My paitings from the show

Smoke and mirrors but no smoke

So the art show was a success.

The smoke machine didn't work though. Hence the tittle but it was still awesome.

There was a huge turnout, we even had the token wino passed out on the sidewalk in front of the gallery, and the person that i wanted to come most of all (Byron) came, everyone else I invited either didn't show witch is cool (I know people are scarred to drive to downtown) or did show but only hung out for a little bit because the Alcohol ran out (priorities.) Best thing about that was someone went out and bought a bunch more.

But anyway, the art show created hype (we all got really great feedback,) brought people together, and gave us all a great sense of accomplishment. Nick and Erik did a great job putting it together and Kendall is a Saint for letting us invade his art gallery.

Molly From Vivi Dot also made us some kick ass pins to hand out at the show. I will take pictures and post some of those soon too.

Hopefully I will have some pictures to post soon. I took some with my Holga and new Holga flash!
This should become an annual thing though I expect that this has lit a spark of creativity between all of us and I presume that we will be putting other gallery shows together, this time with more art and more more more.

Bette also took some pictures on her Blog. I would check them out if you want to see some pictures of the art on the walls and such.

Here are two pictures I showed since I don't have pictures of the gallery opening to show right now.

This is a new flyer for the MRA art show i'm going to be in this month

I've got some interesting pieces I am going to be showing.
I should be going to the art space today to see what it looks like. Seems like we will be making a mural in there. I am so excited!

Check out my livejournal for my inner thoughts

I think i'm going to stop writing lengthy things in this blog. I want to keep it simple and uncomplicated but I still like to write every now and then, so if you want to read you can checkout my Livejoural for all my silly rants.


Here's Cameron working his magic. This was taken with the Leica that Bette let me try out.

I am also working on camerons Blog and websites.

He made a pipe for Prince's manager. I'll upload pics to his blog and then put a link on here you can check it out.

Friends

What is life without good friends to hang out with?

If we had all our should of, would of, could of's, we'd rule the world.

This is one of the very few family portraits we ever took.

After all these years I can finally see what the destruction of this unit has done to my father and my little brother. My brother has become an unemotionally detached young man, and my father is a severely ill humble man with no one too look after him talk to him and keep him safe. 

Dad,

May you find solace in my love. When you leave this world I know you are not leaving me, you will be in my heart always. The most wondeful person I know, the reason I breathe, the reason I carry on.

Aplastic Anemia

My father has been diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia. Aplastic Anemia if you care to know.So it's such a rare desease that only 3 in 1 Million are diagnosed with it each year in the US.He's in the ICU in Cleveland Ohio and the treatments have given him an allergic reaction.Poor guy! I wish I was there.The Doctor said it was serious, and doctors never say that unless they mean it.

Sean

My brother and I used to be so close.

I used to take tons of pictures of him when he was little, I mean tons!

I feel like shit today

Mentally and god knows what else.



I was such a sad looking kid, not to mention I looked like a boy.
Life is strange. Sometimes I thik I have the best life, I should think like that, and sometimes I just feel like nothing. It doesn't help to have a huge fight with someone you care about the night before you are going in to get and ultrasound and a biopsy to test for cancer.

This is where my dad lives.

he lives in a converted garage.
