When i get an idea i like to try it -- hence my schizophrenic artistic endeavors... this website is a spot for me to put all the things i love to do in one place. Mosaic, music, song writing, painting, photography, folk art, recording...

moving right along

THE NEWS - The first in a series of DROGE and SUMMERS blend EP's is available at our own web-store! It's also available on iTunes and the other usual i stores. To check out our store visit http://puzzletreemusic.com/store. This project is a collaboration with my long time partner, Pete Droge. Our first EP has five new songs and both of us share the lead vocals. It's a bit different than what you've heard from us in the past.

Two of the Lucky Ones - On the day our record was released we got a call that song #2 from our new EP had landed in the movie ZOMBIELAND starring Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg. The movie had a great first week - shooting up to number one! Thanks to all the people who have looked us up when they heard the song. It is out now on Blu-Ray and DVD so go rent it!

Pete and I will be getting back to the Droge & Summers Blend Volume Two as soon as we can - it's been a long road finishing the movie score and we hope to have a little break before diving back in to this project -

DOCUMENTARY- The movie "A lot Like You" is DONE. It features a Pete Droge original score with some of the instrumental versions of songs we wrote together. For more information on this film and to see the Trailer visit http://www.alotlikeyoumovie.com.

MOSAIC- I will be doing a variety of mosaic work this year - Starting with an obelisk that will be mounted near the beach in Dockton (on Vashon Island) made with the thousands of shards collected over the years by Anita Halstead. Scheduled dedication will be in September 2010. This is a project with the Vashon Tile Guild that I am so happy to be back with after my 2 year hiatus. Also on the schedule for the Guild is a gallery show at the Blue Heron this October called "Imagine Vashon". This is a large scale project as anyone knows who saw our last show will attest - we go all out.
LATEST- Along with be awarded Volunteer of the Year for Vashon Island Pet Protectors this year- my mosaic cat "Sparkler" and puppies "Yin Yang" and "Lil Fetch" raised more money than I could have ever hoped for for my favorite no-kill animal shelter. It was a great night.

In the first two weekends of December- I will be back on the Studio Art Tour, selling my art from the beautiful home of Terri and Geoff Fletcher. More on this as it gets closer.
