For this, Eloise chose a portrait of Jane Seymour by Hans Holbein, I assume because of its ornate fabrics and patterns. regardless, this will be used for the postcard publicizing my next show, at Jackson Artworks in March.

Official title is: After Jane Seymour (Holbein) [Dear Eloise]

Litfest

Litfest is a great thing organized by a dedicated author and professor out of Lincoln, Timothy Schaffert. It runs for a week or two in September and bring a much needed jolt of writer presence into Omaha. The people they get are really good and somehow it all happens every year, despite seemingly being a one-man show.

This year I did some posters.

The theme of this year's litfest is: The sordid arts of the American pulp novel.

I am participating in an exhibition based on the work of Jim Thompson, Omaha native and pulp artist.

Finally, here is the finished mural designed using ideas from my mentee, Andrew, Benson High soon-to-be sophomore. If I can, I'll post a "before" image.
