bits and pieces
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer ran a great review of the Animal Spell show at the end of last week. Many thanks to the writer, Nate Lippens, for his thoughtful take on my work; I love how he said that my "trippy visions suggest Alice in Wonderland at a nature conservancy." My show partner Justin Gibbens has another 2-person show up in Seattle right now, this time with the photographer Nealy Blau at G. Gibson Gallery. These two watercolors are my favorite pieces from Justin's show at G. Gibson:

Out in L.A., my friend Ryan McLennan has a new show up at Kinsey/DesForges Gallery. I love these!

It's amazing how my thoughts have already turned to summer, with spring barely here yet. Lisa Congdon and I decided on the date for the opening of my show at Rare Device in San Francisco (Friday, June 6!); my daughter is all signed up for camp; and I have some Red Sox tickets for a hot July night.
In the meantime, the magnolias are blooming!
a new post - yeah :)
I love the new works by Ryan too!

Wonderful projects! I'm longing for summer too, I'm longing for the beach and swimming at the sea. And i wish I had a magnlia tree in my little patio, ha, ha...

Huh...your two favorite works by Justin Gibbens were also the two that Michael and I thought most successful. I guess the "objective artist eye" thing holds true every now and again...though most often subjectivity rules the day.
I think Ryan McLennan's work is consistently strong.
Congratulations on the good press!
