Can you see Jar Jar Binks?

. SF Open Studios

If you haven't passed out after watching Saturday morning cartoons & eating your sugary chocolate cocobombs, come visit me at SF Open Studios this weekend.

I will be at Clara Street Studios with fellow Kala printmakers Jack Fahnestock & Dennis Johnson, as well as painters Melissa Wagner & Jerry Ververka.

There will be snacks.

. Wood & Wine

Dampened white quartered oak smells like wine. Yeah.

. Aaaaaaaaaaaaart

We (Nif and me) have things in this exhibition at Downtown Bar and Restaurant in sunny downtown Berkeley.

The Artists' Reception is Monday, Sept 22, 6-9pm. What the hell else are you going to do on a Monday night?

. Bookworks 2008

The PCBA's triennial artist book exhibition is on display in the San Francisco Main Library's Skylight Gallery. I forgot to post this before the opening reception, so I'm afraid you missed all the free wine. But I'm in it, so wander over if you have time.

. Fin

'Fin' (french for 'the end') is a Semordnilap of 'nif,' which is funny to me because I never really finish things. So, in suit, 5 books, 3 boxes, & 2 slip cases are glued, bound, & flat, making this project done enough for now.

The construction zone on our dining room table is cleared & can now be used for food; heavy art books used for weights have been re-alphabetized; glue rubbings are now sucked & stuck in the vacuum; and one artist book set has been turned in to the gallery. It's time to start something new.

Yes, Tina, you know what this means...

. Weighting

There is a little book under there & it better be flat.

. Binding

. Art & Impermanence

One of the three pieces in the Art & Impermanence exhibition.

. Kala Open Studio
