These Friends @ This
This Los Angeles opens it’s doors Friday night and I’m delighted to be a part of the show. It’s only the beginning of an avalanche of goings on yet to come down the mountain. Hats off to my pal, Justin Van Hoy for sticking his hand in the fire. Judging from the heaping helping of talent on the walls, this show is gonna be a stunner!
HEIMAT!!!
My good buddy, Stefan Strumbel (Germany) is featured in The New York Times today – “Heimat”!
Additionally, here’s a great story of how Stefan and I came to be accquainted:
While on a ski trip in Vail, Colorado, my mom and step dad were at their favorite ski pub listening to Helmut Fricker, an accordion player they had become very fond of on previous visits. During the break, Helmut introduced my folks to his nephew, Stefan. It wasn’t long before mom figured out he was an artist and no longer than that before she made it crystal clear that her son was also a fellow thing maker. Within minutes of their meeting, I’m talking to Stefan on the phone (after an excitedly chaotic intro from mom). Since then, Stefan and I have kept in good touch. He was in the show I curated at Neurotitan (Berlin), we’ve collaborated on and produced a print that is currently available exclusively in Germany, and we have plans to do some other projects together including a large scale mural. This is one time where I’m glad my mom is such a people person and knows how to talk to strangers so well!

Visiting Artist Lecture at PAFA – 1.21.10
I was invited through Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art ’s Visiting Artist Series to spend 2 days at the school. I gave a talk and did studio visits with about 20 MFA candidates. Below is a video recording of the lecture that is not very exciting to watch, given the distant angle, but the audio is discernable. I had to bend the mic down to my laptop speakers to transmit the media sound, so that part gets a bit flattened. If you’re interested in hearing more about my work and background, you’ll find the video of interest, but this post is mostly for the person who insisted I record the lecture, so here you go, Mom!
