My good friend Marshal Ayers has just launched Artzray, an online e-zine that is dedicated to be a resource to young artist of multiple disciplines. Recognizing that achieving a career in the arts is often nonlinear they have began to compile important information that can help guide young artist.

“Play Me, I’m Yours”
Very happy to be painting a piano as part of LACO’s Play Me I’m Yours.
The Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra presents Play Me, I’m Yours, a community-wide art and music installation featuring 30 pianos across Los Angeles County. Designed and decorated by local artists and community organizations, the pianos are available for three weeks for everyone to enjoy. Play Me, I’m Yours honors acclaimed conductor and pianist Jeffrey Kahane’s 15th anniversary as LA Chamber Orchestra music director. The installation launches on April 12, 2012 at noon with a simultaneous play-in of Bach’s The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book I at all 30 pianos.
My piano will be in front of the El Portal Theater in the NoHo Arts District. Glad to see that Ryman Arts and Man 1 along with the students at the Heart Project are painting a piano as well.
Here are a few before photos of my piano. Will post some progress shots as I go.
