    - New Year means a New Addition to the site coming!

With the recent flux of photographic work, I am adding a photography section to the site. It will focus a lot more on images I have taken of bands and people in general. That is not to say other subjects will not appear. Heavily manipulated images will still appear in the regular gallery section. I am very happy to now offer this section. Also, as a result, I am available for shoots.

 

    - At last an update!

Wow, it has been quite a while since I have updated this. Many apologies. In the past few months, I have been very engrossed in my racing schedule. Since my last update, I have run two marathons, completed a couple of small pieces and looked into moving still. However, the most notable project was doing a marquee for the Cabaret Theatre in New Brunswick for one of their shows. Aside from a few mishaps, it was a tremendous time. And it looks like I will be doing several pieces for them in the future. In addition, there are a few other projects connected to the theatrical world coming down the pipe that I am super excited about in the new year. Besides that I have stepped up my photography equipment to create even more fantastic work. Plus, it will allow me to put photos of the projects not online currently up as my previous camera went missing in Philadelphia.

 

    - Happenings around the studio

Things around the PopactionArt Center have been rather lax for the past few months. Relocation plans are still in effect but it may no longer be Philadelphia. After some home renovations, I have managed to start work on a few new pieces. If you were at the Raritan River Fest on 9/30/06, you got to see the latest. Also, I recently completed a duck piece for a show in Spain. For photos of the Albus Cavus ducks, check out their site. In the meantime, I will be working on a few projects in between my training for the NYC Marathon.

 

    - Sights & Sounds Show: 7/14/06

Albus Cavus has organized a one night show next Friday, July 14th at the Starbucks Cafe & Kilmer Park located on the corner of Albany & George Streets in New Brunswick. I have been asked to contribute some work to this amazing event that will feature music outside as well as artwork both in and out. This once in a lifetime event is scheduled to run from 5:30 to 9pm. This might be your last chance to see some of my work publicly for a little while before I go back into hiding.

 

    - On Hiatus

Due to an upcoming relocation to Philadelphia and an accident last month, things will be a bit slow around these parts with respect to the site. However, I assure you there are things in the works that will rock your socks. Also, I do want to mention the 'PopPollock' show in the train station was a huge success! Thanks to all those that came out and picked up some work.

 

    - 431 Gallery Closed

At this time, I am sad to announce that the Albus Cavus Gallery in Highland Park I have been helping to run is shutting down due to the landlord finding a new tenant for the space. Relocation plans at this time have not been discussed due to the recent announcement which caught us all by surprise.

    - "PopPollock" (working show title) Solo Show, Train Station New Brunswick,  NJ - Opening May 5th

    - "Are we dead yet?" Show, Highland Park, NJ - March 24th to April 23rd

    -Albus Cavus show closing Party on March 3rd

An update regarding the 431 Raritan Avenue show, it has just been announced that there will be a closing party for the current show on March 3rd from 7-10pm. On that night, we will be capping off what already has been a hugely successful exhibit. So if you have no yet come by to check out all the magnificent art March 3rd will be your last chance to see this particular show. Also of note is that on the following day, the gallery will have a work party as the space is going to be given a small face lift. For those interested in helping out you can contact Albus Cavus through albuscavus@gmail.com or their website: www.albuscav.us

 

-BIG NEWS! : Exhibit Space To Re-Open!

Problems with the gallery space at 431 Raritan Avenue have subsided and the space is due to reopen with a new show on Feb 10th. I have been asked to be a part of the reopening show and will have work on display. The amount on display will be between 3-5.

 

    -New Photos Coming Soon!

In the past couple of weeks, a slew of new works have been created and are awaiting pictures to upload to the gallery. Look for those in the upcoming weeks.

 

-Exhibition Problems

Last weekend the opening of the show at 431 Raritan Avenue did very well. So well in fact, it has run into problems because of the popularity. Apparently, the borough is requiring a business license for the space now. At this time as a result, the exhibit cannot be open to the public. However, the space is still viewable in terms of passing by and looking through the window. Also at this time, Albus Cavus and Art Murmur are working on obtaining all the paperwork to reopen the space. The landlord who is donating the space to be used is helping cover all costs. For more information go to www.albuscav.us

 

    -BIG NEWS! : Exhibit Opening This Weekend!

Just this week, I got asked to be a part of a great art show. Opening this weekend (Dec 16-18) and running through Christmas, Art Murmur and Albus Cavus are presenting a show on Raritan Avenue in Highland Park next to Old Things for a New Age. Lots of great artists like Mike Ciccotello, Leon Rainbow, Eric Kennedy, B*ord and Kris Lewis not to mention many more will have work on display. For more information go to www.albuscav.us

 

    -December Holiday Offer!

For the month of December all art offered on Popaction Art will be available at a 'Make an offer' price. This means if there is a work of art you might like to own, think how much you would be willing to pay for it and contact me via phone, mail or email (Popactionart@gmail.com). If the piece is available and the offer is sound, you shall have yourself a work of art. In the event the offer is higher than what I typically would quote it for myself you shall get my cheaper quoted price. (Note: Shipping & Handling costs will be added to the quote/sale price.)

 

    -Benefit Show Auction Online!

To view all the pieces in the hurricane benefit auction go to: Hurricane Benefit Silent Auction where you can also place bids on the works until December 3rd.

   

    -Collaborating & Benefiting

Recently, I have had the pleasure to create a special piece for a Hurricane Benefit auction. Organized by Peter Brauch and Time & Space Limited, the auction is taking place in Upstate New York. From the buzz, this looks to be a great event. Hopefully, lots of money will be raised for those who need the help. In addition to the benefit auction, I am currently working on a collaboration with a local artist that I will share more information on in the upcoming weeks. This is very exciting because the artist is one I really enjoy their work so it is a honor to be asked to be part of this.

 

   

    -Gallery Section Reorganized & Now Updated Too!

The gallery section has been changed to reflect some of the progression I have undergone as an artist. It is my hope that you will enjoy this format much more. Update: The proposed 15 images have been added.

 

    -Commissioned for Mosaic

This week I agreed to complete a piece for Mosaic Magazine. The piece will be on display at their offices at the Douglass College Student Center. It is expected to be completed by Oct 3rd. (Update: Currently Now Viewable.)
