Solo Show Closing In...
I have just a few more prints to make for the exhibition next month (all images that won't be framed), and everything else is coming along. Here are a few quick pics from the last 2 weeks:

I figured out what I needed for my last few framed pieces
this past weekend, and I'm waiting on a few final matboards.
Scroll back through recent posts for more on the exhibition, or check out these links: announcing my solo exhibition, framing up smaller work, and my image on the "Art and Design" flyer for Concordia University.

My Image on Concordia's "Art & Design" Mailer
I recently posted about an upcoming solo show that I'm preparing for. I just got a package from the gallery, and they used my image on the front of their "Art & Design" flyer for this year:

Framing Work (Stressfully)
This past week is when I really started framing work in earnest for my upcoming solo exhibition. Here was the view in my house a few days ago:

A workout in the morning and late afternoon, teaching
a class from 9-12, and the "framing stress" from 1-3.

It showed up on my "stress indicator" as well.
