Today I woke up to sweatshirt weather and the smell of spring rain and it&#8217;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&#8217;ve got going on, at least I&#8217;m moving forward&#8230; I got laughed at.<\/p>\n<p>\nIn other news, I just found out that Beatrice Coron and Clay Rice, two amazing cut paper artists that I&#8217;ve admired since I began cutting paper are both in the exhibit I&#8217;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&#8217;ll be giving some sort of presentation during the month of June for this exhibit &#8211; working out the details now.. more on that later.<\/p>\n<p>The MacGuffin, a national &#038; international literary magazine, is coming out in Feb. My work titled &#8220;Stacks&#8221; is the cover image and I&#8217;ll have a few works inside. I&#8217;ll post it when it&#8217;s out.<\/p>\n<p>\nAlso, 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) &#038; myself. It went to press last week and should be hitting stands anytime.. and it&#8217;s free.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s all.
