sowebo arts festival













































sowebo arts festival is a local bohemian gig in a somewhat sketchy part of town that attracts lots of good art and music. this year i decided to enter their poster-making fun and submitted these two pieces. the top pix is made of cut up magazine pages i put together one day at work when the power had gone out and we had no phone, electricity or computer access. luckily i work in an art center with with alot of large windows and good natural light. the second set of photos are drawings made with oil pastels. i see faces in everything: water spots on the floor, shapes of leaves, clouds... these are some of the faces i see in my imagination!
