Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow - Last Chance!

The exhibit Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow closes on Saturday Feb 26th, so these are the last two days you'll have a chance to view it! My book I Used to Wear Diapers is on exhibit and I was very pleased with the gallery's handling and presentation of it. Thank you UCF Art gallery- especially for having an open call juried art show. I hope the gallery plans on hosting more exhibits like this one.

Tim Freed from The Central Florida Future (which, thanks to my work here at the University Archives, I have touched every single issue produced since its beginnings on Oct. 7, 1968) wrote a very nice article about the exhibit. I was one of the artists he interviewed for the article and I very much appreciated that the quotes he chose don't make me sound too silly, although I did notice the "kinda" that I slipped in there. I have only myself to blame for talking like a country bumpkin. Check out the article here.

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

I will be showing my book, I Used to Wear Diapers, at the juried art show entitled Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow at the UCF Art Gallery. The shows runs from January 26th to February 26th and the opening reception is January 26th from 6pm-8pm. The opening reception sounds like it will be a blast: free admission, free food, music by Joseph Keebler, and performances by Hemisphere Dance Company.

1st, 2nd, and 3rd place ribbons will be awarded as well as a Director's Purchase Award and a Provost's Purchase Award (both of which I have opted out of because I am not ready to sell my book). I assume the awards will be given out at the opening reception. The only thing I've seen for the show so far are the sneak peek images on the website, but if those are any indication of the quality of work this is going to be a classy show! If you feel like coming out it looks like there will be a multitude of fantastic art. 

Preparing for MOFAC

Here's a picture I forgot to share. This was the day before I took all my art down to Avon Park. I laid everything out on the floor to make sure nothing made me want to sing "One of these things is not like the other,/ one of these things just doesn't belong..." You may be able to notice that I only had to reframe four prints; that's not too much craziness for the day before. Luckily I don't have a picture of the hurricane state that I left the rest of the apartment in as I tore everything out of their portfolios to decide if anything else needed to be framed and included. I didn't find anything else suitable, unfortunately. I had been looking forward to including at least some state of my Big Kitty print, but it is so big that it will continue looking too naked until I get it completely fleshed out.
