Many thanks to all you folks who braved the cold to come out to the Lola Giant Art Show this weekend! It was a great show to end the year on. Thanks, also, to everyone who has made all my shows in 2013 so great! Now… time to get on with commissions, animations, and a new body of work for the new year. Thanks for being a part of it!

Feeling the Love

lovepeople
The orders keep rolling in and I’ve been rolling ’em out.. Thanks to all you folks who have been shopping in my Etsy store!

Thanks to Mark Murtha for photographing Crafts & Drafts last weekend. You can check out his photos of the event online HERE! (There’s even one of my cheesy mug bundled up in my coat..).

I rarely follow politics (because they frustrate me), but a big congratulations to New York City — I’m excited about their new mayor. I lived there when it was the end of Giuliani’s run, and for many years during the Bloomberg period. It was amazing how I could feel the difference between the two just by the way the city was operating. I think de Blasio will be a breath of fresh air and a step in the right direction for having an internal structure that is accessible and relatable to the majority of the citizens.. Now if the country as a whole could get on the right track..

I’m devoting the rest of my week to commissioned work. I’ve got about 10 things on my plate here, and I’ve been behind on them all. Stepping up now… til next time.

Info plus Music: Sandy Denny & The Strawbs – You’re Always On My Mind

I’m on a total posting binge (aka procrastination) and Sandy Denny Strawbs kick.

Also a note to say THANKS to all you folks who came out to Love Garden Sounds (my favorite record store) last Friday for Final Fridays. Super duper thanks to Aaron at LGS for the arduous task of hanging my artwork from basically the ceiling. It was a great time, Maria the Mexican put on a great performance, and of course, I bought more records including some old gospel-bluegrassy stuff and Jackson C. Frank (original writer of Blues Run The Game, and coincidently Sandy Denny’s boyfriend at some point in history). Goooooood stuff.

Coming up next Saturday: Crafts and Drafts at the Uptown Theater shopping area in Westport, Kansas City. 25+ beers on tap, 75 artists and crafters.. Should be a great time.
