will let you play a little matching game w/ the images and titles.
