It's been awhile since my last update but a lot has been done. Most of it, however, is not actual artwork so there wasn't much to post. However, here's an update.

What All Happened?

I finished the mural at Sam's Quick Stop in the Deveroe's shopping center of Camp Washington on Friday.

I joined the Cincinnati Art Club (as an associate member) & have been participating in sketch classes, Associate art shows, & more. I recently (as in yesterday) submitted some work to be reviewed for Signature member status. Wish me luck!

I co-founded The Full Art Spectrum, an art network for artist of all disciplines (music, visual arts, dance, etc.) that meets monthly. We've already had two meetings & outgrew our original meeting place. We have a new location at Mills & Carter in Norwood.

I completed the piece "Silent Night" and "Little Moon" for friends who were at the Parkside Café event & already revisited "Silent Night" upon request.

I'm up on Youtube now performing some poetry at Creativa Creative Convergence. There are 6 pieces in two different clips from the 13th here & here. In March I did a few others. Go to the Creativa Convergence Youtube page to see them all & visit my Facebook notes for the text.

I donated four pieces to Cincinnati Leukemia & Lymphoma Society for auction. Those pieces were the Cincinnati Offensive Line, Foal and Mare, Skygazing Drifters, & Racing Bikes Downhill.

What's Coming Up?

Now I have a 2-Day Essex Studio show coming up next week starting Saturday 7th and the 8th starting at 6p until 11p on both days. I will be premiering half a dozen new works & will (hopefully) also premier some new artwork using an experimental process that is unlike anything ever done before in the history of art. I've been working on it for years & I'm down to just a few more tweaks.

There's a poetry contest coming up on the 12th at the Covington City Lights Poetry Slam which I've been working on a very complex piece, one freestyle, & reworking some previous ones.

On top of that I'm making a small series of desktop vacations which are bigger than usual (6" x 6" instead of the traditional 4" x 4") upon request from the Malton Gallery (who currently has all the traditional Desktop Vacation series available as part of their collection).

Thanks!
