An interview I did with Floyd Hall for WonderRoot came out today. I always get nervous about listening back to these things...I avoided it for a bit, anticipating a lot of fist-in-mouth moments and assumed I would probably end up making a post where I reworded or revised my answers. Who would of thunk, everything turned out just fine. There's always more for me to say about everything we talked about, but overall, it was a pretty thorough sweep.
Take a listen here! And be sure to check out the rest of the podcast - there are tons of really great interviews with other local Atlanta artists.
real life stuff
YOLKspace
So it has been decided. The name of my home gallery/studio/eventspace/what-have-you is officially YOLKspace. Despite all the uncertainty, “yolk” was the original idea – funny how it always works out like that.
YOLK – I think of it as a sort of incubation chamber of concepts, a source of vitamins and minerals. We will see what the future holds….
STUDIO NO. 7 OPENING
Last night was the opening of my show “Peaks” at Studio No. 7. It went so well, I don’t even know what to do with myself. Friends, family, family friends, all the good stuff. Perfection.
Sorry for the crap picture quality. Wasn’t a top priority of mine I guess. Stay tuned for pictures of new paintings!

THANKS
Just starting out the week by sending off some THANK YOUS that are long over due. Also, tomorrow is the opening of my solo show at Studio No. 7 - I'm excited to show off all my new paintings. After the opening I will post everything to my website/some shots from the event here. GOOD THINGS TO COME, STAY TUNED.

'tis a few days after xmas
Hello internet! I hope everyone made a merry Christmas for themselves. Mine was very pleasant. --I'm the proud new owner of a vitamix. feel free to come over to mi casa for all your mixing needs! --Now I'm trying to get my ducks in a row, eggs in their baskets, trash in the can ... all that good stuff, so I can enter 2014 fresh faced, fluffy feathered and full of fire. Just you wait!
Until then, here are some shots of the New Years cards I've been getting together for everyone. I feel awestruck and unworthy of all the acts of love around me. I wish I could adequately express my gratitude. So, here's a small attempt. (stamp designed by my beautiful and talented sister michelle - she also happens to be my favorite graphic designer! - check out her blog here)
WHAT I LEARNED TODAY WHILE STRETCHING:
Needs opening: my hips / my chest
Needs strengthening: my fingers / my toes
Further notes: Un-clench me butt cheeks and tighten me abs instead.
