Phase 1 is done! Gonna let this one simmer for a bit while I ponder the next phase in my subconscious. The answer will invariably come to me in the shower.

Well that was an interesting experience! Big thanks to my crew for helping man my booth this weekend, and for going to the No Kings march in my stead!

Friends! Countrymen! Come see some great art and have a good time on Friday! I've got two of my favorite paintings - one old, one new- in the Fulton Street Collective's October show, which coincides with the building-wide open house. C'mon down!

The roof rack method works! I can now transport my 4x4s (one at a time) without needing to borrow/rent a larger vehicle. Freedom!
