BLOID-O-RAMA AND PAINT SPATTERS - MY "RUIN YOUR DECOR" SOLO SHOW SLATED FOR LATE SEPTEMBER
Okay, for all of those who've been asking why no further mention of my first solo show ever, not to worry; I'm not gonna weasel out of it this time. I do however need to insure that when it does happen that's it's suitably ludicrous. So, at this point with it so busy on a daily basis here at ThirdStone, I'm still not going to announce the exact date but it's looking like late September will be it for sure (probably, maybe kinda sorta or not). So just stay tuned for now....
