Happy Holidays

Hi everybody, I wish you all Happy Holidays and a wonderful New Year. May all your wishes come true in the new year.

In the new year I will have to concentrate on my solo show in April at the Manhattan Graphics Center. I will keep you all posted on the progress I am making. I really look forward doing it and I also have ideas for new work ... which of course has to be done first ... but I have the ideas in my head and ready to come out for the "whole world" to see.

But for now enjoy the holidays, have a productive printmaking year 2010 and ... Frohe Weihnachten und einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr.

New Canaan - Print Americas 2009

Silvermine Arts Guild

In front of my artwork

Me, Bob and Nancy Woodward

We went with my parents and my partner Bob to New Canaan to see the Print Americas Show. It was my first time there and I am very much impressed by the professional management and handling of the artwork. Nancy, who is the gallery assistant of the gallery, greeted my very friendly at the door, and after she heard my name, she immediately knew who I am and where my work was hanging. "I am surprised that your work did not fly from the wall - I love your work" was her comment.

Of course that gave me a great feeling of appreciation ... a self confidence boost. I am very happy that we took the trip, enjoying the show and wonderful weather in a beautiful setting.

Solo Show at the MGC - April 2010

So, now it's time to talk about my upcoming show at the MGC (Manhattan Graphics Center) in New York. I will show recent and "brand new" work in April 2010 in the centers gallery space. This is my second solo show at the MGC. The first one was, I think, in 2005 ... I have to check, but I am pretty sure.

The exact date for the show as well as the opening will be announced as soon as I know them.

I am very excited about the show, and I am planning on having prints in ways I haven't had them before, technique wise. The topic will be one I am working on for a while now. Lots of trees!

I have some surprises planned.

The preparation is starting now and I have so much to do, ... lets see what I come up with. It is going to be interesting.

The long road to LA

The show at LAPS starts, and I had to send in my work. Boy UPS give me a run for my money. I did send my package UPS ground from a UPS store, and for a while the package was lost in "space", it couldn't be found online with the tracking number and then it was posted as send to my home address instead the LA address. - Because of that I did send out another package to LA with another frame ... and believe it or not, the first sent out package arrived in LA ... luckily, Sooooo, I spend more money I wanted to, but I am happy my work arrived and I did the deadline ... twice.
