Art show…art shows?

This blog has taken a back seat to life and art. Not a bad thing I think, but I need to give some updates. First off, one of my self portraits was accepted into the Austin Art Space 12buy12 show. If you’re interested, go check it out, it should be up until January 7th. If [...]
