The Genpets TM Project is coming along on schedule. Designs are becoming more finalized, the box and accessories mostly. The animals themselves are still not taking shape. I seem to be designing a lot of things based on cats though, due to my recent over exposure to them (V = Crazy cat lady. And yes Dustin = Ugly).

One of my main concerns throughout, has been where I will show this sculpture. Where will I get gallery space, how much it will cost me, etc. I don’t mind spending a thousand $ or so on a gallery space later, however, I don’t have a significant body of work I would show yet. A 3-week project just doesn’t give me time to produce something of gallery scale and quality. (Well, for many it does, but my goal is never to be one of the crowd) I view the Genpets TM piece as my first gallery quality work.

Back on topic, today Johanna announced we’ll be participating in the Go West show. It will be a juried selection of course. But you know me. That doesn’t scare me in the slightest. I don’t lose. So expect to get invites from me in 4 months for a gallery opening on queen west, with my name. You might want to go.
