Every once in a while I do manage to get out of the studio, and bring along a few samples of my art and 'zines to art festivals and conventions around the country. Below is a list of the upcoming events I'm confirmed to appear at, with links to their sites for more information, where available. As well, if you're interested in a more historical perspective, you can click here for information on past shows, with photos and other nifty stuff.
    If you would like to receive an email notice when I will be at an event in your own neck of the woods, just go to the Contact Info and Mail List page. Note in the comment field you'd like to get an email notice of such events, and make sure to at the very least give me your name, email address , state and zip code. We'll use the state and zip code to help us know when we will be nearby, and send you an update note when we know we'll be there. You can then either come and visit in person, or will at least be warned to avoid that area should you wish!

September 4 - 6 / 2010	Arts Festival Oklahoma
	Oklahoma City, OK     —    www.occc.edu/afo/
	Juried Arts Festival    This show on the grounds of the Oklahoma City Community College is held under several huge tents, and runs over the full three day holiday weekend, featuring around 150 artists of all styles and approaches. This year they have changed the layout again on how booth locations are lined up inside the tents: looks like we're back to long rows running the full length of the tents. I should be somewhere in the middle of it all, so come out and have a look around!

September 10 and 11 / 2010	Jazz By The Boulevard
	Ft. Worth, TX     —    www.fortworthjazz.com
	Juried Arts & Music Festival    Last year the horrible weather completely shut down the festival for the weekend, but we'll be back again in 2010. The show has been shortened a bit to the core of art and music on Friday and Saturday; then we'll all get to sleep late on Sunday and rest up from the fun. I love doing this show around the park, set in the arts district just off of downtown Fort Worth. Come by to check out all the art and enjoy the live jazz!

September 17 - 19 / 2010	FenCon VII
	Dallas, TX     —    www.fencon.org
	Science Fiction and Fantasy Convention    We'll be back to this fun fall sf festival in Dallas this year. And if you need to know more than that, then how about that the writer guest of honor will be Spider Robinson, and artist guest of honor will be John Picacio, and the toastmaster will be the one and only Joe Lansdale his ownself. Always a great convention, hit their website, get your membership set up, then come on by for the weekend.

September 25, 26 / 2010	Old Pecan Street 29th Fall Festival
	Austin, TX     —    www.oldpecanstreetfestival.com
	Juried Arts Festival    It's big, and sometimes it's noiy, but this twice-a-year street party in Austin is something I try not to miss. We'll be set up somewhere along the six blocks of 6th street in downtown Austin, most likely close to one of the pizza places!

October 2 - 9 / 2010	Red River Revel Arts Festival
	Shreveport, LA     —    www.redriverrevel.com
	Juried Arts Festival    My only show in Louisiana this year, the Revel is a week long show held on a permanent festival site in downtown Shreveport, with hundreds of great artists, dozens of musical acts, and tons of food. It's a long show, a full eight days from Saturday through Saturday. And while I stay setup for that full run, dozens of artists are only there for the first half through Tuesday, then another several dozen new artists will show up for the second half, Wednesday through Saturday- so you'll have to come by twice to see it all! This is one of my favorite festivals to do each year, so come by and buy something from us before you go lose it all in the casinos just down the street!

October 23 - 24 / 2010	Huffhines Art Trails
	Richardson, TX     —    www.huffhinesarttrails.com
	Juried Arts Festival    Come visit in the great setting of this art festival, with artist tents set up along the winding trails and under the tall trees of Huffhines Park in Richardson, just north of Dallas. This is the last large outdoor show I do each year, and it's always nice to have it held in such a pretty place. Come enjoy the art, the food, the music, and maybe even drop a few bucks my way for some artwork to take home, then I can get some Christmas gifts for my friends and family,too!

November 6 - 7, 2010	Carroll Senior High School Craft Fair
	Southlake, TX     —    www.southlakecarroll.edu
	School crafts fair    Another of those fun year end craft fairs where I set up with a somewhat smaller display, but still try to bring all the goodies I can. I should be in my same space in the main room, backed to the wall of windows looking out into the parking lot. Come on by, get some Christmas gifts, get an "Inner Bot" portrait for yourself or a loved one, and watch out for the high school kids pushing all the great dessert snacks~ I know I probably added a few pounds last year from the brownies!

December 4 - 5, 2010	Grapevine Library Holiday Art Show
	Grapevine, TX     —    www.grapevinetexas.gov/IndividualDepartments/Library/tabid/101/Default.aspx
	art & crafts fair    This is the seventh annual Holiday Art Show at the Grapevine Library, and just the second year that I will be setting up my display there. It's a small but very comfortable show in a large exhibit area at the front of the library building, and how many art shows do you get to attend that are not only indoors, but have carpet under your feet, too? This will be my last show of the season before all the holidays, so come out and pick up a few gifts for friends and loved ones- or drag them along with you, and show them the pieces that you want them to get for you!
