Good news, I went out for a delicious meal at the Korean BBQ with Chris and V (the one who invited us to her house party in Berkeley) today, it was DAMN good. I also had a pretty reasonable critique with C. Baldwin, and I have to get this postering stuff started. I really want to get out there and do it, but I’m as of yet not sure of the best way to execute the project.
I still am working on how to get the Javits finished on time, as I am struggling on almost every aspect of it, but like everything else, it will get done. Tomorrow is the deadline for the SMI project, and luckily I did that yesterday, so I could have today free to work on my projects.
I got a ride home from Hillary today, and she thought the new prints were pretty nice too.
I can’t wait to see Tizz and the rest of the Crew back at I-Town, and then head back to CHI…I am actually filled with a bit of trepidation about the cold, as I’ve been wearing t-shirts…very strange, but I like it!

In May 2004 he attained an MFA degree in the New Genres department of the San Francisco Art Institute. Presently Pete is a practicing artist whose work is in numerous private collections and has been exhibited in New York, California, and internationally.
