Big Plans…

Posted on August 5, 2008

Big plans are brewing for MoHDI. Brooklyn has kept me very busy although the ideas are a flowing. NY is a place for ideas and a place to actually make them happen. Some major changes are in store for MoHDI. I’ll be posting some of the process of working on making this site a more enjoyable experience and a place people will want to visit on a regular basis.
I’m going to keep this short and sweet and post more details in the next few days.

Drew

ON Gallery opens in the Everett Station Lofts with “Departure”:
illustration, large format videography and video conference by artist
Drew Anderson.

About “Departure”

Oregon artist Drew Anderson shows a vast body of his work in his
Departure show. A long time resident, Drew has shown throughout
Portland for the past decade. Here we showcase a variety of his recent
work, from intricate weaves of ink on both paper and antique cabinet
cards, to original block cuts.

A new series entitled Buy My Sketchbook
(http://www.buymysketchbook.com), which has recently been on display
in London and Tokyo, will be viewed as a large-scale projection.

Despite his recent move to Brooklyn NY, the artist will be present
virtually via video conference, and ready to answer any questions.

This show will be an exciting exploration of imagination and whimsy,
and may be the last we see of this artist for some time.

Goodbye Portland!

It’s been over 10 years in Portland. It’s time to follow the path that is before me.
This is a unique and good direction for MoHDI and myself. It’s certainly not going to be easy but, this is what’s happening now. The best ideas are yet to come.

For now, the staff at MoHDI is going to need to get settled a little bit before the next blast of hundred dollar ideas emerge.

So long for now……

East coast is calling.

VOTE and eat a Popsicle.

Sunday, Portland was fortunate to have some decent weather although some would say it might be a little hot others would say it was much needed and a great day to join about 75,000 other people to listen to Barack Obama speak on the waterfront.
My plan initially was to go down there wait in line and see him speak. After a bit of reality kicked in I decided that it would be best to stay home mainly for 2 reasons. First, I hate waiting in line and second I don’t particularly like large crowds either. Rebecca changed my mind with a phone call at about 2:00 telling me about some massive lines and about the people selling all sorts of stuff from Obama shirts to frozen goods.
I didn’t really want to miss out on this opportunity and I wanted a good excuse to leave the house. The first step was to borrow a cooler. My roommate who was out of town over the weekend just so happened to leave one out for me, I took the liberty of using it. The next step was a trip to my favorite store Fred Meyer. The 2 for $3 sale on popsicles was pretty good and I was fortunate this day there were still about 5 bags of those left and a handful of other cheap frozen treats. I spent about $13 on frozen goods to sell and $1.29 on a bag of ice for the cooler. I had 114 popsicles in my cooler and my plan was to try to get a buck a piece for them.
I suppose part of the cost was the $1.75 for the bus there and the $1.75 for the bus back so all together I spent $17.79 on this venture.

So packed with a backpack cooler, I hit the waterfront. After a scope of the crowds and area, I found a nice bench in the shade where I sat and said the word “popsicles” to passers by. I didn’t want to be too exposed as I’m not totally sure what the laws are on selling stuff out of a cooler backpack. I was asking $1 each for them although if people didn’t have the money or if it was someone that was less fortunate or seemed nice or was some cute kid or just looked like they needed a frozen goody, I would just give them one. I came home and had a grand total of $28.50 from sales. $28.50 - $17.79 = $10.71. That’s not too bad for 3 hours worth of work. I probably gave away about as many popsicles as I sold and I probably ate about 7 or 8 myself.
