Open Studios

Cleaning

Open Studios is the time when most of us do a really good cleaning of our studios.  (For some of us, it's really the only time we clean our studios!)  I try to get most everything done  the day before so I can have a relaxing day before everybody starts coming.  The above photo is a "before" image -- to see it cleaned and presented, you'll have to stop by this weekend!  Here's the info again:

Fri. April15, 6-9pm

Sat-Sun, April 16-17, 11am-6pm

1890 Bryant St. Studios, #318 (at Mariposa)
San Francisco

See you there!!

Open Studios This Weekend!

Yes, it's that time again (time to clean the studio!) -- Open Studios in the Mission.  When I'm working in the studio, I'm completely focused on the canvas in front of me and everything else seems to take a "back seat" so I've got 6 months of detritus to deal with!  Not to worry, though, I always leave the last week before Open Studios to clean up and this week is no exception.  I hope all of you who are in or around  San Francisco will be able to stop by this weekend -- I have lots of new work (as usual) including the painting above called "Your Future's So Bright (You Gotta Wear Shades!)"  Here are the details:

Preview at FLAX, San Francisco

My painting, "Punk Under Gloomy Skies" will be featured all month long in the FLAX Preview Show for next week's Mission Open Studios.  If you're in San Francisco, the opening is this Thurs April 7, 6-8pm at the FLAX Store on Mission at Valencia.

Mission Artists United is an organization to which I belong that seeks to raise the visibility of artists in the Mission District of San Francisco -- home to the highest concentration of artists in the city.  MAU is responsible for Spring Open Studios in the Mission, and through it's relationship with Howard Flax, was able to arrange this preview show at his store.  For more info about MAU and to download an Open Studios Guide go to:
