Sat. Night Out & About

by | Dec 2, 2007 | Art Events

Ran all over town on Saturday night. First stop was Chinatown to go see my friends in FS. Then ran down to Santa Ana to catch the Bob Pece show and watch David Lee give some money to the winners of the Santa Ana Business Council Art Grant. Then off to J. Flynn for the Ornament Show. Fun was had by all and here are some pics:

They’re maple seed pods falling in the pattern that bombs fell over Baghdad. The plan is to drop one over the desert soon filled with real seeds. Delivering life, rather than taking it.
