Made a little trip to San Gabriel Valley to get a piece framed for an exhibit I'll showing in on June 11th. My friend Minoru did an amazing job on the frame. Here's his website:

The frame is made of maple and has a thin stain on it. I really love when the character of the wood shows through the stain. Minoru and I really wanted to the frame to have a hand made quality to it. I wanted to see the nots and grain changes. So happy.
Early March I was at Riverside City College as a Guest Artist presenting my work and the work of some CalArts students. I screened 4 films: Nelson Boles- "This One Time", Trevor Jones- "Sasquatch and the Girl", and Kirsten Lepore "Bottle".
Thanks to Will Kim for inviting over. Here's his site: http://www.willkim.net/
I know I have been neglecting you, for that, I am sorry. But I had good reason! Here's what I've been up to in a nutshell:
I spent time at the University of Hawaii as a guest artist, lecturing and teaching two drawing workshops. I must admit, I had a spectacular group of students in Hawaii and by the second day they were really pulling out amazing work. The model was stunning and creative. I will give credit to Linda Dorn for working with these kids to become the thinkers they are. They are blessed to have Linda as a teacher. I always admired her animation and designs.
