Hey guys, I donated some art to an auction taking place in Champaign, IL.

On May 29, there was a house fire in Urbana, IL. Everyone was unharmed except Ashley Ames, who was airlifted to a hospital in Springfield with very severe injuries. She passed away on Tuesday, July 6 2010. ASHLEYFEST will be held on July 29th, 30th and 31st. The proceeds from this event will go to the Ashley Ames Scholarship Fund. For those of you living in that area, I strongly encourage you to attend this event.

During this three-day event, you can view and bid on pieces by myself and other local artists at the Indi Go Artists Co-op from 2pm-11pm, and hear live music at Class Act Interactive Education and Events. Here’s the lineup:
