Going Big In Las Vegas!

It has been far too long since I updated my blog, mostly because I don't think many folks read it, nor care what I have to say.  I wonder if I really need to contribute to the thousands of other bloggers that post stuff for the sheer joy of sharing the minutae of their lives.  Okay, so here goes!

Las Vegas!  I am excited beyond words that I am showing my work in Sin City!  This is not only the largest town outside of Washington D. C. where I've shown, but it will also be the best exposure my work has ever had!  Who would have thought that atomic testing and communist paranoia could be so popular.  I have two paintings and a photo of third one that will be on display for the entire year of 2011 at the Atomic Testing Museum in Las Vegas.  They are bringing me out for the opening gala in late January - how cool is that.  The exhibit, entitled "Building Atomic Las Vegas" is a celebration of the anniversary of the museum and the Nevada Test Site.  My painting will be on the catalog cover, the DVD cover and other promotional materials.  They will also be selling prints in the museum store.  Such a huge opportunity for me and my work.  I hope something comes of it.  We are tapped out after moving to Nebraska, so maybe we will get a little scratch to climb out of the hole.

Other than debt, Nebraska has been pretty nice.  The job is nice, the people are nice.  Plus, we have a new little Waterfield on the way, so all is well.  I have two more paintings on the easel now, so I better get to work!

Peace out,
DW

  1. Hey D-Dub. Congratulations on the showing in Vegas. That's pretty big. I plan on going there in July so I will see if I can talk the Fiancee into making a stop by to see that!

    Congrats on the new kid also!
    PS. I read your blog!
