the thesis show reception—may 5th, 6 to 8pm

Reception: May 5th / Exhibition: May 1st—16th

“The Thesis Show,” the culmination of my two years at the School of Visual Arts, officially opens to the public on May 1st, but you may attend the opening reception on the evening of Tuesday, May 5th, from 6 to 8 PM. There you can meet me, see some art, a gorgeous view of the Hudson River, and have a glass of (bad) wine. The Visual Arts Gallery is located at 601 West 26th Street, between 11th and 12th Avenues, on the 15th floor. If you can't make it then, the show is open through May 16th. Regular gallery hours are Monday to Saturday, 10AM—6PM. 

the washington post - real estate section

This week I was hired by The Washington Post to do the illustration for their lead story in this weekend's Real Estate section. The story deals with the difficulty first time home buyers are experiencing securing loans in the current economic climate. As a result, many people are turning to their families for help. (Yes, I do have some personal experience in this area. ;>) The online version has a rather bizarre crop, so I'm hoping the print version shows the whole image, seen here. The shoes make the men...and women...at least I think so.

how do you get on a carnegie hall playbill cover? - part 2

Patience, patience, patience. It looks a little more like Christmas than Spring, but here it is, finally. Last summer, one of my pieces was chosen to don the March 2009 Carnegie Hall Playbill covers. While I am disappointed with the choice of background colors, it's still flattering to know that each night for a month, 7000 music lovers are holding a piece of my art in their hands. And there's a very nice credit inside next to a thumbnail of the uncropped piece.

guyraffe

My thesis advisor, Guy Billout 

came to the studio the other 

day to discuss my wash images, 

and help me improve upon 

them. “Trust the wash,” he 

says. The result, the next day, 

was this little guy here I'm 

affectionately naming "Guyraffe."
