Here are the drawings that were in the show in the order in which they were exhibited, from left to right.  Again, these are snapshots I have only futzed with slightly in Photoshop.  I will post better quality images to my site as soon as I get them scanned and color corrected.

I didn’t really want to write any details about my and Nannette’s exhibition until all was said and done in case we didn’t pull it off in the way that we wanted.  But now that a successful opening has come and gone, I am happy to tell our tale.   I went to Budapest with only [...]

Here’s a new one that will be in the show…

I have been particularly struck by the work of two artists of late.  Mark Dion and Mike McFalls.
Last night I had the pleasure of attending a lecture by artist Mark Dion at Cranbrook.  First of all, his talk was riveting.  He speaks in such a narrative, engaging manner, that when he was finished, I just [...]

Some big things are happening right now: a switch from a 2004 crusty cell phone to an iphone (that’s right), and a big island painting.  Here are some photos by the iphone and of the painting (yes, by the phone).  Go!
