I made this fruit hat to wear at the Danielson concert in Washington DC next weekend. I will be leading a conga line for “People’s Partay“, because I felt bad that nobody went for it in Pittsburgh.

Psalm 103 excerpt
Who pardons all of your iniquitiesWho heals all the diseases within youWho redeems your life from the pitWho crowns you with lovingkindness and compassionThe Lord is graciousSlow to anger abounding in lovingkindnessHe has not dealt with us according to our sinsNor rewards us according to themFor as high as the heavens are above the earthSo great is his lovingkindness toward those who fear his nameAs far as the east is from the west so farSo far he removed our transgressions from usJust as a father has compassion on his sonSo the Lord has compassion on those who fear himFor he himself knows our frameOh he is mindful that we are but dustBut the lovingkindness of the lord is from everlasting to everlasting -

Here’s the last painting I completed for my class, which is over now. I’m going to have a gallery show at the BC3 campus in two years, which seems like a lot of time, but I need to complete about 20 paintings between now and then, which means I have to really push to get about 1 painting done per month. It takes me about 9-12 hours to do one painting, and I don’t get much time to work, so it will be tough. But it’s good to have a goal to work towards, otherwise I probably wouldn’t do anything at all…
