2016 Ponca City art festival review – “this year, it’s travel size”
Until now, I had never done a show the size of a food court. I had heard good things — especially that’s it’s been going on for 40+ years. This show definitely has potential, it’s in good proximity to Stillwater, the city involves stories of old oil money. And since OCCC closed up shop, I […]
2016 Golden Colorado art festival review – “Being in a different state”
Why did I go and do such a thing? I was curious. September was empty because the OCCC art festival is gone, and I was on the waitlist for Wichita. My annual trip to Italy generally takes place in May, slap bang over the top of Mayfest /Blue Dome and Paseo. If those are out, then fall […]

I’ve done that show so much (since 2009) that it will take every fiber in my being to keep from instinctively going and setting up my tent, despite their field being empty. About their decline in attendance: Why couldn’t they […]
2016 Edmond Art Festival Review – “They’re coming in hot!”

Before I gush about how this was my highest-grossing show ever, I have to offer some advice: If you do the Edmond show, either bring enough inventory, or drive home every night and make more prints. Friday will generally give you a good […]

Due to an upcoming vacation, I will be skipping the Lawton Arts Festival, the Tulsa festivals (Mayfest and Blue Dome), and the Paseo Arts Festival in OKC. Spring 2016 If you are planning to see/purchase […]
