Ventura County Pride Festival

This weekend is the Ventura County Pride Festival in downtown. I'll have some work up in Arts on Main at 242 Main St along with some other ultra talented people! Should be a good show and 30% of all sales are donated to the Pride association.
From 6-9pm, I'm hosting an informal life drawing session in the back of Arts on Main. Our lovely and talented model, Alanna Burns, will be fully costumed and fabulous for our drawing pleasure. It's $10 to sit in, and like I said, very informal. So if you're interested, bring a pillow, your drawing board, some wine (why not??) and let's have a good time!

I swear every time I go to an art event, I overhear at least one other person talking about the show. It. Was. MASSIVE. My entry was #940 and according to one of the above articles, they cut it off somewhere around 1600. Damn! What a fun thing to participate in. Special thanks to my awesome boss who let me take the day off work to install my piece at Bergamot Station. <3

Shoshana Wayne Gallery at Bergamot Station

I'm taking part in what seems like it's going to be a MASSIVE group show at Shoshana Wayne Gallery in Santa Monica. It all started with a chain letter...sent to ten artists who each invited ten more artists who then each invited ten more and so on and so on...
Install is tomorrow and the opening reception this Saturday from 6-8 pm. It's gonna be epic!

ArtWalk this weekend!

The time has come for Ventura's Art Walk, and this year I am finally able to be part of it! Come see me at my studio (248 Main) Saturday from 1-5ish (though the studio is open til 9 pm) and Sunday noon to 5. Saturday I have to leave early for a show I'm doing at Shoshana Wayne Gallery at Bergamot Station in Santa Monica, but my sculptural doppelganger, Jamie Danielson, will be there in my absence. Check out my latest work and some new stuff for sale, plus all of Jamie's awesome surreal three-dimensional pieces.
