The Society OKC: Winter Small Works Auction & Fundraiser
The Society in Oklahoma City's Plaza District will be having a Winter Small Works Auction & Fundraiser on Dec 9th during the artwalk! This is a great cause to raise some funds to make OKC's awesome communal art space even more awesome!
I am a big fan of The Society and of its founder, my nice buddy and super artist Jerrod Smith. I think it's a breath of inspiring, fresh, forward-thinking air in this often-too-isolated Oklahoma art scene.

Back from San Diego and LA!
I'm back from my trip to the opening of "Homeroom" at Subtext Gallery in San Diego. The show was great and packed out all night. Here are some of my fave shots from the show.

New Piece for "Homeroom" Show in San Diego
Here is my piece for "Homeroom." I'm glad I finished it (barely) in time, since I had started another one initially but didn't feel it was working. Under-pressure-working to the rescue! I excel at it, although it stresses me out to the max!

Mixed media on board, 18x24
The mixed media in this piece is a combination of digital collage (I drew the patterns in Adobe Illustrator and printed them out and glued them to the girl. I thought some digital work would be a lovely nod to my graphic design background.) There is also gold leaf and shreds of a Japanese newspaper.
