Excited for another fun group show at Equity Gallery called “Memento Mori”, which has artworks that are like Vanitas: an art historical trope that alludes to the passing of time: skulls, hourglasses, flickering candles, etc. They’ll be showing my painting “Brian with Candelabra”. nyartistsequity.org

The opening for ‘Connections IX” was fun - show’s up thru 4/19 - go check it out! www.atlanticgallery.org

My painting “Thirteenth Street Rooftop” was selected as the invite image for a cool group show I’m in, “Connections IX”, opening tonight at Atlantic Gallery in Chelsea, NYC! Come see it & say Hi if you’re free. www.atlanticgallery.org www.georgetowneart.com #oilpainting #cityscapepainting

Yup, the hypocrisy is staggering

I’m a part of this upcoming exhibition ‘WITNESS’, which displays work from former & current members of the School of Visual Arts community - alumni, faculty, and staff-who’ve addressed the impact of HIV/AIDS in their artwork. Opens 3/20 from 6-8, 133-141 W 21 St. NYC. Go to: sva.edu/events/witness

Fantastic

Me & the husband

And to think we could have had a sane, serious government run by an intelligent person who would have acted in the best interests of Americans, and not Vladimir Putin.

Exactly

“The Winter Show” exhibit @ The National Arts Club had been extended, and I have a small painting in it. Lots of compelling artworks from the likes of Alex Katz, Lois Dodd, Ernesto Renda, and Will Barnett are there too. (15 Gramercy Park South, NYC, closed Sundays). Check it out-closes 2/28 !

I’m involved in my first ‘Public Art’ project, & it’s my first time showing in Chicago. “Magenta Lounge” is a public art exhibit that projects artwork from the windows of One West Grand Avenue at night, through 2/28. It features queer artists that explore gender identity, sexuality, and more.

You know Putin and Musk have the peepee tape.
