pasSAGE

I have a few paintings on display at the University of Rochester's pasSAGE space in the Gleason Library entrance.  They will be up for about 9 months.  The paintings are a mix of 7 years of work,  nothing brand new.  I am missing an image of one painting, I will try to find it.   I was already told that our studio looks weird with nothing on the walls.  Time for new work then.

I wanted to post yesterday, but I didn't have any new pics.  So here is the birthday post for our dog, the one and only, Gino.  Happy Birthday buddy! I snapped a few pics of him, but just a few. He hated the camera.  For his birthday, he gained a mate named Chapel.  She is our foster and quite possibly the only dog that gets a long with Gino.  He adores her.  She has brought out a different dog in him.  If all goes well, we may adopt her, and the change her name to Snookie.  haha  Gino "the situation" and his girl Snookie.

I was hired to build three 5'x5' for a fellow painter in the building.   I  purchased a biscuit joiner and here is how it went down.

I am sorry. Worst. Post. Ever.

I suck at blogging

Just had to say it out loud.

Mee Kyung Shim

While walking down India Street in the heart of Little Italy in San Diego,  we came across the Mee Shim gallery.  This was a great space.  Up front was the gallery and in the far right corner a studio and storage space.  What amazed me was the artist is the owner of the gallery (or at least rented the space).  I thought that was pretty sweet!  We checked out the work and were surprised to see Mee Shim working on a commission piece while people wandered through the studio.  Jen and I said hello but didn't want to distract her.  I wanted to post about her because I thought her work was awesome.  I also think that it is great to see an artist support themselves in this way.  Here are a few images and a link to her site.  Video here.
