The New American Paintings that I'm in, no. 85, just came in the mail this afternoon. Stoked!


The cover (artist is Devin Troy Strother)

They used one of my images in the "Contents" page.

First two pages of my spread, perfect...

And the second two pages. They put the wrong painting in, which is kind of a boo-urns, but what can you do?

Four new paintings I'm working on.

This show is opening Sunday, March 7. 5-9

Aside from this, I've started 11 paintings. There may, or may not, be an event in Southern California in April. If things pan out, I'll make the announcement here this week. Also working on some things for a group exhibition at Mahan Gallery in Columbus, Ohio in June. I believe the opening will be June 5th and I'm planning on flying out there for that.

Because things have been so busy, I haven't seen a lot of shows this week like I usually would, but I did check out the Park Life opening last Friday. Very much worth checking out. In a few days I plan to have some new images finished up and some progress shots. Until then...

Both of these are finished up and ready to hang at WE Artspace over in Oakland next month. I just found out that I'll be showing with Mahan Gallery in Columbus, Ohio this June, so next on the agenda is finishing up work for that show.

Far from being a great photo of this painting, but hopefully I'll have a better one up in a few days. This is just about finished up.

Moving along much faster than I'd thought it would.

This painting is getting to be OFF THA CHAIN
