After a very successful 2012 Annual Fall Artist Exhibition at Spring Street and Winter Street Studios, I am pleased to announce the winner of the drawing for a free art print! Several hundred people came by the studio, and over 100 entered the contest!

Congratulations to Barbara Thorne-Thomson!

Back from a 'blog break'

I hope everyone had a nice summer and is ready for some cooler weather(at least I am here in Houston). I wanted to give all my blog readers a heads up as to what's been going on with me lately. I have been traveling all over in the past two months- all over Texas, to Los Angeles, and all throughout my home state of Louisiana. I am currently finishing up some pieces for the TAID(Texas Association of Interior Designers) benefit which will be held September 13th, and also working on pieces for Spring Street Studios annual October Event scheduled for Saturday, October 6, 2012. Expect photos from the TAID event soon and pics of new work.

GAY PRIDE WEEKEND

This is the weekend that the gay community and our friends, family, and supporters celebrate how far we have come in the struggle for equal rights and how very very close we are to full equality under the Constitution. This time of year is chosen to coincide with the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots in New York City in 1969. The gay community had finally had enough of being treated horribly with unwarranted arrests, harassment, and beatings. Ever since we worked toward equality. Each big step, like the Stonewall Riots, to the smaller ones like me and my partner's aggressive gay activism on a conservative college campus in the mid-90s have contributed to the ultimate goal of full equality which I think is only a few years(if that) away. I salute all the brave gay men and women who have tirelessly pursued this cause ahead of me, those who are currently working hard, and the younger activists who are just getting started.
