It’s been too long since an Official Art Update. I will put everything in bullet form because it’s more official looking.
- 621 Gallery in Tallahassee, FL propositioned me to be their graphic designer. Tremendous amounts of fun! Every month I get to design a postcard. I have a bit of a love affair with postcards to this is right up my alley.
- I am now on 621′s Board! Not only does this benefit a cause I believe in and help teach me some about my new chosen field, it’s also more fun than a barrel full of monkeys!
- I also made the gallery a MySpace page. Judging by the number of hits I think it was a good move.
- Two of my pieces are hanging in the Roddenbery Memorial Library in Cairo, GA until further notice.
- July is the Month of Exhibits! My work will be in the Transitions exhibition at 621 Gallery AND in a show in Barnesville, GA. More details later.
- In November I will be in a show at Iowa State University.
- I’m applying to a number of juried shows with important sounding jurors. I’ll let you know how that goes.
In other news, have any of you heard of stand-out board? I had WHCC make a 16×24 print and attach it to this stand-out board as an experiment. It looks as if it’s some type of 3/4 inch thick box made out of a very thin but substantial board material with hanging holes cut in it. The box is filled with a foam like material and the outside edge is covered in a thin strip of black plastic. It’s a final and permanent framing device. I’m not too keen on the thought of nothing hard being there to protect the front of my print. But I will say that it looks fantastic hanging on a wall! And it’s ultra-lite which certainly helps when it comes to shipping.
