All in all, a good space to work, and with the wifi repeater, I've got a strong Internet connection for streaming audio ... Pandora radio, or SomaFM.
I've been working on a number of projects, including this new piece (sorry, it's sold already):

The text is laser-printed and glued to the board under a thick coating of gloss gel applied with a 5" print roller. Sort of a gel encaustic collage.

The Cryptic Canvas (TCC) Event Gallery is hosting a juried, indoor artists exhibition, ART off the Lot, November 5th - 8th. It is being independently run...needless to say it will be a lot more original, creative & fun! TCC is very much a gallery that acts in the interest of the artist. The show is only $500 (per booth, which can be shared by 2 artists) for an indoor venue (which is half of all other indoor exhibitions) & we are not up-charging on extras (ie. walls, electricity, etc. Our cost is the artists cost). We also have a large portion of the budget dedicated to advertising.
The application deadline is Sept. 4th. So, you've still got a couple of days.

The paintings are on loan indefinitely. We may switch them periodically. If you're interested in purchasing one, .
]]>And those who did notice took it much in stride.]]>"I thought it was cool to juxtapose the nude woman with the art in the room," said Mike Markovich, a tourist from Toronto. "I was surprised by how many people didn't even notice her."
His friend, Elizabeth Epstein, added, "It's fitting that such an art project would happen in a museum in New York City."
Hyman asked, "Why is this wrong? There were thousands of people in the Met today looking at nudes as art, but as soon as there is a real nude, it's a big problem."
Neill had the same question, which she posed to the security guard who detained her.
Original paintings can still be purchased by contacting me directly.
