wow
That's all I can say. Wow. West of Center is just fantastic. I couldn't get very good many people/crowd photos because the lights were focused on the art -- as they should be. I need to go back tomorrow and take pictures of the show itself -- it was so crowded and packed in tight. Juror Matt Eaton was just wonderful, his talk was so down to earth and heartfelt. And producer/curator Joanne Bandoni pulled off another flawless exhibition!

What a wonderful (but very packed) show -- I saw other friends but didn't get photos. I will go back tomorrow and shoot some of the artwork. My head was just swimming from all of the people and good feelings and sounds and Matt Eaton's talk.
I started out my day by working on Tookies...I concentrated on the horns/ears of several of the new finger puppets. I think I am getting a rhythm now...that is a good feeling.

You look awesome! Did Quillz win an award? I could not make First Friday as I had a hockey game. I hope to see the exhibit soon.
Nope...but Juana got one! And so did Joan and WanChuan.
