It seems like recent weeks leading up to my show have been packed with chores, meetings and a lot of organizing. The mornings begin with a few hours of emails and online updates and the rest of the day is an attempt to complete as many tasks as possible off a list that rarely shortens. Obligations other than SNYDER ART 2009 often arise. Whether a pint with a friend, visiting family, community event or a sidewalk doodle, I try to squeeze in as much as I can. Like the hours cutting for each stencil or the days of dripping for one painting, the work that goes into a creation is gruesome, but the outcome is always worth the effort.
The Coast News shot a photo of me one day as I sketched on the sidewalk out in front of my studio. The photo was later used for an article on the local art scene and the new Thursdays on the Coast self guided art stroll. The photo shows me sketching, but my pad of paper is hidden from camera. I guess a lot of people read the article because I am frequently asked what I was sketching…
