I’m excited to announce my exhibit opening at Right Brain Brewery in Traverse City next weekend!

All the work is already up, so you can stop by anytime to check it out, but I’d really love it if everyone could come to the opening next Saturday night!

If you are anywhere near Traverse City or even in Grand Rapids or lower Michigan wondering what to do for fun next weekend you should definitely make the trip up to beautiful Traverse City! Nothing’s better after a long day at the beach or hike along the dunes than a hand-crafted brew from Right Brain Brewery!

My reception will be from 7-9pm so please stop by and say hello and hopefully you or a friend can go home with some radical new artwork for your walls.

If you’ve never been to Right Brain then you’ve been missing out! Each beer is hand-crafted with the same kind of TLC that we visual artists know is required to create something that we can be proud of. The atmosphere is really fun and relaxed—way cooler than a bar with no big-screen TVs in sight!

Come support local art and just have an awesome Saturday evening at Right Brain!

Let me know if you can make it by Likeing the event on Facebook.

We used to live in a magical place called Montana.

We were obsessed with Big Sky Brews, even though we could only afford it once in a while as a treat. It had been a half-decade since I’d had one of their finely crafted beverages, but we finally started seeing Moose Drool here in Michigan. In fact, we even found our favorite seasonal from Big Sky – Summer Honey!

We’ve already got quite a few amazing micro-brews to choose from right here in northwest lower Michigan, but I’m pretty excited about this new development.

Plus it takes me back… ah Montana…

One of the biggest truths I’ve been learning about myself recently is how I allow fear to make my decisions.

I have a lot of fear, usually irrational feelings about the imagined trajectory of my life.

Of course, when I get a call from my doctor like the one earlier this week…

those fears are justified I think.

So at the end of a long day and dealing with a really scary phone call and imagining a really scary future…

It was nice to get this message in a bottle.

Thanks, Magic Hat.
