Work In Progress - February

So welcome to my blog, and more importantly, welcome to my new monthly update. I can't promise it will be done the first day of the month going forward, but it will be in the first part of the month. It is my way to let all of you know what I am working on, what is on the horizon, and what to look forward to. So take a look...

February

* Starting work on a new project with a gallery (to be announced soon) to bring a skateboard deck show with artists from across the country to the NW Suburbs.

  • I have always wanted to do something as an homage to my love of skateboarding. I knew a lot of people put together skate deck shows and I wasn't sure if it was somthing that I wanted to do, but now I have decided what a perfect time to do it. I found a kindred spirit who was totally excited about doing a show, and now I am in the process of sourcing the boards, lining up artists, coming up with a cohesive curtorial look and feel, and in general planning out the whole thing. The tentative date is in the first part of June, and it should be a total blast. Keep watching for more updates and look below for some pics of what's going on with it.

* Framing out some new pieces that I have been working on.

* Taking some new risks and meeting with some new venues to show my pieces...more to come...
