The online chronicles of a painter living in Austin, Texas

2004 IN REVIEW
THANKS TO ALL EVERYONE WHO SUPPORTED ME
And here's a preemptive apology
for leaving anyone off the list.

Special thanks to everyone who bought my art this year:
 


Heather F.
Sean 'Dr. Awesome' F.
 Tom H.
  Paul M.
 Seela M.
 Jane N.
 Arturo P.
James P.


David P.
 Marilyn R.
Prentiss R.
 Jerry T.
Gina T.
Jon V.V.
Andy W.
and Liz.

 


From time to time people always comment to me how they'd like to have my life. Some days I'd be willing to give it to them, for free, but most of the time I know just how fortunate and lucky I've been to even attempt to survive selling my paintings and get by as strangely and in the odd fashion that I do.


And special thanks to all my fellow painters whom I was lucky enough to show with this year:
Ethan Azarian
Chris Chappell
Tim Doyle
Holly Fisher
Andrea Hendel
Jeanne Hospod
David Adrian Lujan
Charles Randolph
Meg Renwick
Grady Roper
Ian Shults
Win Wallace

Take a look at their links and continue to support the arts in Austin.
 

Things wouldn't be possible if people didn't come out to shows, enjoy my art, and decide to buy it.  In addition to a great bunch of folks that I've surrounded myself with in this little bubble that is Austin, the framework is in place to continue painting and see if I can muster the energy to seriously give this a go. 

While I'm all sappy and everything, I'd like to thank all the readers of this little website, all my friends and family as well, and hope everything is fine in your neck of the woods.  Maybe someday I'll be able to buy you a beer down the road.  In the meantime, don't stop what you're doing, unless you have a job and are paying bills. 

There's better ways to spend your time, trust me.

 


And of course, I can't forget to thank the people who helped my career along, setting up shows, supporting my efforts and being there when it was needed most:

Phillip Trussell, Blue Genie Art, Bolm Studios, Rachel Koper, Michael Lee, Matt Coldwell, Kelli Montgomery and everyone at AVAA, Arturo Palacios, Chris Chappell, Nathan Jensen, Wade Beesley, Jess at Cafe Mundi, the folks at Mojo's Daily Grind, the folks at the Statesman who featured my art twice in the Best Bet section, the arts section of the Chronicle,  and the staff at Casino El Camino.
