By The Way, Ma...

So yeah, um, Friday night bore a second dose of great news in a week.  I attended an opening event for Vision Shift at the Center for Contemporary Arts and finally met Mariel Nanasi, among others involved in the project, for the first time.  We greeted and hugged and she inquired whether or not I'd seen the article last week.  Of course I did. Then she dropped the shiny bombshell that Modern Man would ALSO be in the Santa Fe edition of the Albuquerque Journal, which has a readership of 300,000, the following day. I might have squealed like a small child or teenage girl who just got asked to the prom, gave her a big hug, and spent much of the next day pillaging local newspaper vending machines. Thank you again Mariel!

Anyhow, this newfound web knowledge came at a perfect time, because this morning I awoke to some great news: my mixed media piece, "Modern Man", was featured on the front page of the Local News section in the Santa Fe New Mexican:

I gave Mariel Nanasi, one of the great minds behind "Vision Shift! Art in the Age of Climate Change," some artwork for promotional uses a few months ago and hadn't heard much; she said she was "working on a press release" but I didn't know she had this up her sleeve. Thank you Mariel!
