Confess/Consider

My first solo painting show took place on friday, March 9th 2007 at Joy Engine Gallery in Boulder. The turnout was great, the place was consistently packed 'til 2 am, people came from all over to enjoy the fresh sights and sounds that I arranged for the evening. Props to GSP (The Mechanik, Bone, & Freddy) who arranged remixes just for the show, and to Jantsen & DJ Technic 9 who held the vibe down after them. The show stayed up for a month, and most of them have found new homes by now. While I was in Europe, TB approached me about first having a show (fall 2006), but my erratic travel habit didn't land me back to my studio until Mid-january - just in time to start school full-time... I pulled it off somehow, 20 new paintings in 5 crazy weeks, themed and flowing on recycled cabinet doors. I really gave what felt like everything at the time... I really feel blessed and thankful it went off so well, and am honored I was extended the opportunity to show my work by the folks at JoyEngine/Cypher 13.

Formally, I’d like to thank everyone who pitched into making the night happen: GSP, for use of a studio/place to crash for a month; crucial. The Mechanik Freddy, and Bone synchronized their set to my work and I to theirs, and even remixed some tracks I passed for them to pick through... now that's a fresh take on audiovisual art! Thank you Jantsen, Lynx, and Technic 9 who also came and threw down the fresh beats. The whole Cypher 13 posse who helped with the crazy install and last minute scrambles, and finally everyone else who came through to support, and everyone who kept giving me encouragement when I was pullin' studio all nighters straight to morning classes.
