Hey dear everyone! My solo show of mixed-media work opens on Friday May 29th at the Delight Factory in Brooklyn. (303 Saratoga.) There will be live, dreamworldly VJing (by me) with eerie experimental ambient music (by Todd.) Also wine and cake. If you are in the NYC area, do come!

this is, unfortunately, even more important given how much distributors (studios, publishers, whatever) have just .... largely stopped investing in marketing and publicity entirely
