this is the first painting i’ve shown publicly from the new collection, the “next step”  which I hope to find a show for this summer.

I’ve been making new work at a good rate lately and it seems to be strong.  Next step has been a huge evolution with figures dominating the new work and an easy balance coming with that change from the stellar abstracts of Neurotica 2008.  I’m deep in the work.  I’ll take some photos tomorrow of the etudes and a couple of finished works too.

Be well.

I built a new host to WRUV.ORG’s new music reviews.  It’s based on a standard Wordpress install and the default Kubrick theme.  It seems nearly perfectly suited to our volume and complexity.  We have about 60 new reviews in there and are getting the reviewing army up to speed.  Should be interesting….

It’s almost the end of 2008, a year I’m fairly certain most of us will not really miss. For me it’s been a year of consistency, some breakthroughs, some losses. There is lots of room for improvement in the year ahead, particularly at work and in my art.

Currently still pondering buying a house, condo or duplex and not finding anything yet that is knocking me down.
