This is the flyer for my upcoming group show in Seattle.  I’m pretty excited about it because there are some great artists participating who I’ve wanted to meet for a while now, and also Soule, who’s curating AND participating, who I haven’t seen in a long time.  Plus I’ve ALWAYS wanted to go to Seattle, and now I finally have a reason to go.  If you’re able to come, please do.  It’s going to be a really good time, art, music, live painting, all dat.

I’m going to be working with a company called Tasty Tees to create a tshirt that is representative of me as an artist.  I choose the color, brand, fabric, style of the shirt itself, as well as creating the art for it.  On the back near the very top will be a small paragraph about me, my art, the piece I’ve chosen, and my signature.  I’m completely excited about this.  There will only be a very limited run of this first shirt, all based on two weeks of pre sales.  This will probably begin in August.  As soon as I know for sure, and as events unfold, I’ll let you all know.  Meanwhile, I’m just working on the artwork for it.  I’ll also post the link to order them, once that’s ready.  Ahhhh this is fun.  More soon…

Thanks to everyone who made it out to my opening last night at Midoma Gallery.  It was really a good time.  I had some great surprises from people I’ve been wanting to meet, people I already know and even some surprise family members who I haven’t seen in YEARS.  Here are some pics…
