The one to watch -- stream it today!

This is it, y’all, this right here: the art documentary series I’m in is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video!

Nearly a year ago, I was interviewed for the Seattle episode of “The Story of Art in America.” The series takes an in-depth look at artists producing work outside the New York art scene. You might remember the video shoot was at the Northwest African American Museum (NAAM). You — yes, you — voted for me in NAAM’s social media contest to select an artist to represent Seattle’s Black community.

Would you be willing to help me one more time? I’d like you to go to Amazon Prime Video and leave an honest review of the Seattle episode:

  1. Watch episode 10 of “The Story of Art in America”

  2. Go to the video listing on Amazon Prime Video

  3. Scroll down and click on the “Write a customer review” button

  4. Please keep it simple and to-the-point (Amazon deletes overly positive reviews)

  5. Ask your friends/ family/ followers to do the same: watch the episode, then write an Amazon Prime Video review.

It’s a lot like reviewing a book on Goodreads or Amazon: the more reviews, the more likely people will see the docuseries — and the first weeks are crucial to getting the word out. Enjoy, and remember to tell other viewers what you think about it!

The plan for 2022

[dusts off laptop] Hey! Didja miss me?

I missed you… but I had some serious thinking to do about my blog. Not everyone needs a weekly update, so I’m gonna do a few things differently in 2022.

  • You’ll still hear about the big art news: If you follow me on social media, you know I stayed busy with speaking engagements, commissions and media interviews, in the midst of making new work. I’ll keep updating you as things come up.

  • But not every week: I’m just going to post about said events and shows as they happen, or are scheduled. So you might hear from me on a Wednesday and a Friday, or maybe just on Tuesday. The best way to get details: sign up for newsletter posts on my home page.

  • When I work with friends and partners: During the first half of 2022, I get to collaborate on a public art project with old and new friends! I’m also leading collage art workshops at the Kirkland Arts Center, as well as North Seattle College in the spring.

First up is my “Collage, Off AND On the Wall” class. Ask me for details: I’m send them directly to your inbox in the next post. Looking forward to 2022 with you!

I need your help to get me through the last few hours of this week’s Artist Search at the Northwest African American Museum (NAAM). The museum — and one artist — will be featured in an upcoming Amazon Prime series. So the museum’s asked their Facebook and Instagram followers for help in deciding “who will represent Black art in Seattle!”
