Hello. So I will be part of a group show this weekend in Downtown Santa Ana as they are having their monthly art walk. It will be on the basement level of the Santora Building at the RED Gallery. 

The address is 207 N. Broadway, Santa Ana CA, 92701 Suite B6A2. I will actually have two pieces on display. Stop by it should be fun.

Art Walk
   I Went to the Santa Ana art walk last night and checked out  the Sugestivisim exhibit at the Grand Central Art Station. There were some interesting paintings  on display I have to admit though that after seeing so many the "Juxtapoz" style paintings that the slickness of those paintings gets boring and many seem to suffer from escapism, especially in light of recent events such as the rebellions in Egypt…The painting i enjoyed the most was a large acrylic  done  on paper of a person laying down that seemed to be coming together

   At OCCCA by stark contrast there was an exhibit of photographs; some that come to mind were the photos of various marine wildlife covered in oil from the recent Bp Oil spill.
