I just wanted to let you know that I will be in a group show that will have an opening on June 15th, yes 3 days from now. The show should be up for one month in case you don't make it to the opening. Most of the work you have seen on this blog will be exhibited, even though my name isn't on the postcard or website (this show has materialized so fast, it was too late for the gallery to add my name to the postcard). Mason Murer Gallery will be exhibiting my work. It's the first show since leaving my job of last year, and truthfully i'm excited for people to see it. The fluctuation of size and images should be interesting to see all at once. You can print a pdf of the directions from thier website www.masonmurer.com Thanks...Jeff
