I donated a photo diptych of mine to Art Against AIDS, an auction of over 75 pieces of art of different mediums. The proceeds from the event help Heartland Alliance's HIV/AIDS programs and services, including primary care, referrals, assistance with transportation and lab costs, housing, alternative therapies such as chiropractic treatment and massage therapy, HIV prevention education, and oral health care.

The actual event happens February 28th at River East Art Center in Chicago (I'll post a reminder blog in February.) Tickets can be purchased through the link above for $100. All tickets include live and silent art auction and music by DJ Oskar from 6 to 10 pm with cocktails and gourmet food stations.

I won't be able to go, though it sounds like fun. Please go if you are interested! It's for a great cause!

Here is the photo I donated below:

Matt and I filmed a commercial for a WXRT contest and lost. He took this still of me from the video on a polaroid, and I think this is one of my favorite photos of myself. Good Work, Matt!

Diptych completed!

Still no scanner. This is half of a diptych from February 2007.

This is in Central Park in Griffith, Indiana. I actually took this a couple of weeks ago. Matt used to play on this tank when he was a kid.

No. No new scanner. Annie and Peter have been kind enough to let me scan some stuff!
