Barry at my thesis exhibition of interactive print media "Remnants: Within an Age of Digitalism" during a visit to Rochester Institute of Technology that was organized by my professor and friend Alan Singer. Barry is publishing his new book and I can't wait for the read!

Japan Studies Institute/ San Diego State University, Fellowship

I am the worst blogger ever... I apologize to my friends and the two people that actually read this. I am currently Assistant Professor of Art at Lincoln University of Missouri. As of late I was fortunate enough to be awarded a Fellowship at the Japan Studies Institute/ San Diego State University. I have to say, Sensei Higurashi is the best! I absolutely loved the entire experience and I love the weather in SD! My summer was awesome, and I can't really complain about anything. I was fortunate to do some non profit work and college visits with my good friend John Remo, we ended up traveling to Tokyo, Manila, and Seoul all summer... I am very thankful to all of my international friends that made the experience a memorable one... Maasa, Jiwoo, Sakiroo, Obam, Ami and the Joven family! (As well as everyone that I met along the way!.) As for now... its back to the grind along with trying to improve my Korean language skills!!

Radcliffe Bailey + Victoria Rowell

A month or two ago I had designed the print collateral for a visiting artist event at Rochester Institute of Technology. After the dinner reception and chatting with Radcliffe for a while, Colby and I gave him and Victoria a tour of the College of Imaging Arts & Sciences at RIT. This was a snapshot from the Gallery r exhibition and auction that night before they left back to Atlanta. They were both really great!

If you happen to be in the Lexington area on May 24th... I am very happy to have been selected for a juried exhibition alongside Alan Singer.
