Ahhhhhhhh, Friday.

Ahhhhhhh Friday.  As an artist that does in fact work for a non profit org as well (fighting the good fight for the future of our drinking water no doubt), Friday's still do hold a special place in my heart.  I love Friday.  Tonight I even have rather wonderful plans after work and I think it is going to be a late night.  What can I say, life is good.  So as I have been working on pieces for my Fecal Face solo show in the studio, my commission piece for an awesome collector of mine, planning my east coast journey in the winter and much much more, I found myself thinking back to some nostalgic moments in the past few years and wanting to look at some things that I hold dear memories of.  I have always thought phrases like "throwback Thursdays" and "Flashback Friday" were corny, but nonetheless I am kind of having a flashback Friday.  Here are some photos of some great moments in the past few years. Thanks to everyone out there for all the support, those that have brought negativity which made me grow stronger, and to those who work hard and make the world a better place to be.  Thank you all. -JFA III 07/25/2014

More Press from Art Larking for "The Love of All Above" Feb 4th with Daylight Curfew

So I was contacting by a really awesome person from Art Larking, a super sick art and culture blog, to do an interview really out of the blue.  They have featured Old Crow before whom I have worked with extensively and I was truly honored to be considered for an interview.  I have gotten some really amazing feedback on the interview and I had the most amazing time answering the questions and have since been getting to know Rae who interviewed me, online facebook and she is exceptionally refreshing and rad.  Much thanks to Rae Rubio and everyone at Art Larking for their amazing support and genuine interest in what I am doing, they really made me dig deep.  Click on the image below to link straight to the interview.  Rae you Rock!
