I’ve been very productive lately.

Without even trying I made this attractive ghost by simply wiping my paintbrush on a kleenex, or maybe it is a napkin. Clearly a sign of genius.

I also made these coupons for the Roanoke “cat fanciers” show which we are attending tomorrow. We will get $1 off entry with these coupons. I had to use my highly developed Photoshop skills to make them. Obviously grad school is already paying off.

They are not perfect because perfection is impossible in home made graphic design projects and not worth striving for. The back is upside down and the colors do not match, even though I put them on newsprint. I’m trusting that the following assumptions will hold true:

1. The person checking these things will never notice, because we will be wearing cat sweatshirts:

2. If they do notice, it will probably be funny.

3. Forged cat coupons are probably not worth calling the FBI or pressing charges.

4. If they did, we would laugh about it later while kicking ourselves now.

5. We will describe our actions as a public art project if we are apprehended and sent to prison. You can get away with anything if you call it an art project.

I also mounted a show this week in the glass corridor known as the Radford University Satellite Gallery located in Muse Hall on the Radford campus. The show is called Landscapes and it is pictures of landscapes I painted last summer.
