I got my Artist bio for ArtPrize (http://www.artprize.org/about) completed, finished and turned in my application for a $2000.00 seed grant through ArtPrize and I have almost all of my materials purchased and gathered! Looks like this is really gonna happen. Now I just need to secure a venue.

An open art competition, giving away the world's largest art prize. Part arts festival, part social experiment - this international art contest is decided solely on a public vote.

I signed a lease on my very own shop space today! In Grand Rapids MI. I will begin working on projects there, after May 1st. Here is a quick video tour of the space with some of the tools already there. The sound track is courtesy of my nephew Noah James, expressing his approval of the new space.
