Till next time.

Celebrated British artist David Hockney will receive a lifetime career achievement award by Pasquale Celona, President of the Florence Biennale during the nine day event. And coincidently, I'll be living in Italy this October and November to get a head start on what's sure to be an amazing show of international proportions. I'll be checking email periodically so feel free to say hello. Check back for pics in December.
8/16/04--------------------------------------------- The Raw Arts Festival I was a part of in London earlier this month was "brilliant" as Piers like's to say. You can read up on all the happenings here. Anne Grgich's "Miniatures" group show at the Mark Wooley gallery in Portland last week was also a huge hit. The show went over fabulously well and quite a bunch of the work was sold opening night. Look for an upcoming Miniatures show in Hollywood later in the year. For those interested in seeing something new, I've posted a few of the Totem series on the New Works page. And if your interested in seeing what the work looks like at the house, see here. for now...
7/13/04--------------------------------------------- Just finished putting some new pics on the "new works" page. This is a bit of a departure from what you're used to seeing. The finishes on these are exquisite with a glass like resin. Also the're a bit smaller than much of what I'm used to working with. You should start to see some larger pieces in this style in the coming months.
7/5/04----------------------------------------------- New: I will be part of the group show titled "Miniatures" at the Mark Woolley Gallery in Portland OR. the first week of Aug. The show will be curated by Anne Grgich Also a one man show towards the end of 2004 in Nashville. More information to come.
4/25/04--------------------------------------------- New things coming my way:I will I will be a part of GuitarTown, a public arts
project that will feature fifty 10-foot tall fiberglass Gibson Les Paul
model guitars is set to launch in April 2004. All oversize guitar sculptures
will be by local and nationally acclaimed visual artists and placed
throughout Nashville in front of the city's landmarks and businesses
for a period of one year. I'll be in London the first week of August to be part of Englands bigest RawArts Festival featuring raw, primitive and marginal artists from around the globe. If your planning on attending, make sure to let me know. There will also be a very big announcement concerning my work later this summer. It will allow my work to be seen in a whole new light and by a much larger audience. 2/20/04---------------------------------------------------- Lots of new things coming down the pike! 2004 is sure to be a great year. First up, I've been invited to participate in the Raw Arts Festival in London later this year. The Fair will be curated and organized by Piers Midwinter and will include Folk/Intuitive/Marginalised/Self-taught and Visionary art. The festival aims to bring together both organizations and artists in the ‘Outsider art’ field. Blurbs on the festival can be found in Raw Vision and Art News. I will also be a part of Internal Guidance Systems, an exhibition representing a critical cross-section of artists from the vanguard of a new modern movement in visionary art. The two year traveling exhibit, to be curated by Anne Grgich, will kick-off later this year and travel across the US and Europe. And on a bit of a lighter note, I donated the usage of one my earlier pieces to be used in conjunction with Fat Tuesday celebration in Nashville. All proceeds will go to benefit the boys and girls club of Middle Tennessee. And finally--sorry to all of you that where looking forward to seeing a new show of my work in March--it is being pushed back a couple of months to accommodate my studio moving to a much bigger space that month. And until next time...

You can check out the new space here.Been working on a new series of works centered around animals which will be for an upcoming book I've been working on for a couple of years now. Hoping to have something close to finished by the middle of the year. As for any upcoming shows - nothing has been put together as of this writing but there's at least two shows - one in the bay area and another here in Nashville that are on the back burner. Also Been hangin'out with a lot of great people in Nashville, a few very well known musicians / painters who've been teaching me a bit of the southern ways. Well until next time ;)

Sorry to all of you trying to find this site the last month, just switched my provider and site name - make a note. The show in Nashville a few months ago went pretty good, and left me with nothing but praise for the people in TN. You can now purchase my work through TAG Art Gallery in Nashville as well as fine prints soon to me made available through Cannonball Fine Art, which I just finished up details with on a world wide publishing contract promising to take my work to many new areas. There will be new shows coming soon in the bay area and Nashville - stay tuned. For all those interested in seeing what the space in Oakland looked like just before July's show, take a look here. In December I will be relocating (once again) to Nashville where I'm sure that the Southern hospitality will keep me humble, cause' we all need a bit of that! Oh and don't let me forget to thank "all of you" for all the emails and encouragement in the last few months, I really appreciate it.
6/3/02--------------------------------------------------------------

For those in the left coast, there will be both a group and a one man show coming up later this summer in the Bay Area - check back for specifics. Thanks again for all your support and I'll always try to answer your emails, so don't hesitate to write.

Well, had a wonderful time in La La land a couple of weeks ago. The Group show at La Luz was great! Lots of really amazing work and some great people to share it with. Which of course left me a bit run down for the show in the Bay area the week after. Been in talks about two more shows in and around San Francisco with in the next six months plus I'm in talks about a publishing and merchandising contract with some folks in The San Francisco area, which I'm looking forward to. I've also been speaking with a very well known national art dealer which I'll update you all on at a later date. I'll be adding a links page soon for all the great people I've met the last year, uh Todd, so make sure to check them out in a week or so. I've got my work cut out for me for a while - so better get my ass back to painting. peace.
