I came across Jeremy Gordaneer's Blog. I like his unique vision and how he depicts what he sees.

Jerry William's QuARTerly
I am featured in this Summer's Jerry William's QuARTerly. He found some work from a few years ago that has still life as a theme but is focused on a more internal vision than the crisp representation that I have been doing recently. There are a lot of parallels between the older and more recent work. There is a similarity in subjects, color and theme. I also see similarity in the geometry of the composition such as the strong horizon line.
It is interesting that Jerry found an old blog post to use as a statement. I think that works since my current statement about the work is focused on observation.

Studio Visits
Eugene Weekly was kind enough to list Studio C in the gallery listings. If you would like to visit please email me first. I am a new dad and my studio schedule is a little off.

Last Friday Art Walk
It is already time for the Last Friday Art Walk. I hope to see you here. It looks like it going to be a beautiful night. So that mean fun in Eugene. This picture is from my sketchbook. I drew this box of wine while at The Broadway Bistro & Wine Bar eating a roast beef sandwich before my life drawing class one Tuesday. I used my artistic license to alter the sign. It fits for tonight.Come by the studio and I will give you a glass of wine.
Maybe you saw my print in the Eugene Weekly. I will have "Munin" available framed and unframed. If you want to do something artsy for Last Friday I made a list of possibilities in an earlier post.

Fun With Art
I was thinking about the Last Friday Art Walk here in Eugene. It could be even more fun if the guerrilla artists came on down. Are there any more guerrilla artists?
Here are some ideas that anyone can do as a guerrilla artist.
Wear a trench coat. Hang art on the inside as if you are selling stolen watches. Get people to haggle with you. Sell it all.
Where a sandwich board displaying your art. Ring a bell. Proclaim "This is art"
Get arrested for showing art. If they let out meth dealers and car thieves after a few hours, how long could they keep you? Great for the resume.
Have an art parade.
Sell crayon portraits for a nickel. Be sure to bring change.
Compose instant poetry for people. Charge a penny a word.
Set up a shoeshine stand and offer to spray paint peoples sneakers gold or silver for $3.
Add your ideas to the comments.

Last Friday Art Walk
Fire Eating, Sword Swallowing, Marching Bands!
Beautiful dirty hipsters misspending their youth.
Punk Rockers selling gloomy art painted with tar on hunks of plywood.
Neo-Hippies hawking jewelery made out of old tires and pop cans.
That what SHOULD be at the Last Friday Art Walk. So get to it. Did you use up all your freak at Burning Man?
Download a map of everything on the Last Friday Art Walk.
I am posting this video again so you can find my studio.

Subconscious Servant
Follow this link to read an an interesting passage from Birge Harrison's book on Landscape Painting from nearly a hundred years ago. I own a copy of this book. I got it from my grandmother. It is interesting to for me to read books on painting from a long time ago. This book is especially interesting because it is written for a professional artist. Books on art now are mainly written for hobbyists. This passage on the subconscious servant talks about training your visual memory. It is interesting to hear from the voice of an traditional landscape painter before modernism started to emerge. I have enjoyed reading this book over and over for years. I had the chance to see one of his paintings in Atlanta in the Fall.
