Impact-Influence show

I participated in a group show called, "Impact-Influence" by the faculty of Continuing & Professional Studies program of Columbus College of Art & Design. The show took place in the Carnegie Gallery inside the Metropolitan Library in downtown Columbus and ran from January to February of 2014.

Willow the boxer

My lovely editor at Lark Books, Ms. Beth Sweet who worked on Paper Pups book with me posted this photo recently on BarkBox Facebook. This is Willow: a female boxer who lives with Beth. This photo was taken in July last year during our photo session for Paper Pups. Willow is such a gentle and sweet girl. In this photo, she is mellowing right next to her look-a-like I made for Beth.

BarkBox

Good folks at BarkBox just posted this article on their website about my book "Paper Pups".

They post all kinds of good stuff about dogs on their site. For this post, the staff even made some of the dogs from the book to be their office pups. Check these out. I love these people!

Here is their Facebook page.

Paper Pups exhibit

Today I installed my exhibit of Paper Pups in Bexley Public Library, Bexley OH. This was the very first time even for me to be able to see all the pups I created in one place at one time. I am happy about the way it looks. This exhibit runs for a month from 8/1 to 8/31. I am scheduled to do a paper pups workshop in the library for grade school children in December (date TBA). Below are a few photos of the exhibit.

Now this exhibit has been extended to the end of September October.

Bocci's Beefs

My good friend Joan DeMartin was kind enough to advertise my new book "Paper Pups" on her blog Bocci's Beefs. During this photo shoot, Bocci was so excited that I had hard time keeping him still with me. Somehow I managed it. She is giving away 3 autographed copies of this book.
