thief in the throng/live long and prosper

2/28/2015

there is a group show hanging at miller gallery right now that i recently completed this painting for. it's a continuation of the rust belt series (which i thought i was done with, but apparently not). the show opened wednesday (feb 25) and runs a couple of weeks. also being shown are some really cool pieces by ryan flanagan, david michael beck, bruce riley and a slew of other regional artists, all to welcome new ownership of the gallery.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
also, i'd be remiss if i didn't mention the passing of leonard nimoy, which many were saddened to hear about recently. what a great man, character actor, and influence on science and the arts in general, and movie and comic book culture specifically. a character so realized only comes to us once in a great while and helps shape our american mythology (of course spock wasn't american or even from earth, but his creator was). LLAP.

for a better world 2011 (poem by fred tarr) graphite on paper, 10" x 7", 2011

january saw the closing of the cincinnati portfolio show at carnegie arts center (see a few entries down), and an opening at the greenwich tavern, just northeast of downtown cincinnati. the latter is a group of illustrations for a local publication that i have had the honor of being in a few times now. exhibited are pieces from the 2011 book, but i believe i will be jumping in again in the 2015 edition. here is a good summary from the greenwich facebook page:
University of Cincinnati professor Saad Ghosn is editor and creator of the acclaimed publication, "For a Better World 2011," a unique compilation of poems and drawings. The book features work from over 100 Greater Cincinnati artists--in the fields of both literary and visual arts--who collaborated on the common theme of peace and justice. Each poet's work is accompanied with strong visual imagery that evokes both the mind and spirit. Original drawings and poems from this publication will be featured in a group showing of sociopolitical expression at The Greenwich on Friday, January 23rd. Readings of poetry are scheduled for 8 PM. The visual art exhibit runs through March 15th
