Best of luck to Jake, who's book had a local release at Book Buffs today. Well done, Dr. York.

Muted but Hireable

I haven't much to say for myself lately. I have been working on things like this. Dreaming small and big. Next thing you know, there may be a darkroom in my basement. There may even be potential for developing and printing classes.

Dreaming small and big.

Listen II from [re]collection

[re]collection comes down tonight. Thanks to everyone who came out and supported the show(s) in Aurora. There is limited wall space and really, one should not have too many pieces of one's own art to stare at. So there will be a good sale on the prints and maybe even the framed ones if interested and it doesn't move to my favorite wineshop, Divino. Things have come about that are prompting me to really hustle the next couple of months. We'll see if I really do it. Someday this will all make sense, right?

Fingers crossed.

The Business of 3 (2)

Nope, I didn't do this flyer. Was nice for a change.

So more threes. Here is the third part of the crazy. A one-night stand at the Oriental Theater, 44th and Tennyson. Very very excited about this for a few reasons.

One, there's work I haven't shown publicly before, which can be good or bad for the artist who likes feedback.

Two, I was actually asked to participate, which has that sometimes-audible click of validation. At least, my eyes light up.

Three, the other artists showing and performing are some of my favorite bright stars of Denver. I get to have some work on the walls at the same time that Ian Cooke or Josh Novak are playing?! Hello, cello. Come the eff on. That's good stuff. I really appreciate that and I can't wait to see how the whole thing goes down. One night only, kids. I pulled some good hours in the darkroom for this one. I will have only 5 prints available, including the first, best original, for each piece. Signed and dated with my sincere thanks for the support. Please tell everyone you can about this thing. It needs help being a one-night stand AND a Saturday instead of the usual First Friday deal. Details on the above flyah.

Big thanks to Jeff, The Scattered Arts Collective and all those behind the scenes, turning the heavy wheels.

There should be a third post, don't you think...?

The Business of 3

yep, crooked, unregistered, mixed inks and complete imperfection on re-purposed paper. Love. it.

So I'm running a little bit thin these days. Within two weeks I must re-orient my time and lifestyle. I am fine with that. It's part of exactly how things are supposed to be right now. This of course does not allow me to shirk responsibility. In fact, it is charging me with more. Maybe that all could have been unsaid as it seems so purposefully vague.

My posts are fewer and I don't want to let that slide so much. Eventually I am thinking redesign on the ol' blog here. Well, really I should say 'design' as I didn't really do too much here to begin with other than pick, switch, drag and drop. More things for a list that will span my life I think.

But I have 3 posts for you today.

Three, or 3 or merely the significance of three is big right now. This is the third showing of a collaborative project that happened last year between two photogs, Bethany DeMarco and myself. The show has some legs. A fourth venue may be nice, but I'm not sure the original could survive much more. Besides, I'd like it to go out of state, if it's going to move. At any rate, there will also be a party for this 3rd show. The above flyer was screen-printed by hand by me and my collaborator. A good fun night with some fellow ink-heads and good color. Nothing like getting a little dirty and creating something raw, good, tactile, perfectly flawed. In my designey-haste, I somehow left the date off, which you will find painstakingly written (by hand again) on all of them. My half of the flyers dated by my lovely and talented best-girl (thank you, Pretty).

It was very valuable help so that I could get my ish together on the second half of that show, which features my more luminescent stuff. It will be on the lower level of the Labyrinth Gallery, in the dark. The other pieces are upstairs so if you come, be sure to work your way around the space. It truly fits it's name. Beware of tight corners.

Where's the third? Check the next post...
