So in the morning I fly out to Madison to spend a week at this:

Southern Graphic Council

I am really really excited. I have been to art conferences before, and they tend to suck. But after hours you get to go to shows, meet artists, and have good conversations.

The primary reason I am going (as many of you know) is that a project I was invited to participate in as a lead artist is being presented at this conference. It's a colabrative work between invited US artists, and Argentinian printmakers that is attempting to explore the ramifications, potential benefits, and pit falls of globalization. It explores what it means to be an international artist, in an international community, and how one's work will change given a new "physical" environment. Since I am not an international artist this is pretty big for me, cause I'm getting to show in Buenos Aires.

I'm nervous as fuck!

I am going to miss the hell out of Mogwa this week. Wish she could come...

Oh,
Did I mention I hate flying? Ever since Mogwa and I got the shit kicked out of us in front of the podium at the innaugaration we have had a hell of a time flying! I tend to get fucked with every time...

Wish me luck
