A West Texas art show.

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

Here is my show at Galleri Urbane, in the West Texas town of Marfa.   Marfa has a population of around 2200.  Apparently, all 2200 residents buy art.  Who’da thunk it.

When one travels in Texas one must remember to bring one’s Elk head.

A coffee house show.

Monday, July 20th, 2009

     I’m having a coffee house show at Blue Mug in Escondido, CA.  I haven’t done one of these in quite awhile.

  The fun part is to sit in the cafe and watch people look and comment on your art without knowing that the artist is sitting right there.  A bit of a voyeur, I am. 

  At  art openings only the people that like your art will talk to you.  You get a  one-sided  view of how people feel about your art.  It’s interesting to hear why they DON’T like your work. You can overhear how they feel about the color, subject matter, and composition of your work.  It’s interesting hearing their views no matter how much a complete idiot they are.

Being an anonymous observer also makes it easier to follow people out to their cars.

Interesting developements from Las Cruces, NM.

Las Cruces, New Mexico, has been taken over by Transformer Roadrunners.

I discovered this fact while traveling thru Southern New Mexico on my way to Texas.  Perched upon a hill overlooking this peaceful town of honest folk and pecan farmers is the metallic menace.  You can tell by his intense stare he means business.

Hi, I’m back.

Did you notice the silence?  I ’ve been gone for 2 weeks.  The blogging will begin tomorrow!
