life is rich

it's ok for me to have everything i want

this seems doubly true for me now, freshly married with a new home and packing for a 2.5 week cruise in the eastern mediterranean.

trouble in paradise

art meets wildlife at the schönbrunn zoo.
this is definitely some of coolest installation art i’ve ever seen. too bad it only runs through october.

through the looking glass

the lesser known alice will be showing for a month at zero zero, with a closing reception thursday, 9 july.

all the king's men

as i wrap up the pieces, my mind churns with thought. by monday’s install, i will have completed a series of sixteen drawings and nearly twenty framed sketches for this show. the equation looks something like this:

two months - forty plus hours per week - wedding planning time = studio time

pushing myself for this show has done nothing but raised my ambition, which mostly takes away from my time sleeping, but also leaves me little time to enjoy seattle’s beautiful weather. along with the drawings for ‘through the looking glass’, i’m also working on a piece for a show in portland and five more for one in texas [dfw]. exhausting, perhaps, but more invigorating than anything.

as if the pending deadlines weren’t enough, i’m also experimenting with acrylics and custom toy painting, both together and separately. more on that soon.

for now i must hide the charcoal stains and assume my secret identity.
