Seattle Time

Just got back from Seattle where I met with the folks at Mithun to talk about a show I'm going to do there next May. I'll be presenting all new, site specific work. I do love architects! I've wanted to do something like this for some time now. Very excited.

While in town I had the pleasure to meet Laurie Kearney, the force behind Ghost Gallery. I left a bunch of paintings with her for an upcoming show at Stylus (see previous post).

I also delivered this painting to Flying House Productions for their upcoming fundraiser auction. Great art, good cause, fun fun.






In addition, Emerald spent a couple of hours being in an music video for a new "Awesome" song called What They Do.

And we went to the zoo for Dare's 2nd birthday.

And Emerald discovered that she has her first loose tooth.

CHECK OUT WHAT BROUGHT THIS ON NOW:

An anonymous donor in our community has offered the Boiler Room a $25,000 MATCHING GRANT which would go towards our capital campaign fund if we can raise the same amount by the end of June. As you might know, the Boiler Room is in the process of paying off its building, so this is an amazing opportunity to make some serious progress! Our total debt of $325.000.00 is due as a balloon payment in 2016, but we hope to reduce it significantly much earlier, to cut monthly interest payments.

In an effort to raise money we have staged a series of three fundraising events with the help of Boyd Grafmyre, a legendary promoter who ran the Eagles Auditorium in Seattle during the late 60s and 70s, as well as organized The Seattle Pop Festival in 1969 (featuring Led Zeppelin and The Doors, Chuck Berry, Tina Turner and others) and has become a regular patron of the Boiler Room since last fall.

Thanks for the seat

So the Chair Affair was last night, sounds like it went great. Last I heard they'd raised $8,300 and the donations are still coming in!

I got a little tender about letting go of the kid rocking chair I'd painted and donated, but so be it, to the highest bidder it shall go. Then at the last minute a bunch of my family showed up, all pitched in for it and got the chair for my girls. So sweet! Thanks Ma and Uncle Wayne, Aunt Vickie, Cousins Valerie and Vanessa (up for a weekend visit).

That is Dare sitting in it, but Emerald made the quotable comment when she got to sit in it, "It's like sitting in magic! It is like I'm sitting in one of Mom's paintings and you're not even supposed to touch paintings!"
