Being a 'regional artist' I have a certain amount of responsibility to make work that is relevant to the greater art world. Just because I'm making art in the provinces doesn't mean I do it in a vacuum. I would say that many Memphis artists take themselves seriously in this way.
We just don't take ourselves TOO seriously.
This is what I made for the Super-Epic Memphis Unicorn Magical Exhibition Show.
Now it lives out in the carport next to Mr. Owl.
