Posting has been light due to a sick flower (who is on the mend). I'm also working on my review of my show, but until then, more links:

Two-Headed Nuke Zombie
Carved poplar, painted in oil, feet & hands dipped in rubber.

Sean Samoheyl is an artist here in the C'ville area. I've seen his great figures around but just met him last week. Here's another one:


Four Eyes, Red-dipped.
Carved poplar, painted enamel house paint, dipped in rubber.

These are both from his Monster Dolls Group. He did a workshop for Second Street Gallery with kids and the results were in the back room when I was hanging my show. I'll admit to playing with them late at night... Very cool with movable part sometimes.

Joseph Barbaccia is in the above OH HO 05 show and in the Winter Art Exhibition at Gallery Neptune in Bethesda MD. He also has a studio-webcam here (very cool idea).

*I donated a photograph to the Art Helps Auction to benefit Food & Friends. I donated last year as well and went to the reception- It’s definitely an event you don’t want to miss. Check it all out on Wednesday, December 7th from 5-10 pm (cocktails and hors d’oeuvres will be served & admission is free). The reception is held at JAM Communications (1638 R Street, NW WDC). For more info, www.arthelps.org

*Photographs from the WDC: 8 x 10 series will be up from December 2nd through December 31st at the Center for The Arts at St. Mark’s School in Southborough, MA. This is the second part of my solo show, as currently, photographs from Hiroshima are hanging there. For more on the WDC series, check out the review on Thinking About Art

*The Hiroshima photographs move to the Gallery @ Porter Exchange at Lesley University for a solo show titled From Hiroshima. The show will hang from December 3rd – January 22nd and Lesley is located at 1815 Mass. Ave in Cambridge, MA. A portion of the proceeds from the exhibit will be donated to the American Friends Service Committee. For more info on AFSC, www.afsc.org
