white rock art festival 2008
I've always been a big supporter of the White Rock Art Festival. It's a solidly established, well-run arts event which benefits children's education. Unfortunately, for a couple of years various scheduling conflicts prevented The Morpheus Company from participating in the show.
Recently, the Hexter PTA voted to move the festival to a new date, which happened to conveniently land on a free weekend for us.
I'm excited to be back.
Hexter Elementary PTA is proud to continue our commitment to support the school in enriching our children's environment and education. Originally started in 2002 to support and maintain the arts programs, the White Rock Art Festival now helps fund a wider variety of projects and programs for the students, faculty and staff of Hexter.

let's all go to the lobby...
Here's a list of five things I love about Dallas' Bath House Cultural Center:
- People who genuinely care about the arts run the joint.
- The acoustics in the lobby are ideal for jazz, classical or impromptu artist karaoke.
- It is one of the few places you can walk your dog, fly a kite and buy a painting.
- Regularly attending a venue known as "The Bath House" has convinced my clients outside of Dallas that I live a far more colorful life than I actually do.
- Locals have apparently designated that the twice-annual Art Mart as the area reunion event. It never fails, if I haven't seen someone for more than a year, they invariably turn up during the show to say hello.
Ok, there's also a bonus item:
- They call the show Art Mart
I don't know why, but saying it amuses the heck out of me.

happy gohdnuorg yad
I've noticed that the updating of my fall show schedule is something of a reverse groundhog day for me. Shadow or not, winter's coming. I clean my studio, get my head together and prepare myself as best I can for the insanity that is the upcoming holiday season.
It is a tradition within this moment to succumb to a panicked realization that while I might arrive at events with a veritable entourage of minions, henchpersons, gorgeous women, trained monkeys, genetically-engineered squids and a disc jockey named Rio, back at the studio I'm merely half a brain and one set of hands.
It is fortunate for my panicky nature that the aforementioned grey-matter partial originally belonged to a complete genius. As those who know me well can attest, when you have half a mind left you oscillate between brilliant and...well, not.
Rather than waiting for the seasonal panic to get a solid grip on my sanity, my brainier half-brain has stepped in to remind everyone that now, in the calm before the storm, lies a wonderful opportunity to discuss any projects that you might be considering.
By getting on my to-do-or-perish list early, you'll not only get the full benefit of my partial genius, but you'll also be doing the vestigial threads of my mental composure a kinder turn by not waiting until December to ask for the impossible.
With that said, I'll pack my helpful hemisphere in mothballs for safe keeping and get back to work. As always, You can find my up-to-date show calendar online here:

art and soul update
If you remember a few posts back, I mentioned that I was invited to be a guest on an upcoming episode of The Art and Soul of North Texas podcast. I recently got an email from Shelly Niebuhr, the podcast's host, asking if I knew any Mac-using gurus interested in giving her a hand producing the show.
If you are looking for a geeky way to contribute to the arts community, pop by the Art and Soul of North Texas website for details.
