We’re pretty stoked about the upcoming CreativeMornings Houston event… We’ll have The Wiggins performing! http://thewiggins.bandcamp.com/

The Wiggins is a one-man band created by artist Jon Read. Though know for his wild experimental punk rock, live performances, Read has also gain the reputation as song writer and producer, licensing his music to the hit CBS show HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER. Read is currently working as the  music supervisor for the independent documentary “Vietnam Appreciation Day”. The Wiggins releases have received critical praise, which lead him to be invited to play SXSW in 2007. His music has been published by Dullknife, Needless Records and Team Science.

Jon Read’s visual art has enjoyed equal success. He has created concept art and props for HIMYM as well as cover art for books such as “Year of the Rooster” by poet Noah Eli Gordon. Read’s artwork as been displayed at numerous galleries, both in Houston and around the globe. His most recent show was at Third Space in Copenhagen Denmark in December of 2013.

Both his music and art are heavily influenced by outsider icons such as painter Henry Darger and pop odd balls, The Shaggs.

Jon Read is currently working as a freelance artist and is writing an R rated post-apocalyptic children’s book entitled “Tales from No Mans Land”. 

Every month, we (Shawna & I) do a photo shoot for the CreativeMornings global theme. One of the photos is then placed in the opening slides for our CreativeMornings Houston events, to introduce ourselves to people. This month we drove to The Teepee Motel for our photo shoot :)

Our guest photographer for this month was Carra Sykes. Shawna was kind enough to capture some behind–the–scenes photos of our photo shoot with the lovely Carra Sykes & her companion Lauren Marek.
