Many thanks to all you folks who came out in the rain to the Omaha Summer Arts Festival. Despite the less-than-desirable weather on Saturday and Sunday (it was pretty much a soaker except on Friday), I had a great show. It’s always fun to do a new show in a place I haven’t been before. The show staff and volunteers were so helpful, and all the spectators and customers so kind. And of course, one of the best parts about being a ‘traveling’ artist is meeting and hanging out with other artists traveling along a similar path — made some new friends, I did. Here’s some pics, including the neatest water tower I’ve ever seen (coming from a coffee lover) along I-29.

Hi from Omaha!

I’m in booth #86 on Farnam between 13th & 14th Streets. Runs Friday & Saturday from 11 – 8, and Sunday from 11 – 5.

It’s been a seriously hectic few weeks of non-stop work for all these summer shows. I sort of feel like every one of these finger puppets at any given moment of the day.. but I gave myself a break and let loose in the local toy store a bit ago.. I even did laps around their checkout counter on some little foot propelled scooter (which I promised myself I’d buy by the end of the summer. It was awesome). I leave tomorrow for a long weekend in Omaha for the Summer Arts Fest. I’ve got a snazzy new tent that increases my setup and take down times by about an hour, but it’s super roomy and nice and semi-weather resistant. Monday, I’m cleaning up the disaster zone that my house has become. Updates from Omaha to come… til then.
