This is a Public Service Announcement

Not much to say about this particular self-portrait, really...I'm mostly only posting at all today, cuz I needed an excuse to blab about the "I Know What You Did Last Summer" Exhibition Opening and Artists' Reception that I'm hosting tonight (September, 6th) from 6:00 - 10:00 p.m., at my precious 1 lb. Gallery (29 N. Loudoun St. in Winchester, Va.)!!! All of y'all local peeps better getchyer butts up in that piece this evening! Gon' be a super fun time - guaranteed! 

Each and every photograph on display in the exhibit is available for purchase, and they are all priced extremely reasonably. Plus, I've got 1 lb. Gallery, and Big Ugly t-shirts in all sizes, as well as affordable, cute, little Instagram prints, and one-of-a-kind, archival quality prints of a wide variety of my self-portraits - all of which would not only make nice additions to your art collections (and wardrobes), but would also make very nice gifts! I mean, let's face it - it's never too early to get a jump on the derned Christmas shopping...am I right?

Ok, it's decided then - I'll see you all at the gallery tonight - YAY!

Me and My Man(nequin)

 I'm laughing out loud as I'm working on this post (no lie!), because these pictures are utterly ridiculous - no? But I had heaps of fun takin' 'em, I brought home an inordinate amount of images that I actually do sorta, kinda like, and because along with all that, I'm also grateful to a certain "Mr. Jones" for affording me the opportunity to shoot with his mannequin - I feel that I must celebrate by breaking from what's become my tradition of posting a scant, single selfpic per entry - by featuring a whopping THREE selfpics this time, wooot!

Topsy Turvy

"Upside Down" was the theme for last week's "Big Ugly Land of Oz" self-portraiture challenge...and for next week's challenge, Osmyn has asked that we take selfpics in which we try to recreate the subject matter of a famous painting or sculpture...which for me is actually kind of awesome, cuz there's something along those lines, that I've been threatening to mess around with for awhile now - but for whatever reason, I've just never gotten around to it!

Gotta Lose The Spare Tire

Another self-portrait from my shoot, earlier this week (which I enjoyed immensely, in case I forgot to mention it). Now I realize that the content in this image makes virtually no sense, but so what...right? Right.

I Was Framed

"Thanks!' to my two friends who turned me on to this remarkable location, plus a handful of other possible venues in which to shoot!!! After four hours of staging self-portraits at this killer spot, I've still got plenty of pics. yet to share! 

This One Just Came Outta the Swamp...

The theme for last week's Big Ugly Land of Oz self-portraiture challenge, was "Water". Why I chose to stage my self-shots in a nasty, fly-infested, stanky, mucky, cow poopy pond - I'll never know...but oddly enough - despite ending up with lacerated and badly bruised hands, along with a foot and ankle so cut up and infected, that I was pretty sure I was gonna end up with MRSA - I felt supremely happy throughout this entire shoot, and beyond...

Tinder Sticks

Had such a great day of shooting, earlier this week...which I'm delighted to say, only added to the resounding feeling of rejuvenation that I'm so grateful to be experiencing lately...

"THANK You!" to the swell fella who gave me permission to stage several different shoots at his home, the other day...but more importantly - Thanks also for rekindling a fire that I've reluctantly, and unsuccessfully tried to extinguish for over a year now...
