Show Notes & Updates • Twitch.tv launch • Summer 2016
A lot has been going on in my art & life this summer!
Thank you to all who continually support my art journey, and new followers, thank you for joining me! I am grateful for the conversations I am able to generate and participate in.
This year has been full of art blessings and productivity. Although I lost my computer repair job due to my store closing in early June, and at the same time had to attend to my father who was injured in an accident, I am happy to report that I have a new artist-friendly day job and my dad is speeding down the road to recovery so well that even his doctors are impressed!
Twitch.tv Launch
During this time of uncertainty I was able to focus on my family, and on my art practice, taking the exciting step to start producing a web series of live streams of my art, viewable on Twitch.tv!
I do web broadcasts of my art process! Check my Twitch page for schedules!
Show Announcements & Show Notes
I also had a recent piece, Acid and Salt, accepted to the Sand City juried art show that will take place during the West End celebration in August!
"Acid and Salt" will be on view at the West End Celebration the last weekend of August and is currently on view at YAC as part of their Summer Art Show.
I am also currently exhibiting at Youth Arts Collective for their Summer Show!
This is my 9th year exhibiting with Youth Arts Collective. I joined as a student and now am an alumni/resident. It is so rewarding to not only be able to continue receiving mentor advice from the fabulous founders & art mentors, Meg, Marcia, Andrew, and Germain, as well as the community of artists YAC brings together.
I was able to have a very fascinating conversation about perception, reality, synesthesia, and whether computers will be able to have near-human intelligence in the future! Art has a way of opening these avenues of discussion.
I debuted a new print that I am in the process of making into t-shirts, patches, and other merch!
This summer has passed in a flash and I am very regretful that I will not be attending Burning Man this year. However, I am laying a lot of good career and art groundwork right now in my hometown that I trust will lead me back to the playa in 2017. And, to have my art accepted to a juried exhibition the same week as Burning Man is a good consolation! As much as I love posting up in Center Camp and drawing people all week, I am thrilled for the other opportunities 2016 continues to throw my way.
Look forward to more content videos, more merchandise, and exciting collaborations as we roll quietly into Fall!
