back at work after about 10 days off – almost forgot how to do my job.
I’ll be sending some paintings off to New York as soon as I can find packing material. I was hoping to send four small paintings, but I’m still working on them so instead I’ll send three larger paintings which are complete.
Circle Thirteen, the independent art/writing zine I was working on, is complete. I mailed a bundle of them out a few days back.

Pictures and Tears
Currently reading Pictures and Tears by James Elkins.
Yesterday I bought new strings for my classical acoustic guitar… the sound is so much better now, it’s amazing.
trip to Chicago
I decided to leave my camera at home this time, as I already have plenty of photos of Chicago.
Here are a few of the highlights from my trip:
Headed to Chicago
Tonight I’m going to Chicago… and of course, work today will be frantic. Right after work I’ll be installing some paintings, and then racing to the Metrolink station.
