“Your paintings actually look better in person.”
It’s true, my paintings are convinced that they don’t photograph well, and I have to agree. They’re not the most photogenic-types. I’m only glad that someone else said it.
This Thursday, you can see some of my paintings in person and one of the subjects in the flesh as well!

If you’re a Portlander, you may know Kirk and his antics from various street corners (including the one across from Powell’s Books). He’ll be performing at City Hall this Thursday.
