I am happy to announce that I have joined Urban-Muse.
Urban-Muse is made up a bunch of badass artists who kick butt!
You can keep up to date about artists events and news in their blog.
Curt Anderson, curator and a great artist, posted a welcome for me almost a week back. Last night, I entered my first post! I introduced myself, displayed a small army of charcoal animals that I had completed within the last couple months, and told everyone my plan to destroy the world!
Muwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Visiting Art Explosion Fall Open Studios
My first time going to Art Explosion's Open Studio! The building is three stories tall with at least fifty artists a floor. I headed straight up to the third floor and went to check out Paul Konzen's studio!
There were some paintings I recognized from the past, and plenty of new artwork I have not seen until today; they all looked awesome.
As Paul was showing me around, we ran into Janet Ji Song! She is an amazing painter as well, but her website is not quite developed yet.
Jamie Lee's super tight paintings were also shown:
But there were more than paintings there; I saw interesting sculptures, fashion, weaving, and mixed media work. Before I left the telephone wire sculptures hanging in the corner caught my eye.
These are made by:
Tuan Tran's work is very impressive. I am glad I got a chance to meet him!

Stuff Happened
Damn! Have not posted for a while! Knew that I would slack off sometime.
First, the Portals and Peepholes show was awesome! Like stepping into another world! In case you missed it, here are photos from the event.
Well a lot has happened. I don't feel like going into detail about it today, so here is a summary of topics to talk about in near future posts (and by "near" I mean within the next week or so):
Anyway, still tending to the body farm (click on "death" under labels) on my balcony, I am reminded of an old bronze sculpture I did a couple years ago. Uglinteresting piece of work.
I don't know how clearly the shapes read, but it is basically an abstract female body with a hand in place of her head, holding a staff with feet at one end, and the second hand at the top of the staff, holding a cage. The cage has her face as the base.
Inside the cage are dove eggs. A dove has made a nest in a shrub of one of the plant boxes out there. The dove laid three eggs, only one egg did not survive and it was just one egg in the cage for a few months.
Then one day a dove (cannot verify it was the same dove) was back in the same nesting area, only this time, she was just keeping one egg warm. Unfortunately, that egg was abandoned due to an unintentional spook to the dove.
Now r.i.p two fetuses, birds that were to be, but never will, their spirits reside in an open birdcage, free to fly, free to come and go as they please.
So I guess technically, I have four small bodies....
