Just finished

Just finished entering this process... not holding my breath... my work is in the collection of some of the planet's top art collectors, and several museums, but so far zip fuck for any public art collections. And I understand this - no city or county or state in the USA would dare to buy a figurative work that is nude - that eliminates most of my work.

Trying to adapt to the "system" and bowing down to the "man" and thus submitting some non nude work...

MoCo artists - do not skip this opportunity!

DEADLINE: FRIDAY APRIL 20, 2018

I'm not gonna take all the credit --- OK, OK... I will!  But, if you recall from multiple postings last year, I corresponded with all MoCo politicos last year and tried to shame one of the planet's wealthiest county's lack of support for its artists...

And now:
