Iwent to "On Being an Artist: Daily Affirmations and Gang Violence” presented by Michael C. Miller. He is a professor of Art at TAMU-Commerce. His work is really cool. It pretty much all had text and a sort of clip art style painting on Walmart fabric. Despite that awful description his work is really cool. The piece on this page was one of my favorites. He has a student find clip art and another put bits of fabric on canvas "without any design, make it ugly." From the ugly fabric he makes beautiful interesting, sometimes colorful multimedia images. His body of work reminds me strongly of Maggie Taylor, except of using photoshop and photographs he work in a studio with fabric and paint. I havnen't been drawn to collage style art before this year, but I'm becoming very fond of it.
Aside from that Commerce Week on Writing was very fun and interesting. I really enjoyed all the events I went to. I wish the did this stuff more.
