Welcome, or welcome back! It's been a while, hopefully not too too long, but just long enough. Now is a good a time as any to start a blog, right?


This month I will join an esteemed group of panelists at the Critical Context Summit in Detroit on behalf of Bad at Sports. I had the pleasure of attending the summit last year and am super honored to be included in this years program.


You can register for tickets here.


Next month, in addition to celebrating my second wedding anniversary (!!) I will be "exhibiting" "artwork" in the final exhibition of the recently known but currently closing gallery, Selected Works. News about the demise of Selected Works can be found on their instagram.


More updates coming soon! Very soon ;)
