Postcard Show 14

The following images are some of my favorites of the 35 individual gouache and pencil on paper postcards I made for the upcoming show at The Lab. I got lazy and didn't do anything other than crop my scans, but I think in this case that's alright. 

Around the Coyote Fall Festival 2009

A bit overdue, here are a few snapshots from my booth at the Around the Coyote Falls Arts Festival here in Chicago. I wasn't able to step back enough to get a shot of the whole booth, but here's the general idea:

And the other:


Here you can see that I was chosen one of the Curator's Choice's, the curator being Britton Bertran.

All in all the festival was a mixed bag. In general I felt let down by the venue. The poor (flickering) florescent lights combined with several empty booths and unpainted display walls left me with the feeling that those responsible for organizing the show didn't care as much about the presentation of the art as they ought to have. But I'm glad for the feather in my cap that is the Curator's Choice as well as the fact that I had the opportunity to sell a few pieces I've been carrying around for too long.

Here are some really bad scans of some portraits I did for the My Face In Your Space show at Nexus in Philadelphia.


(An homage to Mollie's permanent hair-do.)


(this one suffers from lack of time spent. There were originally lots of teeth in the background and I had painted on the backside of Jenna's face, which was somewhat luminescent through the tracing paper. That version I destroyed, and was left with this lesser one.)
