Upcoming Art show in Jersey City: Prime Surreal Estate

This Sept 27 be sure to attend the opening for Prime Surreal Estate. I met with Skot Olsen; a superb artist in S. Florida spinning his tales on canvas for you, the viewer to appreciate. As a side note, for those who think being a painter is easy, you have deadlines, schedules, and everything else.

There and back again...

This past month we saw the activation of the Hadron Collider due for it's first scheduled collision around halloween 2008; dodged hurricanes Gustav, Hanna, and Ike in South Florida, flew across the US on Sept 11 uneventfully (thank you), attended an Art Show opening at the Bear & Bird Gallery in Lauderhill and enjoyed airborne maple flavored cotton candy; and finally found out what the train engineers are up to in LA- texting on their cell phones!!??
