Legal Tagging and the Body Signature
Recently, I discovered a local ‘Urban Art Supplier’, a phrase I had never actually contemplated. How very closed minded of me. Yet, it is true.

Christening My Newish Studio – Experiment

What a huge challenge it was to work on the six billboards of the Transit Gallery at The Substation. The weather, while not terrible, was a bit unforgiving. On Wednesday it was … Read more

Approx. 750 people responded with an RSVP and that seems about right. We also had a great many through during the rest of the exhibition. Thanks to … Read more
