Working as hard as ever and getting creative with the paint that I have remaining. Need to head into Tempe and get some stuff.
My painting will be up at the Breadfruit for another month which is good. I like them (the paintings) but I much prefer 
that someone else falls in love with them and wants to take them home 
I will also being a couple of charity events between now and the 15th of next month, I will post particulars later this week.

After some month full of tension, anxiety and the like, feel like I am goofing off and having fun. Still working on five larger paintings I will complete for the Oct show in New York and with some left over for a show in Phoenix. More on this in next weeks post

SIGGRAPH Asia 2009 Art Gallery is calling for artworks and works of design to be showcased in the 2nd edition of the annual SIGGRAPH Asia Conference and Exhibition on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques in Yokohama, Japan.
The 2009 Art Gallery The Art Gallery will feature a diverse, international body of art and design by emerging and established artists, ranging from pieces driven by technology to works that critically comment on our technological society. the exhibit will be made up of both curated and juried work, and the works will be selected based on four criteria-the depth of the concept of the work, aesthetics, craftsmanship, and relevance to the theme of the show.
The theme for the SIGGRAPH Asia 2009 Art Gallery will be ADAPTATION. How does man or other species change to fit new circumstance and conditions in an ever-changing world? How does a species develop physically and behaviorally in order to survive and reproduce? How is technology used to achieve adaptation, or how does it destroy one’s ability to adapt? Has technology really helped us adapt? At this critical time in humanity’s evolutionary journey, we are looking for artworks that respond to these kinds of questions. We are calling for artworks that resonate strongly with our challenging existence in an ever-changing world of technological advances, environmental crisis, and global shifts of consciousness.
The medium can include but are not limited to the following categories:
• 2D, 3D artwork: such as digital prints, paintings, and sculpture
• Art installations and environments
• Interactives: installations, web-based art, responsive media, robotics, touch-screens
• Time-based work (video/animation): for monitors, installations, or projections
• Artwork using digital communities: including alternative networks, mobile, and locative media
• Performance: Electronically mediated performances, interactive performances, and digital art happenings.
• Artwork using digital audio
• Works of Design
The exhibition will consist of a curated body of work and a juried body of work. The jury will be made up of artists and professionals working in the field of fine art, new media, and computer graphics. We are accepting submissions globally, and we encourage artists of all nationalities to apply. Visual Artists new to SIGGRAPH who have relevant artworks are encouraged to apply.
The members of the SIGGRAPH Asia 2009 Art Gallery Jury are:
Yuko Oda (New York Institute of Technology), Mariko Tanaka (Independent Curator/Cavin-Morris Gallery), Hans Tammen (Harvestworks Digital Media Art Center), Jing Zhou (Monmouth University), Terry Nauheim

Katie Morabito (New York University), Matthew Garrison (Albright College), Nobuo Takahashi (Nagoya City University), Ellen Pearlman (Yuanfen Gallery, Beijing/Brooklyn Rail), Yasuo Ohba (Namco Bandai Games)
Once accepted, the artist will work closely with the SIGGRAPH Art Gallery Committee to ship and display the work in Yokohama. There will be an installation crew to support with the technical and physical aspects of the installation. Performances will be scheduled in advance, and advertised on the website and in printed conference materials. Artists who are able to attend the conference in Japan will be encouraged to give an artist talk, and participate in artist panel discussions.
Accepted artworks will be exhibited in Yokohama Pacifico during the conference in December, 2009. Accompanying the exhibition will be an extensive catalogue, Digital Experiences, online exhibit, online archive, and promotional video on DVD to document and archive the artwork. Press tours and other media outreach will be organized to further increase the impact and publicity of the exhibition.
The submission deadline is 5 June, 23:59 UTC/GMT. The jury’s decisions will be announced in early August
Just for fun, we took a trip up north to look at some of the red mountain in Sedona and have a little lunch at the Red Planet Diner. Sedona is a tourist stop with to many gift shops, but all you need do is raise your eyes and see the real reason for being there. This is a photo I took away from the main shopping area and lone car is the norm. Waking up in the morning and seeing something like this will get the creative juices going.
If you are in New York, stop by the Metropolitan Transit Authority Museum and see the work of Marvin Franklin, read his story and appreciate him and his work.
