Performance, literature, local events, & other good things are happening at 2GQ.org. Clare and I are also working on a book of our own work (see below).
Visual Chronicle of Portland
The Regional Arts & Culture Council (RACC) invited me to sit on their selection committee, so I've been viewing slides 2D, pdx-centric art with a bunch of lovely folks like skate/graff artist/Zeitgeist founder Paul Fujita, painter Michael Brophy, and photographer Jim Lommasson. It's pretty wild being the selection committee's token non-visual-artist; I'll be there 3 years, and hope to see more submissions from a wider selection of Portland artists. Start planning now for next year, art-peeps. Details at http://www.racc.org/publicart/collections.php.
MFA-IA
I've begun a Master's degree program and hope to earn my MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts within the next 2.5 years.
