From my friend Artist David Bienkowski

Hey,
Help me get the word out.

This Saturday, July 12, I will be teaching a painting
workshop at the Chartreuse Muse. It will be from 10am
to 2pm with an half hour lunch and the cost will be

My watercolors are coming down at Act of Kindness gallery area, to make way for featured July artist, Karen Cox. Her show opens on Wednesday. She is also known for www.justtomatoes.com an interesting site from the west side of the county. I'll still have some of my greeting cards at Act of Kindness, and hope you drop in on the new show at

I put a more detailed comment on my profile on KatnAnna's local choices site on my career in cartoons in Riverside. My friend, artist Penny Meyer, actually read in around 1981, the four to six issues of Running Fruit series from Ad Infinitum, my strip that ran for half a year in San Diego area, where I didn't get paid or even knew about it as published four years after last drawn, and had moved to Modesto. Someone recently emailed to confirm whether a underground comix zine from 1971 might be mine, it was my signature, but likely a publication by friend Jim Mitchell. Its a hazy, smokey memory of those days anyway, so any drawing I did might not come to memory, short term, or cough... likely why I haven't smoked more than cigars in a very long time now...

If you see this one on stage, it is also available for purchase, though has been noticed by friend from the front porch.  We have an art venue, so check it out, and we may have Neal who Paints on Stage, and for sure local artist Penny Meyer be out doing oil painting demo, doing a painting from photos of Robben Ford who played earlier this year in Modesto

I live downtown, and sometimes people catch me painting out on the front porch, like my mail man. This week, happened to have canvas and that box of acrylics I don't use too often, and .... well, they're new. So is the coffee mug cafepress.com spot I put up as I my sister needed some new geek friendly item at Stanford's HEPL lab, that isn't physics related. Chess player in family helps that along.

One of the places my art hangs, on bar napkins downstairs, but in inks and watercolors in the old upstairs bar and hall area, is at Minnie's, where I've also done tee shirt and poster designs over the years for various events. It is also one of the places, the other would be the Tiki, where the works of Burke Tyree hang, paintings I enjoy looking at, and tonight after film society, got a chance to talk to Stuart Mah on a Tyree in distress.
