Antagonist Show In NYC on September 6
Yes, that’s right. Outsider art is antagonist art. The Antagonist Movement with its roots in the East Village has invited me up to the Niagara Club for a one night group show on Thursday, September 6. I have accepted, and eagerly look forward to my first show in New York where I’ll show five or six works.
Here is the Niagara info:
112 Ave A at the corner of 7th St. East Village NYC
The gallery is downstairs past the bar.
Tele: 212-420-9517
Show opens at 9 PM. All artwork hangs for the duration of the night until closing time at 2 AM.

American Visionary Museum
Well, yesterday was a fine day in the life of this particular artist. The American Visionary Museum in Baltimore, MD purchased some of my art. It’s not that big a deal, yet, but it’s a great start. Shows promise of things to come, perhaps. I’ll write up the full story in the near, but right now I’ve got to head out to buy some crab meat for the crab dressing cassarole I sling together for events like this awesome pig roast some rocker friends and their roller derby girls are hosting this afternoon.
But check out the museum. It’s on the map. And now, in some small way, so am I.
