Summer is almost over, and I’m now in SF gearing up for year two of CCA MFA-extravaganza.

Take a look at http://wonderlandshow.org/ to read about the various art projects happening this October at this show throughout SF’s Tenderloin neighborhood. I’ll be working within the ScreenLab Collective on an audio project called “Tender Transmissions”

I’m also working on a piece for the first Playspace Gallery show of the season

Thanks to those who were able to check out my drawings at Brooklyn gallery: Charlie Horse (28 Marcy Ave)… keep an eye out for their next show.
