Catherine of motobus and I will be heading up to Philly for Art Star this weekend- a 2-day extravaganza of art and crafts. There will be over 120 vendors taking over Penn’s Landing and offering a huge range of products! If you’re in town stop by and see us- we’re booth number 5.

I’ll be showing my new map journals- a small soft-cover book that fits in a pocket (well, my pocket anyway), and features the same great old maps as my hardcover journals.

Thanks to everyone who attended the gallery opening on Friday! We had a nice turnout and it was fun to see people who I haven’t seen in a while. The show will be up through the end of June and I hope to get some good shots of the gallery up soon.

Gallery 17 will feature woodcuts and watercolors by Val Lucas along with intaglio and silkscreen prints by Michael Moore. Please join us for an artists’ reception Friday, May 15 from 7-9 pm. Works will remain on display through June 30, 2009. Gallery 17 is located at 229 W. Chase St.

Lucas, owner of Bowerbox Press, combines her woodcuts with hand-set type and digitally designed plates. Her prints are inspired by birds and historical printing techniques.

Moore, an MFA student at Towson University, is intrigued by geometric forms and designs and integrates them into his exploration of intaglio, silkscreen and mixed media images.

***Attendees will receive 10% off non-sale art supplies from 7-9 pm!!!!
