Renegade Opening: Article from Cincinnati Enquirer

A couple weeks ago, I found out that the gallery I was showing with was suddenly tossed out on the street. From what I can tell, there was no legitimate explanation for this eviction. Perhaps this sort of thing just happens when your business partner winds up being a bigoted, gun-toting, jesus-freak, but that’s just my opinion.
Pardon me if I do come across a tad bitter, but you would be too if you discovered that eight of your paintings were carelessly placed outside in the blistering heat. However, my friends Chris and Jonathan were determined to make the best of the situation. Unwilling to take any guff from the swine, they organized and staged a ‘Renegade’ opening in a pair of U-haul trucks parked in front of the gallery.
The event caught the attention of the local media, and this article was ran as a result. I had initially driven down to Cincinnati in order to recover my work, and I was in attendance when the reporter arrived. It is always good to receive press, especially after something as frustrating as this.
