I've talked a bit about Andy here on this blog. Generally speaking, he is the best guy I know. He and Emmet (our 12 year old) are my life. The best thing about our life is that we share everything we do with each other. He has a busy day job as Art Director at Girl Skateboards, and coaches Emmet's baseball team; I'm the team mom. We work together on my/our business, and raising Emmet has always been a team effort. Not that we don't drive each other crazy. That's just a part of it when 2 creative people collaborate on anything. After 22+ years though, we still enjoy each other, and cheer our mutual and individual successes. Let's just say, we have each other's back.
AND, he makes amazing art.
Currently his work is hanging at Hibbleton gallery in Fullerton (California) in an exhibit entitled "Spare Change." The show was curated by Russ Pope (below with Andy) whose work is behind them.
I like the direction Andy's going with these pieces. It's a bit of a departure from his past work. He's always done a lot of collage work, including bits and pieces of our lives, but these are more subtle and serene. The three of us attended the opening, and got to see some great old friends.
My boys. Aren't they cute? There's more I'd like to share, so I think I'll do an Andy part 2 tomorrow, if you don't mind.
