Two weeks to my one man show opens at the Bly Fine Arts Center in Eupora, MS from 25 April to 2 May 2009! The reception will be on 25 April from 6 to 8 PM. I have everything framed and ready to go. I also have some prints that I am planning on bringing by to sell, if anyone is interested. A print of my drawing "Infinity" is matted and framed and will be given away in a random drawing. The frame alone is worth a good bit, so come on out and maybe you will leave with a cool print!

The Cotton District Arts Festival will be held this coming Saturday 18 April 2009 in the Cotton District in Starkville, MS. This festival has grown and now is considered to be one of the major festivals of its type in the Southeast. Lots of music, art, good food, a 5K race, and much more. It is highlighted by the juried arts show, which will be judged by P. Sanders McNeal from Jackson, MS. I had my piece entitled "Zabulation" accepted, and my wife Julie had a photograph entitled "Forgotten Moments" accepted.

The landscape show (of which I have two pieces in) at the Greater Starkville Development Office at 200 Main Street in Starkville, MS will remain up for a few more weeks. If you happen to be in downtown Starkville, stop by and view the wonderful artwork. It often surprises me how many talented artists we have in our community.
