Updates

Well, I've been quite remiss in keeping up here. If my blog were toenails, they'd be all long and curly, sort of like these.

But I digress. I have some exciting projects coming up, and will be posting information here as I get it. I'm also working on a new series of 3D photo sculptures... more on that later.

Ongoing projects:

I'll be showing a brand-new piece at this year's VersionFest, which runs from April 23-May 2, so stop on by!

I'm moderating and organizing a panel discussion on intellectual freedom in the age of new media at the Columbia College Chicago Library as part of the NEA-sponsored Big Read on Monday, April 13, from 6-8 pm. Panelists will include Chicago Public Radio's Steve Edwards, Loyola University's Al Gini, new media artists Stacia Yeapanis and Jason Salavon, WBMX's DJ Sundance, and many others. This event is free and open to the public, so you have no excuse for not attending.

I'm curating an exhibition called Re:Figure at Columbia College's Glass Curtain Gallery, date TBD, which I'm quite excited about. It will showcase contemporary approaches to figurative representation across diverse media.

Whew, I'm exhausted just writing all that. More to come as I know it.

been a long time gone.

So, I've been a busy non-blogging bee. Shows, award applications, moving, etc have devoured my time as of late. Here's some new work by way of an apology.

The piece is tentatively titled Derek 1. It's a collaboration with well-known gay BDSM performer Derek da Silva. I found his tattoos fascinating, and so decided to clone them out and re-draw them on a large-scale print. Lovely.
