très frais

Didn't think I would write again?...well, I am up to my ears in great cheese, bread and wine here in paris but I was surprised this morning to see "my james" on the cover of metro times...very neat and thank goodness for the internet! Travel has been great so far - and I am off to berlin saturday. I am excited to see what the booming art scene is like there!

Good-bye!

Moving Day

I'm not really one for grand good-bye's. Even good-bye's at the end of the evening, and am the perfect example of the giver of awkward one-armed hugs...When someone left I always found it much easier to give a painting or gift than sometimes expressing what they meant to me. I have found it difficult to bring an end to this blog (thus the week off). This has been a big part of my life for the past few years and has taken a lot of time and dedication but very much worth the trouble. I feel that I have gotten to know not only the local detroit art scene completely but the national/international scene as well! Well, I leave tomorrow for europe and beyond and will miss this city but can't express how much I look forward to seeing new places! It has been an interesting ride...thanks to everyone who participated and supported the blog!

Thank You

Be sure to check back in a few months....I will most likely have a link to the new LA blog...or end up never coming back and living in a beach hut in Thailand (which PS I have learned a beach front hut is under $5 a day!)

Thanks again!

Square Immediacy @ white wall gallery


Glad to see someone taking over this space (former YCG)...and I hear it will be up for grabs again in another couple months. I am in packing mode right now and it is hard to comment and feel focused on this art scene when in less than two weeks I will not only be out of this state but out of the country. I am trying to keep up with a few last good posts but excuse me if I start to fade out. This blog has been a wonderful experience and has quickly immersed me in this scene. I have met many wonderful, supportive people here and I hope to stay in touch. I haven't decided if I will be posting from europe or not - a lot depends on internet and timing and also not feeling "at work". OK, back to packing!
