JAMM-O

Last Minute Notice

I am participating in a group show - JAMM-O - at the Chris White Gallery. The opening reception is Friday, 06/01/2012 (tomorrow) from 6 to 9 PM.

The Chris White Gallery is located at 701 Shipley Street in Wilmington, DE. The space is beautiful and the opening includes a performance by Balor's Eye. Refreshments will be served. It should be a lot of fun and Vetta will probably play air guitar and rock-out about princesses.

JAMM-O runs until June 29th.

Hope to see you there!

... or as Vetta would say, "I did it! I did it!" Four more pages, some painting, some scanning, and some spending and this chapter is done.

 

Gallery coming soonish.
