strangers on a train

Some of the most extraordinary people "in my life" i have met quite by accident. total strangers that have somehow come into my life in the most happenstance ways. although i have had zero time to pontificate about my art in forever... tonight is a great example of such a coincidental meeting. years ago... long before I had ever done an art show of my own... i stumbled upon the paintings of Todd Holingsworth online... i thought then... as I do now... that his paintings captured something unexplainable... that I hoped to capture in the portrait/people paintings i was doing at the time. the moments in life that no one really talks about much... but that we can all remember... Todd paints moments of AHA... moments when you and a total stranger share a secret... or a thought... without speaking. this secret moment was the driving force in all of the art i did back  then. 

fast forward many years... and todd has asked me to share some space with him at palmers for his latest show. i am beyond flattered... to be chosen by someone that inspired me (quite by accident) long ago... to keep creating. 

I am showing some of my sign paintings alongside Todd's lovely ladies. .. and the combination somehow works splendidly... it's as if you've met these women in the establishments that lurk over their heads. (or that's how I see it)... 

Todd and I both share a love of the mystique that is Palmers... and we have a mutual appreciate for the art that each of us creates... so... if you stop out tonight for the opening party (it's Todd;'s birthday too ... so don't forget to buy him a stiff drink)... know that you are witnessing an sort of accidental union of two artists that admire one another. Hopefully that feeling will permeate the exhibit... and the evening. I heard a rumor there will be a ham.... and music by the Rank Strangers and Front Porch Swinging Liquor Pigs... it's sure to be an evening that won't disappoint even the mildest art, music or alcohol appreciator... come say hi. i have to work all day tomorrow for a brass symposium... so i have to be good and leave by around 11/12... but the party will go all night long. it is palmers afterall...
