We thought it would be a good idea to get this out of the way before Robin headed back to school and I started into the fall with my new projects. We hustled through it to get to the end of “phase one”. It is such an improvement of the space. We only wish we had more funds to get the rest of it done.

The project started because the “stars were aligned”. We can say they were not that way for long! When a project like this begins… it can never be done fast enough!

Note: the boys were “troopers” through all the people in and out of the house and all the dust. It was a very good thing when the dust settle and they got their bath!

Thursday, August 28th @ The Little Theatre in Rochester’s East End.

This is the first collaboration between AIGA Upstate New York and the Rochester Ad Federation.

It is an attempt to pull people from the creative community together for a social evening out and to shine some light on the Little.

Thanks for coming to my talk.

I had a blast. Talk soon.

I will be catching up on my site and adding a good chunk of content about “Web Design for Artists”. I will be giving a talk at the Glass Art Society Annual conference. Very exciting stuff. I promise to practice (about) everything I preach!

Every year for the past 20+ years, there is a big whose-who of Rochester NY musicians playing the music in celebration of Bob Dylan. Some great local talent is this duo… the Wayward Girls.

Here is there song they performed…

This is a project that is happening in my neighborhood… right down the street, actually. I did not know anything about it and the proposal to move forward was just released. With-OUT public input. So I am helping the South Wedge Planning Committee put a video together.

Clients come first… of course. Been working hard on a new site for MAX of Rochester. Should be up early to mid june. Then my other time is being spent making 6X6 works for Rochester Contemporary exhibition. Then I will focus on … mydarndest.

Trying to get the web site updated. Using WordPress 2.5. Going well so far.
