We had such a great time at the Tashiro Kaplan Artist Lofts 10th Anniversary Celebration. It was our first Artpark on a hill so it made hanging the art and installing the kinetic wire and light piece an interesting challenge.

The Parlor moved outdoors under a canopy, and hosted Michael O’Driscoll and his latest book Bedbug’s Book of Wisdom. Just Sage performed magic for passers by, flanked by Tim Scallon’s musical melding on one side and E. Grace Dager and Band Of Toy on the other. It was glorious!

The Gallery featured Juan Carlos Castellanos’ oil on paper and oil on board pieces, Pat Wickline’s wire, light and movement piece, and metallurgical manipulation pieces, Brenda L Scallon’s oil on canvas automotive abstractions and profile pieces, and GC Jackson’s custom cards. Wow, that’s a lot of incredible work!!!

Of course The Countess was stunning as usual, daydreaming about the video project we’ve been working on. We’re looking forward to many new adventures, (like working on the Canned Ham!!!), but for now we need to get back to repairing the damage done in the windstorm in Lubbock, and Buttercup needs rear shocks… Make art not war.
