Unfortunately we were unable to make it out to LA, so it's really wonderful to hear a few tidbits. The painting that you mention (with a falcon) is "Artist and Muse" a portrait of Jared and myself. http://www.jaredjoslin.com/jared/self/SELF06.htm The gesture of opening the eye is a reference to a rare eye condition that he's afflicted with. I'm glad you enjoyed the show and my sincere apologies that the post was not online sooner! :) Mer: Thank you oodles sweetie…the crush is mutual! *huge grin*

Iris, that's usually possible. It wasn't this time. We did the best we could. :) Glad you enjoyed the reception! I really wish I could have been there myself. “I don’t know if this is possible, but if in the future contributors feel inclined to post about art events, it would be great to do so a few days before the opening…”

It might have been due to the fact that I was there early (or late) but the opening was a nice, quiet, event. Some of the paintings had black velvet curtains that were drawn before I left, but were open when I entered. I'm not sure what that meant, probably that the paintings were sold, but I thought that was an interesting way to go about it if that was the case. My favorite of Joslin's paintings was one which is not pictured here, of a women and a man with a falcon on his arm. The woman is holding one of the man's eyelids open with her thumb and forefinger. I, and the three other people who were with me, were quite drawn to it. Golomboski's photos were also amazing. Very dark, with tentacles, and spirits, and other small eerie things which means you have to get up close to the pictures just so you can see what is going on. But once you bring your nose a few inches away, pow! Shadows and reflections turn into masks and anatomical drawings of human organs. I don't know if this is possible, but if in the future contributors feel inclined to post about art events, it would be great to do so a few days before the opening so that people who often do not know what is going on might have a chance to go to the art opening in person and perhaps meet the artist and support them by buying their work.
