On the books for Spring to teach an experimental drawing class at (don't laugh at the irony) Catholic University.

Been working on this magazine rack for the past 4 or 5 days, (during the day), then hair embroidery at night. Can't wait till this drawing is finished.

God bless Jerry Saltz, for calling it out when being interviewed by Irving Sandler for The Brooklyn Rail:

"The same sixteen curators assemble all the shows all over the world, showing the same sixteen artists. It’s horrible and frustrating. If you’re not on the circuit you can’t get in the circuit. That’s bad. I see a lot of mid-career artists who have done something for years get passed over for a much younger artist doing essentially the same thing. I see younger artists getting passed over simply because another curator hasn’t given them the stamp of approval."

Published last Fall, but just called to my attention. Love the world wide web of working artists, in the trenches in disparate parts of the world, passing the good shit on, in case you missed it.

"Blessed Art Thou" appears in a new 60 minute documentary, "Kitsch", directed by Tink Diaz, and broadcast on the show ARTE/NDR for German Public Teevision.

What I must finish working on & what I can't wait to start.......

Been very busy. Someone would like to exhibit the study drawing for "Blessed Art Thou", and I have decided that the concept just wouldn't work unless the top part has color. I had to go back to NC to get it, and I have spent the last few weeks going over the top with watercolor & colored pencil. Really want to finish this up so I can get to my angel project.
