so this summer I have met new people in the local art world, two of which are Derick Benetez Bryant and Ayinde Kwaku Purell. (http://benetez3.com and http://ayinde.artistportfolio.net respectively)
Benetez invited me to display my work with him at the Art In The City show at the Metro Cafe July 12th 2008. along with me and Benetez was the music inspired artist Jeffery McCauley of the DC area. Each of us painted a model/waitress/bartender.

2 weeks later Ayinde invited me to be a part of his Art Life Style Tour at the 202 Lounge July 25th 2008. two other artists were featured in the show and Ayinde also painted 2 models with body art.
