Currently Working On...

This is the corkboard where I keep things I'm currently working on. Do we still say "corkboard"?

Went to a party to celebrate this fantastic mural by Jeff Zimmerman. It will probably be finished by tomorrow.

Public Artist's Loft

I've seen Michelle Oka Doner's work a lot while researching different types of public art projects: terrazzo, floors, airports, etc. What a treat to see her home featured in one of my favorite design blogs, sfgirlbybay - check it out here!

Nashville

Twist Gallery








Paint Made Flesh at the Frist - It was a great show! I love the Frist! But you are not allowed to take pictures so I had to buy the book.




But I did take some notes, and made a sketch in the medieval exhibit.
