dusty boots

Two years ago at this time, I was shoveling 2-3 foot snow drifts out of my mom’s driveway. Today I woke up to sweatshirt weather and the smell of spring rain and it’s making me a little antsy to be outdoors and to hit the road for some travel.. I love being out there. I told a friend once that the reason I liked to go out for morning country drives is because no matter what I’ve got going on, at least I’m moving forward… I got laughed at.

In other news, I just found out that Beatrice Coron and Clay Rice, two amazing cut paper artists that I’ve admired since I began cutting paper are both in the exhibit I’m in this summer in Topeka. I saw a Beatrice Coron exhibit at the Brooklyn Public Library when I lived in NY. It was mind blowing.. I’ll be giving some sort of presentation during the month of June for this exhibit – working out the details now.. more on that later.

The MacGuffin, a national & international literary magazine, is coming out in Feb. My work titled “Stacks” is the cover image and I’ll have a few works inside. I’ll post it when it’s out.

Also, look out for Lawrence Magazine, a local Lawrence, KS, magazine on city-goings-on, for an article about Lora Jost, Dave Lowenstein (two Lawrence-based artists) & myself. It went to press last week and should be hitting stands anytime.. and it’s free.

That’s all. Here’s a song. “Dust On My Boots” by Jerry Jeff Walker
