Its an honor and a blessing to announce that my truck house sculptures are being sent to the beautifully green island of Ireland to be on exhibition in Galway's 126 Gallery.

Oakland's own Blankspace Gallery and 126 Gallery have done an exhibition exchange, curating shows in one another's spaces.

If you're in Oakland, be sure to check out "How do you know?" at Blankspace. The show features a variety of exceptional work from 16 Irish artists.

if you're in Galway, check out Mythologies at 126. The show has current work from Lena Reynoso, Crystal Morey, Sam Lopes, Renée Gertler, my grad school guru Samara Halperin, my dear amigo Brian Caraway and myself.


Now keep truckin' amigos!

If you're on the north coast this summer, be sure to drop by First St. Gallery in old town Eureka to check out the Humboldt State University Alumni show, ANIMALIA ALUMNA ARTISFABRICUS. The show will be up through the 12th of September and features the work of Erika Botkin, Allison Harrington, Alyse LaVerne, Joshua Martinez, Justin Mitman, Christopher West, Erin Whitman and is in memorium of the late Nancy Finch-Halliday.

The kind folks at KQED visited our show a few weeks ago and have featured our exhibition in their online Gallery Crawl series. Take a moment to watch and share in the love.....

I am stoked to announce that I have been invited to participate in Southern Exposure's 9th annual Monster Drawing Rally! There will be over 100 bay area artists making drawings that will be on sale moments after their completion for a mere $60 each. I can guarantee that this will be a spectacle not to be missed. The rally will be taking place on Friday February 27th from 6-11 p.m. at Verdi Club with sounds provided by Bo Derelict and tacos for sale thanks to El Tonayense's truck. Till then amigos............
