What am I up to?

I'm busy sorting and packing for a move this month. That is why my art projects (the new uke and paintings) are temporarily on hold and my blog posts are less frequent. I found this old passport photo of me taken upon graduating college. I was off to England to live for a while. Ah, memories.

Saying Goodbye to Weed Smoker's Dream

A nice collector from Texas just bought my "Weed Smoker's Dream" painting. It was part of my "Dreamgirls and Ukes"solo show in L.A. (2009). I spent the day packing it up for shipment.
