Hello Everyone-
Please mark you calendars. This is a show I help curate and promises to be lots of fun. A scavenger hunt for art, Bi-Rite BBQ and friends.
Check out www.youngtompkins.com for the premise of the show.
Art can be previewed starting March 1, but the actual “hunt” is Saturday March 8th 12-5pm.
Hope to see you hounds…

Hello-
So I just returned from Eastern Oregon University where I curently have a show. The University is in a small town called La Grande and it was the similar vibe of being on the Andy Griffith Show or Northern Exposure. The people were real nice and the scenery was beautiful, as it is nestled in bewteen the mounatins. By the end of my stay I was somewhat a local celeberity as while on morning walks to get coffee, people honked and waved… that or they are just real nice. My camera crapped out early on so I was only able to get a few pictures of the show… I wish i would have been able to get some of the local flare. Especially the bartender at the LongBranch Bar, jeannie… she was something out of a david lynch movie… about 4 feet tall and 75 years old. you could just make out her wig over the bar, and if you ever go there don’t say the “F” word or she’ll toss you out. Also one of the pieces I sold from the show was to another bartender, who in the movie of La Grande would be played by Peter Lory.
so happy new year…

Mike has a show coming up in January 2008. In Oregon or something. I have to check the postcard he sent me. I don’t have it with me right now, but I feel the need to update his “long-neglected blog.”* I’ll keep you folks posted.

So it has been a long time coming that I actually start trying out the whole blog thing…
bear with me as I’m about as computer savvy as a squirrel in hibernation.

A message from Mike:
it’s that time of year again… bigfoot and poopingrabbit go head to head at southern exposure’s MONSTER DRAW RALLY…
it’s a fundraising event where you get to watch artists create work in hour intervals. i did it last year and it was loads of fun…
it is friday february 23 : myself along with jennie “quickdraw” ottinger, jonn “abstracty” herschend and cynthia “ona” innis will be drawing at the 7-8 pm time slot. i am sure there will be a reminder email, BUT like last year i am taking title submissions to inspire the drawings that i will make…
so get your brains in gear and send me some titles of drawings.
as ever
michael
