Well, the Great Good Places show was a smashing success. I installed it back in November of gosh it must’ve been 2013, after three solid months of working on it: drawing the pieces, making the color separation files, picking the colors, working with the people at Gowanus Print Lab, framing the prints at KC Arts, signing and numbering ’em all, then shlepping everything over to Fort Defiance. And up they went. (They look dynamite on the seafoam/teal walls, too. Solid black frames. Just great.)

The next day the temperature plummeted to 25 degrees with a stiff harbor wind and still a crowd showed up. We downed punch and red beans & rice courtesy of St. John and the folks at Fort Defiance. We listened to the twangy, steely musical stylings of Stevie from St. Lou (thanks Steve Smithie for that!) and in general we all had a fine time. I know I did. I think you guys did, too.

I’m really happy to say that a lot of pieces have sold, many right off the wall. I had to replace several of them on the fly, as customers would fall in love with one over dinner, then take it home. Thanks so much for the enthusiasm, folks! What an honor. Many unframed prints sold, too, going to all parts of the US and even to England and Namibia. Half the #1 prints sold, but that means three are still up for grabs, and they’re up on the wall at Fort Defiance. Why don’t you come on over on Monday January 13 and pick one up? We’ll be there from 6 to 9 p.m. and St. John’s offering a great deal: a damn-near-perfect Fort D burger, taters and a pint of cold, fresh beer for only 12 bucks. TWELVE BUCKS! And this is good food, folks, believe me. Come join us.
