Running until I'm tackled

As I mentioned, briefly, I recently left my home of almost 30 years. Lot of memories I that place. I sig the Short North, and that little shotgun house was sanctuary, right in the middle of it. I hope the new owners can give her what's he deserves.

KGA needed space and I need supervision... This place can give me all that. So,on to the next chapter.

A thread I'm just gonna drop and move on is how chronic pain changes my whole creative process. Bad days, I mostly plan work, or think about new work. Everything tries to get crammed in those good ones. Runnin' as hard as I possibly can...till I'm put down, again. Lots of new pieces that aren't finished...

KGA has had a great year, even though I missed a deadline I've been working toward for years. Some art works at its own pace, or the artist suffers the consequences. That Board Track racer is such a piece. I'd much rather be right and tight than on time. 

I attended the National Motorcycle Museum's opening for the show "2 Wheels and a Motor", along with several others from the 614. 
There was a custom chopper show and the yearly rally was happenin'. That's "Cruizin" above and left of the awesome portrait of Indian Larry, "via con dios".

Holding me up in this photo is Ric Stewart, my mentor and the curator of this awesome show. To our left are five of my paintings. "College Bound",  the sculpture, is also in it:

Even if you've seen this in Pickerington, go see it again.CBus arts everywhere in this exhibit:
