I’ve got a couple of pieces in a touring mustache-themed art show called “La Moustache,” featuring over 80 artists from Canada, the UK and the USA, and produced/curated by a Toronto group called Methinks Presents. It will be in Brooklyn this Friday.
Tangent: I’ve also got a bunch of work featured in the digital edition of the new issue of Herbivore magazine. You have to be a subscriber to see it, though. If you’re at all interested in being cool (and interested in veganism, too, I guess), you should be a subscriber!
Anyway, back to the mustachios. My two pieces are kind of big in real life, too big for my scanner, so I had to shoot them with a camera. They were on display in Montreal a month or so ago, they will be in Brooklyn for one night only this Friday, November 2nd, and then they will be on display for a couple of weeks in Toronto at Sublime Cafe towards the end of November.
The Brooklyn party will be from 9pm to 4am on November 2, 2007 at Hope Lounge (10 Hope Street) in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. I’ll be there, and I hope you can come out, too! It’s free, and there will be DJs and drinking and prizes for the best mustache disguises. I’m really looking forward to seeing the other art and meeting the Methinks people.
It’s going to be a big weekend, what with the Moustache Party, Takeover BAM, the WFMU Record Fair!
You’re like a famous artist. Bitchin’!

Really like your artwork. Lines are nice and color is vivid. What type of scanner to do use?
— Terry Banderas December 5, 2007 #
Thanks, Terry. These pictures were actually taken with a camera (4-year-old Canon Powershot S50, nothing fancy) because they were too big for my scanner.
But most of the rest of what’s on the site is scanned on an Epson “Perfection 3170 Photo” scanner. Again, nothing fancy. I inevitably adjust the levels in Photoshop—sometimes contrast, color balance, and saturation as well.
