'Cause when you are dreaming....you see for miles and miles.....

 

Oh damn Tommy boy you are so right....I've been dreaming bout LA for 6 months and now that I've moved here gotta say I see for miles...well at least to the Hollywood sign that I can see from my street....but now that I am among the laid back, sun kissed, tattooed and swarms of hipsters (almost as infections as zombies but more trendy, if that's even possible) I am ready to take on the city, full speed but is this city ready for me???

Set up and ready to Roll at the DMAF

Before we get too deep let's get down to some business....A recap of my last couple of events...Had a great time at the Des Moines Arts Festival, Stephen King (a much less scary Stephen than the author) and his crew really know how to take care of not only the artists but the peeps attending the event and the community...Thank you all for a great show, all your help (Tabitha you were ahhhmazing, much thanks for all the pee breaks) and for the awesome 

press...

Also a big thank you to the La France family for hosting me for the weekend, you took really great care of me, many thanks to you all....

 This is a great article about the 13 highlights of the DMAF, really flattered to be number one....hot damn...thank you....

  Right after the DMAF I headed back home just in time to pass out, pack the car with more food and clothes and hit the road...next stop, Denver for the Cherry Creek Arts Festival...

I was there for a week, I took part in the preview show which was on Tuesday...was nice to see everyone come out and show their support, event was at the JW Marriott, perfect setting for all the rad art...The festival took place that following weekend on the streets of Cherry Creek, here are some photos and a kickass interview of ceramics artist Andy Rogers, painter Tres Taylor and me!!!
