This is 7 minutes and 9 seconds of snow from VT for my friends who live in the desert. I'll be watching this when the temperatures get into the triple digits (Fahrenheit)

9th Street Studios is going to be open again this year for Art Detour.

Here a map of how to find us:

I'm Super excited because I just found out that Penelope Umbrico will be one of the visiting artists that I'll have a chance to meet - she's replacing Siobhan Liddell who sadly can't make it. Check out her work: http://www.penelopeumbrico.net/

My finger isn't healing very quickly so I've been busy planning an homage to Newton and Kepler. It might be incorporated into the Goodness project just as the Sunsets might. More on that later...

Bad news for the Sunset painting. The varnish I used yellowed a great deal in certain spots and therefore the painting (which I was calling a prototype) is ruined. However, I've since tested several varnishes on top of several different surfaces and have found one or two that will work. Test Strip below.

Also, I've added exponential growth and decay to the goodness project though I'm not sure the best way to put the project on the www. Ill take suggestions if anyone has them. It's a growing project. Anyways, I needed to add the growth/decay because the implants grow and e. So many possibilities. They must be narrowed down.

UPDATE: the yellow is fading!! thanks UV

I've been asked to participate in "Wonderland: Art from New Times Best of Phoenix 2009"
and what a fun project it was! Thank you New Times!

Here's my project (sticking to the sunset theme as in my studio):

It's a composite image which has been manipulated via photoshop and can only be seen through the letters of mostly advance-fee fraud and a little viagra spam.

I'm participating in the MonOrhid Arts Fete.

I have 2 sketches that are for sale from my sunset experiment series. These are from experiment #3. I'll be posting photos of these to the gallery section of the website shortly.

Come enjoy a night of arts and fun with some local artists!
