First off, I just want to say I had a great night at the Murphy Building for November’s First Friday event. There were a lot of people, great conversations, talented musicians, and don’t forget the delicious wine.
Visitors viewing my artwork
I also want to say thanks to Maryanne O’Malley and Michael Bricker (founders of People for Urban Progress) for giving me the wonderful opportunity to show my work in their studio. It is a really great space that has a lot going on. They had information about their transit initiatives, Dome Bag Project gear over on the other wall, P.U.P. T-shirts, Domeflakes, and more!
Some of the laser cut Dome Flakes
I was really pleased with the way my artwork fit into their space as well. They brought in a lot of traffic and at times there were crowds of people gathered to check out my work. I met a lot of friendly and interesting individuals whom I had some really nice conversations with. I really enjoy being able to mingle and interact with the viewer’s of my work. It is always interesting to hear there thoughts and questions.
The table of treats for the visitors
My artwork wasn’t the only reason people were headed to the studio. Like I said, P.U.P. had so much to offer. I was able to purchase a clutch purse for my wife and a matching bi-fold wallet for myself. These were from their Dome Bag Project where they fabricate functional accessories out of the Teflon coated Fiberglass material that the RCA Dome roof covering was made out of. It is such a wonderful idea that saved an enormous amount of perfectly good material from being tossed in a landfill. You can pick up bi-fold or tri-fold wallets, clutch purses with or without the shoulder strap, and messenger bags from Silver In the City on Mass. Ave or contact them at info@peopleup.org for more information about how you can own a piece of history.

I just want to say thanks again to everyone who came out to see my work and check out the P.U.P. studio. Thanks again to Maryanne and Michael. Please check out their website to see what they are all about.
