A,B,C...







This September I have the great honor of showing in the gallery at Books & Books in Coral Gables again.
My show last year was a hodgepodge of my work, things I had been working on all year...but no real theme.

This year I have decided to do a "Miami A.B.C..." series of paintings.

Let me tell you that some letters are easier than others to come up with an image for (think A for Alligator and X for????) I've put out a RFL (Request for Letters) on twitter...and now I am putting it out on here and Facebook.

So...here are the letters I am having issues with...or am not 100% on...

N, W, X, Y , Z....

Let me know if you have any ideas!

  1. Are you only doing Miami theme? I thought of Epcot Center, Key West,etc.

  2. Karena,

  3. For W you should do water or waves. R could be Rickenbacker.

    X is really hard. The only thing I can think of is the Super Bowl (XLI)?

  5. Thank you ladies!!! These are good ideas. I think for W I am going with Whip-n-Dip my favorite ice cream store. I'm going to ask my eco-historian for an "X" Tuesday.

  6. X - I know you would rather have a more "natural landmark" over a brand - but we do have Celebrity X Cruises (http://www.celebritycruises.com/aboutceleb/heroSingleTxt.do;jsessionid=00009bZBvPfTe4Jh7fDMYUJJvXa:12hdbcveb?pagename=company_profile&cS=SIDENAV).

    There is also X-Treme Rock Climbing (http://www.x-tremerock.com/).

    Or finally, WMIB/Miami Becomes 'Super X 103.5' -May 14, 2010: Clear Channel Radio makes a move at Urban WMIB/Miami, turning the station into Spanish Hot AC "103.5 Super X" at noon today. The new website is up and running here, and Super X is also available on iheartradio.

    "Based on the South Florida population being over 50 percent Hispanic and growing, adding a second Spanish-language format to the cluster provides us the best opportunity to mirror the South Florida market," Clear Channel Radio/Miami President/Market Manager Brian Olson said.

  10. X? What would Miami be without X-otic dancers!!! Somehow, I don't think that would fit in with the rest of them though... W, waves, water, waxy leaf begonia? Y, yucca, yachts and Z zoo, is all I can think of. Then again it is 3:30 in the morning and I should go back to bed. Besos!
