I won best in show for the unjuried portion of Heart of Chaos‘ Urban Geography show! There were a lot of great artists in the show, and I’m very grateful to have been awarded this honor. Key events besides the accolades were meeting Miguel Machuca, who is a very talented abstract painter in a very similar vein as myself, and doing a live painting demo. Thanks to Heart of Chaos and Brooks College for a great night.

Wayne Jiang is one of the best painters I know. I was just thinking the other night that I need to link up to his site from here, so.. I have. The piece depicted above is especially dear to me as it reminds me of the neighborhood I used to live in.

we did a preliminary round of photography tonight on the latest works. Here’s one shot as a teaser:
