July 19, 2004 - Since the end of the Cool
Struttin' show at the end of June, things in the studio have slowed
down a bit, with the first time all year I've been able to take some
time off, re-gather my energy, find new ideas, and replenish my
stock of paints and canvases.
I've got two big shows on the horizon, the follow up to last year's
'Shoulda Been a Plumber' show, which will feature a pared down crew
of artists because the Blue Genie space will be unavailable for use.
Also on the horizon is the show at Austin's Daugherty Center, which
should be big, and potentially draw a whole new crowd of people to
see my work. With both shows so desperately close on the
horizon, I'm not sure what my availability will be for having a
Christmas blow out, maybe I'll just skirt away from Austin
unannounced and return in the New Year. It's a ways ahead, so
there's no sense thinking about those things now. I've
included some pictures below of what I'm dabbling with in studio,
although I've mainly been trying to get a lot of woodworking done so
when I get back from Kansas City I won't have to make stretchers.

Here's some of the new paintings that I
have launched into. They are a bit fresh, and I haven't nailed
down everything yet, so I don't feel its my right just yet to go on
blabbering about them. but I feel good working on them and
confident they'll be a part of one of my fall shows. The
pictures are a bit dark and the colors are a little off, but overall
they do have a harder edged pallete, but the subject matter is a bit
more hard edged too, so its fitting. |
