The Paper Politics show that I’m part of is currently hanging at the Dowd Gallery at SUNY-Cortland in Upstate New York. Andrew Mount, the director at the Dowd sent these photos of the show installed. Seems like it’s made some ripples up there, upsetting some students who actually asked the administration to remove some of the prints! There will be a curator’s talk on October 28th. Info and directions will be on their website.Dowd Gallery website.
I’m going to be installing at least one piece in a group show at the Rooz Cafe soon.
When: Opening party, November 7th, 2008
Where: 1918 Park Blvd in Oakland
I’ll try to list the other artists soon.
This was a show I did with Political Gridlock at Clean in Down Town Oakland earlier this summer.
I showed some pieces in the Art Is a Hammer show at the We The People festival in Los Angeles not to long ago. The YO Peace collection then headed down to a show in Mexico city. My work made it but I wasn’t able to get down there.
I’m trying to catch up on reporting from some of my art shows over this summer. Here are a couple pics from the LA vs WAR show…
I’ll have a couple pieces up in this Group show in San Francisco. I think it’s hanging for a week. I won’t be able to make it to the opening because I’ll be in New York.

The Los Angeles art community is uniting April 10-13, for an event titled LA vs WAR. This four-day event will take place in downtown Los Angeles at The Firehouse and will feature poster and street art, live t-shirt and poster screen-printing, film screenings, and even a stencil garden.
LA vs WAR aims to highlight the travesty of a senseless war now going into its 6th year and to give a platform for LA’s artists to exercise their freedom of speech. Artwork by hundreds of artists will represent diverse communities in delivering a universal message of peace and understanding.
