Made our way down 95 (such a painful drive) to Richmond on Friday for the opening of Tables to Walls at Quirk. It was jam-packed with wall to wall art lovers (and VCU kiddies required to attend for illustration class.) It was a huge honor to be on the wall next to some of my illustration heroes like Gary Kelley and Anita Kunz and Joe Morse. Amazing to see the control on display at such a small scale. Greg Swearington does paperback covers to exact scale with his meticulous style – pure insanity. Thanks to Beth and Robert and Sterling for putting it together.
We then were able to take Gina out for dinner at the Tobacco Company (it IS Richmond after all.) We were treated to a Johnny Cash cover band – good look with a decent sound – and everything coated in Jack Daniels. (Ya know, because of the race, explained the cocktail waitress. No sweetie, I don’t know. Lucky for both of us I do enjoy a bourbon at every possible turn.) We dropped her off at her dorm and were treated to the odors that permeate each and every corner of college life. And this is on the girl’s floor. I could never go back just based on the smells alone. I did take pleasure in my usual juvenile activities as I wrote salacious comments on all of the message boards and mixed and matched name tags on the doors. I know, I know…
