Many thanks to you folks that came out to the Lola Valentine’s Day Show last Saturday in Lawrence. It was a fun show to be a part of. No more fair type shows until April.. My next event is the Monster Drawing Rally on Mar. 1 in Kansas City.
Besides that, I’m trying to create new works, I’ve got 3 design projects and a couple commissions in the pipeline, and I’m working on a very short Valentine’s Day animation to follow tradition (I’ve made one the last two years so why stop now). I realized I was fooling myself into thinking I could have a longer animation ready for the March 1 deadline for the Free State Film Festival. I’ve got the story written and have started storyboarding, but things seem to compound on top of that and it keeps getting pushed back. Must pay the bills first I suppose.. Anyway, new things to come. I’ll also be restocking Essential Goods, 1109 Gallery, and putting new stock into Phoenix Gallery, all in Lawrence, tomorrow.
I’ve been having a non-stop printing/ matting/ bagging party.. I was down to zero stock of prints and cards after the holidays, so I’ve been building it back up for my first show of the year, which is tomorrow, in Lawrence. I’m also shipping out a package of goods to Collector Art Shop in Berkeley, CA, today. Lots of new prints and cards making their debut. Strangely, I’m shipping out 5 different packages to California today… All my latest online orders came from there. Who knows?
I’ll also be restocking Bella Luz in Wichita, Essential Goods in Lawrence, and Dundee Gallery in Omaha next week, so look for new stuff in those places as well. And I’m happy to say that I’ll be putting my prints & cards at the Pheonix Gallery here in Lawrence next week as well. I had a meeting about it there yesterday. It’s a great space.. and it’s right across the street from Love Garden — my favorite record store, so I had to pay them a visit after my meeting. And now, as I work on getting ready for tomorrow, I’m spinning a Ted Lucas re-issue. Also picked up a couple David Bromberg records and a new record by Angel Olsen as recommended. Til next time..
I’ve been invited to be part of this year’s Monster Drawing Rally, and it kicks off the beginning of Kansas City Design Week 2013. I’ll be doing some ‘live’ paper cutting, and the artwork will be auctioned off afterward. It’s also part of the First Friday festivities in KC. I’ll post more when the date draws nearer.
I spent the better part of Sunday afternoon hiking around a friend’s and her neighbor’s wooded property out in the country. This bird flying above caught my attention. More photos to come.. but first, must finish printing, matting, getting ready for art fair, etc.
My first show of the year is coming up this Saturday in Lawrence. I’ve been spending many, many hours getting prints & cards ready, and I’ll be rolling out a few new ones. I’ll have a bunch of smaller originals available too. My larger originals are hanging at the Douglas County Law Library Art Gallery through March.
I think I died and went to eagle heaven today. It was reported that there were more than 100 bald eagles roosting at Bean Lake in Rushville, MO, and in somewhat disbelief, I headed over there.. and it was true. These three I was able to walk right up to the trees that they were sitting in. Pretty amazing. More photos to come..
11 x 14 inch paper cutting. I really had no idea where I was going with this paper cutting when I posted the last in progress shot.. It just sort of came about as I went.
