Updates/Events

-7/27/2016
​      Some images added to the portfolio. Once I get some better photos of my 3-d works I will update those
​as well. The ones that are up now are essentially functioning as place-holders.

-5/2/2016
​      New stuff coming out of the soda-kiln today. The largest 'pile' yet is in there and it should be interesting.
​My fellow MFA candidate Dan Heskamp has his thesis exhibition on Thursday evening at the Weil Gallery at Texas A&M University Corpus Christi. Additionally, the annual Ink Slinger's Ball is coming up this Friday at the House of Rock downtown. Big finish to a long semester!

-4/15/2016
​      My fellow MFA candidate, Paul Seeman, is having a reception tonight for his thesis exhibition at the
Weil Gallery in Corpus Christi, TX. If you are in the area, you should attend.

​     The Oso Bay Biennial is coming up next week. One of the many events is a show juried by James Victore,
in which three of my prints will be present. The opening reception will be Friday at 5:00pm at the Weil Gallery on campus at TAMUCC. That same Friday is also Art Walk in downtown Corpus Christi, where a bunch of us printmakers will be selling t-shirts which will be printed live in from of the K-Space art gallery. If you happen to be in the area, here is the link to the events schedule for the 2016 Oso Bay Biennial.

​    Today is the last day before Spring "break" which will be more like hardcore-work-week. I have a pile
​of copper to finish and print and a few stones as well. Not to mention rabbits to hide...

-3/5/2016
    The Oso Bay Biennial is fast approaching, I have piles on piles of works in progress, and various other
​complicated goings-on. I am also continuing to hide small, soda-fired porcelain rabbits with disheartening
​scrolls in their mouths. You may view the process via Instagram, the name being jackoptimus

    The semester quickly draws to a close. Almost three weeks before the standard end of a semester
Not a great schedule change for us studio artists being forced to write papers as well as finish
large-scale projects earlier than expected. Images of this business to follow.

-6/30/2015
    Some captions updated on images. I have more things to photograph and even more things
to complete.

-6/15/2015
    I've uploaded some new images.  I will be teaching "Intermediate Prinkmaking: Intro. to Lithography"

    First day teaching Intro. to Intaglio. Went well, until TAMUCC's power went out in the middle of looking at prints.
    Didn't matter though. I demoed plate-prep, drypoint, and proofing in the dark. Because analog is awesome.
