The Canvas Project

"The goal of the exhibition is to create a visual encyclopedia using mini canvases and artists from all over the world. At least one of your canvases will be published in an Art House book and one will be on display at the worlds busiest Airport, The Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport."

The entry fee is $18 and they send you five 3"x 3" canvas'and then pick one to display in the airport. GENIOUS...on their part. They're getting people to pay them for art! It's true, but I also think it's worth it. Plus, they'll publish a book with your work in addition to the exhibition. I've always wanted to leave my mark in the world, this just might be it. ps. join me!

Cheers.

To my good good friend Cyndi!

On her 25th birthday. March 3, 2009 Happy Birthday!

I remember you as rain-
that we split like droplets against the pavement
{with lips parted, teeth bared}
!THUNDER!
-in your throat, against my skin
manifesting within cloaked eyes
and gentle still, that pulsation
of words held deep and squeezing corners of eyes
{where tears might from}
MIGHT FLY.
