Well had all these painting of mines on the walls of our living room for the past three decades or so
Seems they multiplied faster these last few years
At the Mrs’ suggestion
Wanted to clear the walls for a spell, didn’t know quite what to do with em all
They kinda personal
Then a beautiful Brazilian architect named Ana knew a guy, worked for a guy –
Another architect named Ben
One with a gallery and community space, out in the Sunset District of San Francisco off the N Judah muni metro line
Called Birdhouse Gallery, at 2548 Judah Street between 30th and 31st Avenue
And they set me up with a show in a place with white walls, proper hangers and the whole deal
I’m still in a state of shock and surprise
Had to get this app called instagram and join the modern generation of addicts to publicize
The show is there till the end of the month or so
If you are in the neighborhood, c’mon by and say hi
Or mark your calendar for the storytelling days on August 23rd and August 28th, 6-9 pm
The first one already passed, it was about snakes
Christian snakes of satan and fallen angels, Chinese snakes of commerce and year of the – , Taiwanese aboriginal snakes of the ancestors, and the Amazonian constrictor snakes that mimic vines and rivers and carry the natives atop the milky way in canoes
Next time will be about birds. Birds of the soaring skies like eagles, and birds of the water like the anhinga and loon. Flights of feathers and spirit across and between borders boundaries and worlds
okey dokey, tchau! See you there!!
