Academy of Art Spring Show 2013

Four of my pieces were selected for inclusion in this year's AAU Spring Show. I also got to participate in the pre-show portfolio review. I sat next to my super-talented friend Yongqian, who was in my very first art class two years ago. Awww! Don't we look like a pair of hopeful and earnest little artists.

In the downtimes I doodled a picture of myself soaring through the treetops in a chariot drawn by squirrels. I signed this picture and gave it to Yongqian. I'm sure he'll treasure it forever.

You can see three of my pieces in a group on the right....at the bottom of the wall....near the floor.

These pictures were taken early in the morning, before the show had opened to the public. By the evening, hundreds of people were lined up outside waiting for the doors to open. Once open, the entire building was packed with people.

This is just a fraction of the line of people waiting to get in. I was pretty impressed with the popularity of the show! If you're interested, the show will be open at the Palace of Fine Arts until June 5.
