This week has been crazy. A week and a half ago I found an open call for two person shows at Trestle Gallery in Brooklyn, NY. Naturally I asked my friend Julia if she would be interested in putting something together for it since she already lives in Brooklyn. She did, and then I decided to start a new body of work for my half of the images to submit. I am glad that I did. I think they are strong images and I think that they work well with Julia’s stuff. Hopefully the folks at Trestle Gallery will agree and we will get a show and I will be in New York City for the first time ever with my art. That would be great. Keep your fingers crossed.
Here are a few of the images that I put together for our proposal.
Of course, like most of my weeks, as soon as I was finished with my pieces for that proposal I became quickly aware that it was already the sixth of February and I didn’t have this month’s Thursday Night Throwdown poster done. So I brainstormed ideas on a walk home from the coffee shop and started some thumbnails and ended up riffing off of the Edward Hopper piece Nighthawks. I’m sure you’ll see the resemblance.
It’s a pretty dope poster though. I am super stoked with it. Hope you are doing well and feeling as productive as I feel this week. Only one more day until the weekend. Rock it out.
Peace
