Fall is Falling

Fall is upon us, and I have some news! Once again, everything is reaching

criticalmass in a one week stretch.

1) My hilarious hottie of a girlfriend has been squirreling away with her computer, writing blog after blogof comic genius. And she is getting noticed for it! She is featured this week on DailyBrink.com. Included in the article are some pics I took, but more importantly, this is more exposure for her amazing writing. Beware: astute social commentary wrapped in an attractive package. Click on the image below to go right to the article:

And, bonus!!! The article was featured on AfterEllen.com's October 5th "Morning Brew".

2) This Thursday, as a part of the Nomadic Studio project, I am participating in a panel at the DePaul University Museum called:

Printmaker as Distributor, Collaborator, and Facilitator

DePaul University Museum, 2350 N Kenmore Ave.

October 7, 6-7:30pm

How does the history of print as a medium for the dissemination of information affect the role of contemporary printmakers? Does this draw more educators to the medium? How does the communal print studio affect the nature of artwork being created? Does the emphasis on technique, craft, and tools create an environment welcoming to new students or restricted?

Printmaker as Distributor, Collaborator, and Facilitator will explore the role of education within contemporary printmaking. Panelists will include Wrik Repasky, Coordinator of Printmaking at Harold Washington, Tom Lucas, Director of the Printmaking Department at Lill Street Art Center, and CJ Mace, MFA student through Columbia College Book and Paper program. The panel will be moderated by Angee Lennard, founder and director of Spudnik Press Cooperative.

This event is organized by the Stockyard Institute and Spudnik Press.

3) And, this Friday, an opening reception for the Chicago Printer's Guilds first show. I have a print installation created in collaboration with Sanya Glisic in the show:

Friday, October 8 · 6:00pm - 11:00pm

Chicago Urban Art Society

2229 S. Halsted Street

The first annual CPG show is taking place between October 8-17th! The Chicago Urban Art Society will be hosting over 40 Chicago-based printmakers, all part of the Chicago Printers Guild. The collection will include a wide variety of print-media including typeface, lithography and even some 3-D work. Please pass this on to all your friends and family and lets make the most of this exciting event!

All in all, a little bit of something for everyone, whether you are in the Chicagoland area or not.

Wish you were here if you aren't!
