On the Edge Goes to Houston

Woohoo! I was accepted into the stARTup Houston Art Fair!
October 11-13
Hotel Icon
220 Main Street, Houston, TX 77002

I AM SO EXCITED!

I'll be showing new On the Edge prints along with Daily Trucks.
More details as I get them!

The concept of the stARTup Art Fair is: artists do a takeover of floors of a hotel. Each artist gets a room and redecorates it with their art. Here is a link to my post about stARTup LA, which I visited last February.

Is this my room?

Greetings from Hudspeth County, Texas

I have been working through my images captured five years ago on my circumnavigation of the contiguous US. Some I've been uploading to Saatchi Art, others I'm keeping private for my Patreon subscribers.

What became very apparent with the latest batch is how totally inspired I get on a forty mile stretch of I-10 in western Texas.

Here is one in the original 53 Edge images (and it was the only "out the side window" view that rendered well in the 2014 version of Waterlogue:

This image, (which I'm only posting here):

Is compositionally very similar to this chalk pastel from 1994:

In 2014, I drove through at the perfect time, with the sun stating to set and the shadows growing long.
