Dusting off the internet

So I haven’t done a legitimate update in a while now. Mostly due to laziness but also because I haven’t had too much I felt was blogworthy. But! Since this is 2011, which is officially the Year of The Esther, I have a few goodies coming along.

I made a few funny little acrylic paintings lately as well as some other secret projects with my good friend Tom Holt on our art-making Mondays. This one:

is for the Bijutsu Art Sale happening Friday May 6th at the Upton Gallery on Buffalo State Campus. 100% of the sales go to the Japan Earthquake Relief Fund and there should be items ranging from $10-$250. A really nice way to pick up some art and not feel bad for spoiling yourself with it.

I am also doing a project with my roommate Allison Brady for Artists & Models this year. This will be my first time doing an installation/performance piece so I am kind of nervous but really excited. I have been gathering my supplies like a madwoman and hopefully it will be an enjoyable work for everyone involved and every guest I force to participate (all of them!).

I also have a great summer project lined up with one Mr. Brian Milbrand which, if we get our act together and it comes out exactly as envisioned, could be pretty impactful. I have wanted to do it for ages so I am pretty excited.

I have a few other things that aren’t set in stone but when they are I might do some babbling on the subject matter, but until then I leave you with this kind of goofy little painting of a hyena I did on an old piece of the Burchfield Penney’s fancy wood flooring that got water damaged and ripped up.
