Frank Peto with his first show

The (October 1-31st) show at Well's Landing Gallery in the Short North, 2006. This was a blast. My friend frank peto shown wanted to show for the 1st time and we ended up at the same gallery with a mutual friend named Gary Harper who is the owner and a photographer. Gary has great work and I was a clothed model for him in 2004. He used my images for sale at Well's Landing as well. It was very funny to be hanging my art, talking with the public then they could go and buy an image of me before they left which had been altered by a photoshop paint program. Was told that one photo of mine had lesbian appeal. Who knew??? Life is so funny, it must have been the buzz cut.

This show was also nice because it got Dan Ferlan another artist friend of mine out of his house, he paints full time and it is hard to reach him. That was another plus and got very good responses from people. It is hard culturally to interact with some of the soccer mom's from the suburbs because it is such a different world from what i live in, but none the less i invited them into my space, even if they didn't understand and thought i was from another country.

Frank is a very alive person and said he bought the clothes off someones back that day to wear to his opening. I thought that was terrific and he looked great too! Artist's lives are so interesting sometimes. Things went so well with Well's Landing that i was asked back for November where I am currently showing my Go! paintings. I created a new one which can only be seen in the gallery now. So stop by Well's Landing Gallery in the Short North and I hope to see everyone at the Gallery Hop Dec. 2, 2006!
