It was a great show, my first real show that's open to the public. I mean, the public actually came and saw. It was amazing. For this show that is about ads and how ads affect our lives, I chose to actually have my art works as ads, sort of "decorating" the other three artists' works.

Many people told me that I should have put some labels beside my "art works," or put them all together so they look more prominent. But I've achieved something that I've always wanted to do for a very long time in this show, and that is to create my art works as more of an experience, instead of creating art objects--the kind of art that people have always recognized.

Although I feel cool doing this, I'm also facing the challenge that people can't just point, buy and hang my art works in their kitchen. I don't yet know how to deal with this, but I think I'll figure it out soon.

I want to thank my show-mates(if I can call them by this), people at RPS, Walt, and everyone who helped and came to the show, and everyone who will come to the show.

I also want to thank Ozwalled wall graphics who produced all my vinyl graphics beautifully and made my show possible. They did a great job and I'm definitely thinking of them now when I'm brewing my next project.

Walking gallery guy, it took me one buck to take a picture of him. But that said, as an artist myself, I'm happy to support his project.

It was such a fun show ! Brooke and I each had a piece of wall to show our works, Liz had her 27" TV to show her video work JUNK. Lots of friends came, and some people who saw it on Berkeley Daily Planet. Too bad I didn't take a good picture of myself nor Liz. And while Wilson and Susie was playing the wonderful music, I was busy listening to the music and didn't take any pictures. Dang ! But I got a pretty good one of Brooke. Here're some pictures:
