The Last Step

The last (and tedious) step before the pieces for the 2011 Project can be distributed.  Each one needs an individual label.  I can’t trust self-stick labels to stay on, so each one is glued by hand.

Waiting for Selection...

Over the past two weeks 2011 Project supporters have been selecting the pieces they want to receive.  The project has also gained some new supports that will also be receiving individual pieces.  Over half of the 365 pieces have been selected, but there is still time to support the project and select an original 4”x4” piece(s).  The pieces shown above are still available.  The supporters page indicates which ones have already been chosen (marked with red borders), the remaining pieces are still available for $40 each (or 4 for $100).  Contact me if you’d like to have some art and support the 2011 Project and future art projects.

Getting ready for distribution

The 2011 Project has reached the distribution phase.  Soon the 365 pieces will be distributed to project supporters who will curate them for a number of years.  At some point in the future they will be regrouped for a show.  One should think of each individual piece like an art time capsule.  This week project supporters are making their selections.  If you’re interested in becoming a supporter and curating a piece(s), let me know.

Happy 100th Birthday MUNI!

Inspiring Stamps

As I look back at 2012 I see that the 2011 Project continues to play itself out as a sketchbook for future work.  The stamp thing all started with this little piece back in January 2011 (shown above).  Now I’ve added a number of new and larger stamp pieces with certainly more to come in 2013.

Día de los Muertos

One of my favorite holidays and one of my favorite pieces from the 2011 Project.  I think I got a little carried away this year.  My entire apartment smells like marigolds.

Pink Week

Pink is admittedly not the most common color in my palette.  But with 365 pieces for the 2011 Project, there were inevitably going to be a few pink pieces.  This one titled Keep This Coupon is going up to Sacramento for Pink Week.   

This year’s Pink Week show will be at Bows & Arrows at 1815 19^th Street in Sacramento.  The show opens November 2 with an opening reception from 6-9 p.m. and runs through December 5^th, 2012.
