Dusting off the cobwebs

I haven't visited this blog in a long time. I tend to get very focused on whatever is at hand, and let everything else slide. I've quarantined myself at home today with what feels like a chest cold trying to grab hold, so I'll set aside a few minutes to do a little updating.

I was recently part of a show at Detroit Artists Market entitled "It's Like Toys In Here." The show was curated by Andrew Thompson. Participating artists were myself, Andy Malone and Shaina Kasztelan, with some works by the late Matthew Blake on loan from collectors. We got some nice press: Michael Hodges, Detroit News , Rosie Sharp, Knight Arts, M. Lapham, Detroit Hub. Here's a time lapse video of the opening reception. I'll work on setting up a gallery page with the shadow puppets I made for that show and post it soon.

The Slippery Weasel Society is preparing for a show in Toledo, Ohio in May 2015. We're inducting some new weasels into the sneak. Looking forward to finishing some new work for this show. Check out the Slippery Weasel Society gallery page for a look at what we've done in the past. Thank you to Head Weasel In Charge Matthew Hanna for putting this show together. I'll post a link to information about the show as soon as I can. We're looking into some more shows in the near future. Slippery Weasel Society

I'm working on some small gouache paintings for an upcoming show at Ellen Kayrod Gallery. This is an intergenerational show that includes 21 artists, and is part of the activity in galleries all over Detroit celebrating the DIA's exhibit Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo in Detroit. The show runs May 1 - June 19, 2015, with an opening reception on Friday, May 8. I'll link to information about the show as it becomes available.

I'm also working on some commissions. I'll set up a gallery page for those as I get them finished.

    I'm a visual artist who occasionally has something to say. This seems like a good place to say it. I've called the blog Waiting for Mary because that seems to be the usual start of affairs around here these days. Also because I love the Pere Ubu song.
