Solo Show at Muse Coffee

The newest series, “Shades of Grey”, explores the tension created when the focal point (a person’s face) is overshadowed by a red object on a grey page. Our eye is trained to look at the face, however the brain overrides that desire by forcing the eye to jump to the red object. The tension that is created encourages you pause to contemplate the story of the composition.

Check it out through Jan. 2009 at Muse Coffee (on 10th Ave. W.) on Queen Anne in Seattle.

Wow, can you say MIA?

But alas I'm back. Norm is going to spend a little time at "camp" - like a whole month. We just need to get away from each other for a while. And lets just say Norm needs to learn something new. You know how it is when 2 people spend 24/7 together... eventually you just have to split up and do your own thing. Norm is going to what I call "book camp". Hopefully he will read all sorts of books that we don't already have in the house (knowing him, he'll stick to the familiar initally, but I'm sure something new will catch his fancy and he will run with it). Anyway, "book camp" is at Fremont Place Book Co. He will be there for the whole month of Oct. He will be the only "camper" (eg paintings) there, so do stop by and say Hi to him - and make sure he is reading something I would approve of - the last thing I need is for him to start reading trashy romance novels!

Fremont Place Book Co. is in the heart of Fremont (Seattle) by Jai Thai, Simply Desserts, Blue C Sushi, PCC, Peets Coffee (need I say more) - oh yea, and Frank & Dunya.

IF: Fog

This is from a new series that I am working on for a solo show coming up in January 2009 at Muse Coffee on Queen Anne in Seattle. The whole series (as I see it right now) is going to be shades of grey with just a bit of red.

The series reminds me a lot of FOG - you never know what's really out there, it could be good, it could be bad, and it could be great. The point is it's out there, no matter what it is.
