Jeremy Cowart at NSAG

Saturday night was the opening for Jeremy Cowart's show 12 Children at Nashville's Smallest Art Gallery. We usually don't put a lot of focus on the actual "openings" as the gallery is open to the public 24/7. The running joke is that openings at NSAG consist of a lot of "awkward standing around on the sidewalk". While the current show had a bit of that, by nightfall it had turned into an impromptu sidewalk party.

 One of the best parts about the gallery is watching people's faces as they approach. Usually they are utterly confused. Most people ask "where the gallery?". One person asked me if I was waiting in line to go upstairs to see the gallery. 

Jeremy's artwork turned out great (and even better in person, imho) and it was definitely a very good time. I'm hoping this turnout will be a trend for future shows*.

Learn more about the show here: http://www.smallestartgallery.com/shows/cowart.php or come on down to the Village and check it out!

*Note to self: have Jeremy invite all of his Facebook friends to every opening.

Custom Project Folder Icons for OSX

For a while now whenever I start a new project (or months later) I have been trying to make a custom folder icon for it that matches the look and feel of OSX icons. I'm a very visual person, so this is a great way for me to easily jump to where I need to be.

I've been using the (now discontinued) software Iconographer to edit the icons. It's a nice piece of software but it's a bit of a process to do for every project. 

How nice would it be if it were built into osx? It could be as simple as just renaming a file to folder.eps. Apple, are you listening? 

Does anyone else do anything similar? I love the organization, but the maintenance is starting to take it's toll.
