A work I’m calling “Nikki Power” was my featured image at the art show YOU CAN GO AND LOOK AT RIGHT NOW at the Hot Shops Art Center in Omaha, Nebraska.

Signed and editioned 8×10 prints are for sale. $25. These are premium prints on badass archival paper, and the colors are amazing live and in person. She’ll come to you in a sweet archival comic book baggie with some cardboard so no bending.
