Blog love, and a big group show

I'm happy to share that I'm a featured artist this week on Artsy Shark, a great art blog. Artsy Shark does a really nice job helping artists to shine, by featuring quite a few large images and text by the artist. Here's the feature...

And, I'm one of a large group of artists helping celebrate MF Gallery's 10th anniversary at their Brooklyn, NY gallery. The show opens on June 8th. Below is more info.

Octopope in Sleeps With the Fishes!

Hello loyal blog followers, all 3 of you. I'm very happy to have a painting included in "Sleeps with the Fishes", a group show of dark nautical art at Rothick Art Haus in Anaheim. This is a show with Splendor Device, a super cool Southern California all female artist collective. The show opens this Saturday, May 11th, and runs for a month. Do check it out if you're in the area!

Okay, the truth is that I've been wanting to paint an Octopus pope or priest for a long time. So I was super excited to be invited to be in this show so I could paint my scary religious mollusc!
