Coming Together

This is really going to be fun!
The space is a bit out of the way, about 50 ft, but I've got that solved! I have a loud and proud cross dressing man friend, and he is going to go all out to help send the people our way.
Now, on to find a female exhibitionist, for my live, life drawing. I got the OK for wine tasting, and we are going to bring crackers, dip and cheeses. Gotta love Cash 'n' Carry!
This is going to be a real blast!
Kathy Conrad's Pin up Girls, Larry Iverson's erotic photography, and my encaustic and oil nudes! This is going to be a fun night.
Magnus was a great guy; he gets the artist! Not many do, really. Most just look at us like an exotic species of bug, that hopefully won't land on them, lol!!
Magnus loaned us sandwich boards, and had lots of helpful advice.
I'll report more when I have it to report. I have stuff to plan, and work to finish!

I'm very excited!

August 26, 2010, I'm curating and participating in, an exhibition of erotic artworks! :]
The Last Thursday, in the Alberta district, here in Portland Or, is a fantastic event; it reminds me of the street fairs that I grew up with. I'm 48 and I remember the street fairs of the Sixties and Seventies, very well.
The tentative title of the exhibition is Blue Light Under the Moonlight: Local Erotica.
This will be fun, and I look forward to the huge turn out. If it works out, I'm thinking of seeing if we can get a local winery to come and host a tasting, along with our show.
Tomorrow we meet with the gallery owner, and I'll know more, from there.
Press releases to write, snacks to think about, busy, busy, busy!!

Work in Progress, these things are devilishly hard to photograph!

I'm really amazed at how hard these encaustic pieces are to photograph. Yeesh!
Here's the latest piece, it's nearly done. Just some shellac to add to the mix!
Her face is hidden behind a blindfold; she is looking down.
This one is 12" x 12", on panel.

Unbelievably Busy!

I've been swamped! But, I've been productive. I have to get batteries. My camera batteries died, my recharger isn't working, so I can't post the newest encaustic. I will remedy that ASAP!
She came out really well. The shadows are better than I had hoped for. The wax is such a wonderful medium. I just love it!
