Hey! Thanks to Jeff Jahn over at PORT for the nice review of my August show at Half/Dozen Gallery (and to H/D for the opportunity)!

“Oh dear… can I have a martini first?”
– A nice LOL (Little Old Lady) in response to my announcement that I needed to yank off the bandage that was stuck to her skin wound.
