Last Two Days

As all things must end, the OSU Billy Ireland show is coming down on August 3rd, after 6 months and almost 4 million sets of eyeballs.  The carpet was replaced 8 times at a cost to the taxpayer of 17 trillion dollars, while if you laid end-to-end all the velvet rope used it would stretch from downtown Washington, DC to the Oort Cloud.*

Oort Cloud (approx.)

My deepest thanks to Jenny Robb and her staff, especially the indefatigable  Caitlin McGurk, without whom I wouldn't get to use the word "indefatigable" twice in one sentence. Ya'll done good! Thanks also to my co-exhibitor and roomie, Bill Watterson, for kindnesses too numerous to mention, like not pushing me right into the fountain at the National Gallery when I got too pompous.


Showroom new! With Caitlin McGurk.

It was fun! Let's it again!

*Fanciful and meretricious.

    What an amazing show Richard, it was a pleasure to see your work in person. Oh yeah, the other guy was pretty good too. ;)

    So disappointed I couldn't make it to this show. Must console myself with re-read of "Complete Cul-de-Sac."
