4Play: An Erotic Art Exhibition


"No Nude Swimming, Acapulco, Mexico"

https://www.facebook.com/events/923306407776080/permalink/945647518875302/?notif_t=event_comment_follow&notif_id=1473127535993741

"Romero of Bellaire"
Taft McWhorter and Geoff Wilder, along with Interesting Houston present for 4Play: An Erotic Art Exhibition. Featuring titillating artwork by Houston's top artists! In addition, we will have live body painting, several interactive exhibits, an erotic photo booth and a DJ. Guests will enjoy a welcome libation, aphrodisiac lite bites and swag bags. 

This event has been a sellout in past years for obvious reasons, so purchase your tickets early. This year we are taking over the "underground" at the JW Marriott Downtown, and will have a professional photographer on hand to capture the festivities. We have some amazing packages available so be sure to click on eventbrite to read all about it!

Here and There on The Web:



Summer exhibition ended, work at The Raven is still up.
My donation to Writers in the Schools (WITS) benefit gala yesterday, I guess I missed it but I hope my painting (seen in the background on the left) sold for this worthy cause. I just found these pictures on Facebook.

Lima Peru; Watercolors 2015

Lima Peru; 
Watercolors 2015

As I have done my entire life, my trip to Peru with Rudy this August 2015 included recording impressions and ideas and memories through ink sketches on receipts, tickets, and brochures of any kind and later coloring them with watercolor, ink, and just about anything I get my hands on.
This is a group of 7 varying in theme from Peruvian history of culture and art as well as a most contemporary nightlife experience.
All were finished in August 2015 and are treated with a deacidification formula to protect the paper. I hope to frame and show the entire group together sometime in the future.
