Don't much come around these parts often. But it's been busy. Busy moving, working, dealing with The Man, and that kind of stuff.
Appointed to Arts and Culture Commission
So, I found out this week that I have officially been appointed to the Reno Arts & Culture Commission :)
I'm pretty excited about this. The art community here has some good momentum and I think with some work this place has the potential to go far. Now I have a great opportunity to help with that :)
Recovering From NadaDada

If anyone reading this happens to be in Reno during the dates of the show, please come see me at the Lido Inn, room #312 :

Ok, first off, if you are one of those people who puts the DA watermark on top of your image, please understand this is not meant to be a personal attack on you, just the expression of one man's opinion.
