Retool America

I mentioned recently that I was putting together an art show and would be light on posting. That show was this past Saturday and it was awesome. It was originally slated to be at Heineman Myers Contemporary Art for just one evening but the gallery owner has decided to leave the show up through the inauguration. I just found out yesterday that my design, "Retool America" is one of the winners of the Manifest Hope art show in the "Green Economy" category and will be on show from January 17-19 at 3333 M St NW in Georgetown. I admired the original Manifest Hope show in Denver from afar and collected prints of many of the artists who were in that show; my gallery reception this past Saturday featured a number of these artists plus myself and a few other artists like Mike Murphy and Robert Strasser whose works I admire. To be in Manifest Hope: DC is a total dream; it's exciting to be able to combine what I do here with ideas with graphic design. One of the judges of the art was Van Jones, someone I have talked about here as a person I admire.

So the words "Manifest Hope" have special meaning to me.

Here's to hoping that the next President can retool America.
