Ain't No Such Things As Halfway

(artwork by Darcy Reenis)

Friday night was the opening reception for the MYSTERY SELECTIONS show at ATHICA...needless to say, it was a lot of fun, though I do believe I might've picked up a cold while we were out...



They introduced all the artists who were taking part in the exhibition. From left to right: our own Missy Kulik, Rebecca Brantley, Will Eskridge, Cindy Jerrell, Jorie Berman, and Darcy Reenis.



Afterwards, Havi entertained Missy and Laura with her crazy stories, and then she drew a TEMPORARY TATTOO on Missy's arm...









I really dug the bold graphic style of Darcy Reenis...

Will Eskridge had these dioramas built in these boxes that were only visible through peepholes...they also had wind-up music boxes built into them. I really liked the RAD CAT painting he did...having grown up in Southern California I have an affinity to the word "rad". The initials of my full name also happen to be RAD (Raoul Antonio de la Cruz), so there's that too...





After the reception, we had a late night dinner downtown at COZY YUM YUM, with our friends Mark, Laura, and Gary. Gary decided to cap the night with GINGER ICE CREAM, which came served in a martini glass...
