Shift of Focus

We’ve been in Kansas City for nearly two months now. The Organic Art Factory itself is taking off in new directions. Most recently, we completed two commissioned paintings for the Fairmont Hotel in Chicago, and have begun work on a series of paintings entitled, The Air with Variations.

Teaching is going well at the Kansas City Art Institute and the University of Missouri – Kansas City.

We’ve also been writing a column as Lilika Ruby entitled Art & Sex for the online magazines, The Faster Times, and Ovi Magazine.

Stay tuned for details about an upcoming show…

You can really learn a lot reading facebook status updates. A few of my favorite quotes from some of our facebook friends (fbfs):

Dax Tran-Caffee “successfully traded a painting for poetry – creativity is the currency of the FUTURE”

Tif Bullard “life is full of flakes – some snow, some human.”

Joshua Esmanuel-David Slater “I wish I didn’t have to pay rent and medical bills and school tuition and other bills so I can shop all day. But then I would be living in my mama’s basement…I still look good so it all works out.” :)

Hirst: Golden Calf

The last paragraph in particular might even give one hope.
