Art Opening of Netroots Nation/Texas Kaos After Party & Art Exhibit
What a great show! My large piece “What Have We Become?” was prominently featured on the main wall and was big hit with the Netroots Nation folks. One guy even gave me a huge hug when he found I was the artist of that piece.
I had my 5 paintings of nuclear bombs in this show, along with the piece mentioned above and a image transfer/encaustic piece of “Chernobyl.”
There were 6 other artists in this show with great and varied work. I thought I took more pictures than I actually did (that usually seems to be be the case!). As it turned out, we were enjoying the opening so much, the party lasted well past closing time.

I started this project about a year ago. My idea was to use iconic media images as image transfers encased in wax, and tie a number of images together into a large piece. I wanted to pick some of the most recognizable images that I think almost anyone would know; images that said something about how we as a human race treat each other.
