This Wednesday, in collaboration with Joshua Adams/Kitchen Sink, I’ll be having an opening at Goodnight Gracie in Royal Oak. The event starts at 8:30 and Joshua Adams spins old school funk/soul classic rock and hiphop. Art will be on display for one week. The vibe is relaxed. I’ll be there as well just chillin’ and swillin’ so come hang out. There will be a mix of originals and prints there for sale so come and pick up something new. See you there!
