Miscellaneous Wanderings

Got a nice surprise in the mail the other day- a show announcement from my old college roommate Michael Barnes. (Okay, it was just 6 days of sharing a dorm room while doing a workshop at University of Texas- Arlington, but it's technically true.) Not just a postcard, but an 8.5" x 14" folded card with several illustrations. The image above is A Race to the End, one of his recent lithographs. The show is called Miscellaneous Wanderings, and collects prints and drawings from Barnes from 1992 to 2007. It opened today at the Larson Gallery at Columbia College in Columbia, Missouri, and will remain up through October 31. Reception and artist talk at 1 pm on October 29. If you can't make it to the show, you can see more of his art on his website, and keep up with his adventures on the Outlaw Printmakers blog.
