That’s right, baby.

Yesterday I passed my oral exam. Passed my exhibition too, and my thesis just needs to be formatted. I’ve almost got the MFA.

So I am pretty stoked about all of this.

Here is my gorgeous thesis. Hopefully the final draft.

There is another version, prettified in Adobe InDesign, and with the beautiful Caslon typeface, but I haven’t printed it yet. Or finished it, for that matter.

The show opening was awesome. I am totally stoked.

I was totally stoked pretty much all night.

A picture’s worth a thousand words.

And, here’s a new illustration.

“All Algiers lay around his feet like a cape of jewels and shells.”

From Camus, maybe?

This is one of the walls from my show tonight. Louise Wu, the artist I am exhibiting with, sent me this photo she took. The colors are not true to the original paintings- it’s hard to get colors right when photographing under gallery lights.

I hung my MFA thesis show today.

Only one piece did not get a home in the show:

It just wouldn’t fit anywhere. But life goes on.

So once again, here’s the info about the show.

What: Show opening!
Where: Flossie Martin Gallery (Powell Hall Room 200)- at Radford University
When: Friday Nov 7! 5-7 PM
After Party: 7 PM till Whenever! Sharkeys in Radford (1202 East Main) I’ll hand out maps at the opening.

Happy hour, with $1 mixed drinks, continues until 9. At some point, I will inevitably try to get everyone to dance.

Musical selections for this (enchanted?) evening will be the Top Gun soundtrack.

See you there!!
