Albert Pujols

For those of you that don't know, I am a born and bred St.Louis Cardinals fan. My grandfather watched Stan Musial, my mother watched Lou Brock , I watched Ozzie Smith and my nephew has the privilege of watching Albert Pujols.

As a fan I want to watch him get his 3,000th hit as a Cardinal. I want to see him hit his 600th home run as a Cardinal. I want to see him get 5 more MVP awards as a Cardinal. If the Cardinals drop the ball on this contract extension I probably won't be paying attention to baseball for a while after the 2011 season. It'll kill me to see Albert accomplish these feats with another team.

A lot of folks in the blue collar town of St. Louis don't believe ANY athlete deserves 20 million dollars a year for playing a child's game. I can definitely see where that point of view comes from, after all, St. Louis has been hit hard with the recession. Unemployment is really high in Missouri right now. I can see a discussion like this rubbing an out-of-work construction worker the wrong way, especially in this shitty winter of 2011. Hopefully the Cards can come up with a competitive offer and keep him a Cardinal for life.

Ale Yeah! Jert on thrilist

I'm in the middle of working on a mural installation at Decatur Georgia's newest (and only) craft beer market, Ale Yeah!. I'm mentioned in an article here on the Atlanta version of thrillist.com . I still have quite a bit of work to do on the project, but I'll be sharing step by step photos here on the jert blog as soon as work is completed.

Abandoned Six Flags New Orleans Tour

I drew caricatures at this theme park before Katrina happened.
This video is weird for me to watch because I remember what the place looked like when there were people around.

Lost Toys in Rochester, New York

*poster art by David Cowels

I'm very pleased to have been invited to take part in the group show "LOST TOYS: The Ones That Got Away" at the Mercer Gallery at Monroe Community College in Rochester New York.

Here's the write up on the facebook event page:
"LOST TOYS: The Ones That Got Away"

The Monroe Community College, Mercer Gallery, Rochester, NY

Everybody has one: The treasured toy that they wish they still had, the one that they wanted but never got or the dream toy that never actually existed. The cherished toy from one's childhood looms large in the memory, and is usually much more impressive in the mind than it probably was in real life. And it's the larger than life toy of our memory (or imagination) that we are celebrating. Just in time for the holidays! Several well respected artists will present their dream toys in a variety of styles and media. Think of the gallery for this show as M.C.C. Shwartz. So, bring your inner child, or actual child, and relive the magic.

November 22 – December 22, 2010
Opening Reception: Friday December 3, from 7:00-9:00 p.m.
