City Bird
John Casey and I both have pieces in the First Annual Postcard Show at Brassworks Gallery in Portland, OR.
This is an amazing lineup of over 800 images from international contributors. Each artist was sent a pack of custom-made, blank postcards on which to work, with no rules or guidelines about what to create.
I decided to go the literal route in making a piece of postcard art, using a classic font handling. “City Bird” was inspired by my favorite Lake Merrit dweller, the black-crowned night heron. He’s a cutie.
Rabbit, Rabbit
It’s time for another animal-themed invitational group show at the Bench Gallery at Fayes in San Francisco. This year, the rabbit gets its due, with 30+ artists participating.
I considered making another Alice-themed piece in the Wonder Land series, but somehow my mood was a little different. I wanted to work in a different pallete, and this idea seemed to complement my piece from last year’s Pigeon Show. The title, “Rabbit,” is as obvious as can be, but that’s because this was a childhood toy of mine and I was too young at the time to be clever with names.

I’ll be drawing live at the Children’s Fairyland “Drawn Together” fundraiser event on Friday, August 18th, alongside John Casey and other artists. Tickets are available now, and they do sell out quickly, so get yours soon. This is a 21+ event.

Game of Shrooms 2023
Another great day of offering art “in the wild” as part of the annual Game of Shrooms event, along with John Casey and a raft of East Bay artists posting to IG. This global hide-and-seek adventure has gotten even bigger this year, with more artists contributing in newly added countries, and an even bigger group of art-foragers searching the world for free mushroom art. There are contributors on all seven continents now, even Antarctica!
Anyone can take part in this event as an artist, anywhere in the world. And anyone can hunt for their freely distributed, but typically hidden, pieces. If you’d like to hunt for mushroom art in 2024, check out the worldwide map to see if people are leaving mushrooms in your area; I am sure there will be even more players next year. For more information, see GoS founder Attaboy’s website.
