A new show at the Red Bicycle in Chapel Hill
I will have a show opening this weekend at the Red Bicycle Coffee Shop on the corner of MLK/Airport Rd and Homestead Road -- physical address is 2805 Homestead in the little shopping center with Chapel Hill Wine. It's where the old coffee shop was located. I'll hang the show either Friday or Saturday and it will be up through December. I may try to have a event but I'll keep everyone posted.
I will have some new things, some old things and for the first time some photography (priced conveniently for the holidays!) A couple of samples are below.

Carrboro Art: where next?
The recent events surrounding the exciting Franklin Street Artist Collective have gotten me thinking. What about Carrboro? I know that Carrboro artists can apply to be in the Collective but I'm talking about a lively art scene here in the Paris of the Piedmont.
So any ideas? For example, how do we liven up the 2ndFriday Art Walk? We've lost a couple of places that used to be open such as Jessie Kalisher. Traffic is a little hit and miss. I think I'll propose that the Town Art Committee do a little survey of the downtown merchants and organizations who are on the tour and also those who have dropped off.
What about other issues such as inexpensive studio space, public art, mixing visual art with other media? We're creative, let's use that energy!

A WaPo review of Erica Eisdorfer's "The Wet Nurse's Tale"
This past Friday Carolyn See wrote a quite positive review in the Washington Post of Carrboro's Erica Eisendorfer's just published novel. She writes:
It's available at bookstores all over the Triangle or if you must at Amazon
.
From the title and the cover, this book seems a little dubious -- lots of breasts and steamy sex and way too much romping. But "The Wet Nurse's Tale" turns out to be informative, unusual and intelligent.
