LAST WEEK'S INTERESTINGS #90

My lovely friend Nydia (super cool) has faithfully pointed me in the direction of her friends' blogs before. Nydia & said cool friends came out to the Pen 15 Press & Friends Open Studio last Friday night, which was a lovely surprise! One of those friends is Jelsen of Last Week's Interestings. To my excitement, Jelsen featured some images of my work & the Pen 15 show on Last Week's Interestings today:

This is a detail of my book, Visitor: A Collection, a work in progress.

This is a view from the wall I'm on, Andrew Bernero's work is in the foreground. Andrew, among nearly all the other artists in the show, was one of my co-conspirators in undergrad at SUNY Purchase. It was an honor to show with so many talented friends.

Thanks Jelsen! Thanks Pen 15! Thanks to all my friends who came out to the show!

Pen 15 Press & Friends at Bushwick Open Studios

It is official, I will be showing new work debuting at Bushwick Open Studios on June 4th. My good pals at Pen15 Press invited me and some great folks to show work at their home/headquarters.

All of the information is available here. The opening is Friday, June 4th at 7pm. Friday is unfortunately the only night I'll be there, as I will be helping Jason Andrew at Norte Maar / Storefront for the rest of the weekend. So please come by!
