Viva Mission!

This weekend Rachel, Jane and I drove down to Mission, TX to help David build his second annual float for the Texas Citrus Fiesta parade. This year he is doing a train theme. It's a huge undertaking. David and his brother did a lot of contraction to make the train skeleton and Rachel, Jane and I will do most of the decorating. First though, we had to suit up. Coverall are so bad ass!

These are the wheels we made. We died deer corn and glued them to the pegboard wheels. They will actually spin when they are on the float.

We all got super gluey. I still have some red glue stuck on my arm.

Rachel also made a map that turned out super cute.

Here is the train while the roof was being put on.

The boys try to figure out how to make the train puff out smoke.

It was a super fun weekend. I can't wait to go back for the actual parade.

Check out David's blog to see more.

Come see two of my How I Will Die pieces at Art League Houston this Friday. 500 entries and both of mine were chosen. Woo!

Artist Statements

I've long thought that artist statements can make or break a piece. So many times a piece of art can be made much more interesting by knowing more about it. Today's 20x200 piece is an example of the opposite of that.

The Center for Fine Art Photography

My Avoid the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. image has been selected for an exhibition called New Normal at The Center for Fine Art Photography in Ft. Collins, CO. 750 images were submitted and 50 were chosen. (Yay, me!)

The juror was Edward Robinson who is the Associate Curator of the Wallis Annenberg Photography Department at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). He was also the former Beaumont and Nancy Newhall Curatorial Fellow in the Dept. of Photography at MoMA and curated a bunch of shows there. Wow!

Museum Collection!

I've made it into my first major museum collection! Last night was the first annual Gift of Gift of event where people could vote on photographs to be purchased and donated to the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. An image from my How I Will Die series was on display and was one of the 8 chosen for purchase. YAY!! So, barring something going wrong (knock on wood) in the aquisition process, I'm in. Woo! I'm gonna be famous now.

Thank you soooo much to my friends, family and complete strangers who came and voted for me. I love you guys!
