memphis day 4

so today i worked on the left side bringing it closer to the other side, tomorrow i will try and take the piece in a new direction, with only 5 work days left until the opening i need to pace myself now that we are at the half way point. I did find out today that the day after the opening i will be on a morning tv news show weaving my way through their segment, that should be fun.


I have some amazing accommodations for this gig. The university of memphis has me a room in the university of memphis holiday inn. Not only is this the nicest holiday inn I have ever seen, like my room is a suite with a living room and a kitchenette, it is also the holiday inn museum. The floor i am on houses a gallery full of the holiday inn founder’s personal relics and a wall of text panels with his inspiring adages and aphorisms. The hotel actually doubles as their school of hotel and hospitality management. It really gives me that little get up and go that it takes to get through day, especially the panel pictured here.

i will try and snap images of all the different ones in there.
