the live/work space has been under construction and oh boy, is it ever looking good :)
ryan and his dad put up a wall and a door -- dividing the commercial space. won and i are in the process of dividing the carriage house loft space, and building a "creative" wall, installation art style. we're also painting a mural on the main wall in the loft -- well he started, i'm intimidated and haven't begun yet.
i painted both bathrooms -- blues and greens. we need more paint! hopefully we get some free paint donations in the next week.
we installed a fridge, a stove, a sink, and some shelves, too.
i had 2 art shows/openings this month.....
in the beginning of this month -- one was at the sports basement on 15th st & bryant in san francisco, called "comment here." this was a group show that i got involved with because of a lady that also showed some artwork with me last September with RAW. we had cork boards up next to each artist's work that people could post their hand written paper comments onto. everything went quite well, the sports basement provided free beer/wine/food, and several good friends showed up to enjoy the casual fun :)
a week later i had some art hung in a group show at blue seed resource alignment's fundraiser event in an awesome live/work warehouse space in the mission district. the opening had some sweet bartenders, mellow live music, delicious snacks, and a bunch of great people involved. oh yeah, and a raffle! they strategically setup a camera to take pictures the entire night for a time lapse video -- which i'll be sure to post a link to soon :)
i'll be teaching summer camp full time in the east bay in about a week and a half until the end of july! graphic design + digital photography instructor to 5th through 9th graders. it's gonna be a whole new kind of summer for me. not to mention there are thunder lightning storms in sf this weekend and it's june?
in august, good friends are getting married, a good friend from boston is coming to visit, and i'm hoping to travel to michigan to visit my mother and the rest of my fam jam :)
good times ahead!
