Flashback to January 2012. We were having some fun that year. 2012 was my own personal artpocalypse. Every month of that year I was somewhere else. That was also the year my firstborn arrived. Anyhow, it’s been too many years since Jim Arendt got me to myrtle beach, I’m just saying it wouldn’t take much to get me back. Did I mention this was the gig where I shared a visiting faculty house with a professional clown/acrobat. No kidding, he was a professional comede del arte performer.
