Im in the open daybook, which is rad.
The Open Daybook is both a compilation of original art work and perpetual daily calendar. Over the course of a single year, three hundred and sixty five artists were assigned a date and given 24 hours to create a work of art.
Each artist’s day is a page in the book. But The Open Daybook is also an invitation for the owner to record his or her own day. The book can be used as a day planner, a journal or a daily sketchbook. As the owner of the book doodles, plans for the future and records the past, a second book is created, a collaboration in which each artist’s day becomes the owner’s day as well.

Hello good people of this planet.
My minds fire is totally stoked by this next exhibition.
ITS OUT THERE IN HERE
Grass Hut Gallery presents Its Out There - In Here, an exhibition featuring new paintings and interactive installations by Portland-based artist Mark Warren Jacques.
November 6th - 30th, 2009
Opening reception Friday, November 6th, 6-10pm
For his exhibition Its Out There - In Here, Jacques promises to truly take the viewer Out There with paintings that protrude from the gallery walls and floor, and an interactive installation that includes a "self help painting" and an "In Here zone" where visitors will be invited literally behind the paintings to investigate the artist's inspired affection toward the introspective life, outer-space, inner peace, and wonder.
In addition to installation, a dozen new highly detailed and meticulously rendered paintings in acrylic and ink will fill the gallery space. Imagery includes symbols of nature, the human body, interpretations of vipassana meditation practices, love, and the spiritual universe that connects us all.
Along with the installation and paintings a printed exhibition supplement including "Poem-Titles" and personal interpretations will also be available to further the viewer's understanding of the artist's intention for each work.
Its Out There - In Here will be on view at Grass Hut Gallery, 811 East Burnside, November 6th - 30th 2009. Gallery hours are Wednesday through Sunday, 12-7 pm and by appointment.

Hello Friends and Family,
Summer is here. Beautiful flowers and exciting projects.
Im super super stoked to announce the launch of Free Life Center. A huge project that Seth Neefus and I have been developing over the past couple of months. It is a culmination of our creative output, our ambitious building dreams, our adventurous spirit, and our belief that through sharing and community we live happier lives.
This project is also really exciting for Seth and I because it is the first time we are asking for funding. Funding opens up a whole new world of possibilities otherwise impossible.
Initially we are focusing on raising funds utilizing kickstarter.com.
Kickstarter is a new "community-funding" platform. Its pretty rad. Take a couple minutes to check it out:

Hello Everyone.
Its been a busy couple of months. I just returned from an amazing trip to San Francisco. Thank you to all the sunshine and my buddies in S.F., old and new, for such a beautiful journey.
I have been of the opinion for some time now that optimism is an important feeling to keep close and that it opens the doorway to happiness. With the sort of optimism that brings lasting joy i created a new series of paintings that are on display at my first San Francisco solo exhibition titled "The Optimistic Life and Mind"
