Reeves' solo and collaborative works have been exhibited widely in venues including the the Whitney Museum of American Art, Space Gallery in Portland, Maine, Center for Contemporary Art in St. Louis, Dalarnas Museum in Falun, Sweden, on the streets of Nørre Snede and Humlum, Denmark, and in his own Slop Art Shop in Kansas City. His Self-Centered Portrait of Grand Rapids appeared centerstage at the Grand Rapids Civic Theatre in 2010, and his scholarly "Axis of Cute" theory was published in the Spring 2007 issue of the College Art Association's Art Journal.

He "mastered" printmaking at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, where he invented the TV Simulator and co-founded Slop Art. Reeves has taught undergraduates in drawing, printmaking, design, and electronic media at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, Kansas City Art Institute, the University of Missouri - Kansas City, the University of New England, Maine College of Art, and in 2012 he started the screen printing tradition at Southern Maine Community College in South Portland, Maine.

His illustrations have appeared in the North American Review, the Riverfront Times (St. Louis), Capital Times, the Madison Edge, Isthmus and the Progressive Magazine. He composed original music for a 2012 production of Paul Zindel's "The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds" and in 2011 played live improvised guitar for a production of Sam Shepard's "The Late Henry Moss," both produced by Mad Horse Theatre in Portland, Maine. Reeves has been active in the Bring Our War $$ Home campaign and is currently working on SlopLand Effluence Express, a shippable showroom franchise coming to a sidewalk near you.
