Next trip?

I know at the last Salon, the Sons had a brief discussion about our next trip for the Spring/Summer. I unfortunately had to leave early that night, but would love to hear more about this! Oregon is the destination, if I remember correctly?

The Hollow Exhibition Aftermath

Thanks to everyone who came out and supported the show this past weekend. Many of the Sons participated in the show and that just elevated the level of professional work represented in the show and in the Pilsen area.

We had so many people compliment not only the individual artists, but the show as a whole. Many people even came to the show, left to see the other shows and then returned to our show to say that it was one of the best shows on the street that weekend.

Wow.

I may have put the show together, but it really was all of the participating artists lending their unique vision to the show that made it truly work. I owe you all a great deal of thanks, more so than I can actually ever achieve.

A very special thanks to Kristen Kernats, without whom I would not have been able to last through the weekend. She was a rock and a great companion all weekend as she helped me run the show from open to close each day. Thank you so much!

Thanks again everyone!

Let me know if you have any questions.

It was a hit.

We had people from three all the way until eight. There was a shortage of cookies. Joel Pace made an appearance. Bob was handing out tacos. Katie wore polka dots and Gabs rocked blue eye liner. Nick's mom made fantastic toffee. I took breather on the back porch and was met by a doe. Tony brought in waves of people. The curator was thrilled.

Job well done Sons.

My Savannah Painting

Hey guys!
So I realized that I never posted my painting here on the blog.

So this is the one and only painting that I got done while we were in GA. It was in Lafayette Square. It was definitely my favorite square. This one will be at the show this weekend, hope to see everyone there! :)
