    First Exhibitions

    Hey guys,

    I will be taking part in a collective exhibition at a local club in Jacksonville, Florida on March 24th. It will be show that allows local artists of different formats to come together display work, get feedback, and have fun. I am very excited, as this is actually the first time I will be showing my work in a public setting. I am also working on having some stuff shown in a few local Starbucks Coffee shops.

    I will post some pics from the show on Thursday. Wish me luck, because I am nervous as heck!

    Thanks guys! I have some friends coming, and I know at least one of the other artists, so I know I will have some support, but I'm still shutter when I think about it. I can't wait!

    I'm sure your work will get rave reviews John. Look forward to hearing more about it.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Re: First Exhibitions

    I just had my meeting with Jimmy from starbucks, sitting here drinking coffe right now actually, and I will be hanging starting April 1st to May 1st. I am super excited to have them up for so long, and I am hoping I might get a few sales while they are up there. They only have 7 spaces, so I have to choose really carefully. I am going to go with a nature theme this time, but I am also looking at other locations around town and I have several other ideas for different shows.

    Thanks for the support guys!

    Hey Jeff,

    yeah, they are all matted and framed. In fact I just finished the last 3 about five minutes ago. There are nine frames in all holding twelve prints.

    I plan to take pics at the show, so I will be posting them soon after.

    Thanks!

    Here are some of the images I will be showing...
