January

It's been a little while since I sent out a brief update on all things art with Randy.

First off Happy New Year! Hope yours is starting off well and cheery, with love, family, friends, and at least one thing that caught you off guard and made you question the order of the world -- even for a second.

So, only a few things to report:

1) I finished up a 2-month show at a restaurant in San Rafael, which was good and weird at the same time. San Rafael is in Marin of the Bay Area, filled with good-meaning yet slightly off-centered older hippies. I actually gave a 20-minute talk at the restaurant about my stuff. That was weird.

2) I've finished 2 more needlepoints in the past 4 months. Only one is on my site, on the gallery main page: Gallery. I've been messing around with space, dimension, and perspective lately. The latest one is a self-portrait and has a red/black checkerboard floor. Always wanted one of those.

3) My biggest and most ambitious project to date! I'm working on a 100-piece project: one 6ftx6ft painting along with 99 8"x10" panels. Not only that, but I'm documenting my progress so you can keep up with me in real time, see what I'm doing as long as I don't slack too hard.

That's all for now.

Go 2004! Go go go!
Randy
