Another First Thursday, another gallery opening that features work from our studio members. And this month there’s two shows!
Erika Moen, Terri Nelson, Cat Farris, and a string of other artists contribute their modified My Little Ponies to the OMG PWN!ES group exhibition at The Sequential Art Gallery. There will be tentacles until January. The opening reception begins at 6pm.
Paul Guinan moved his 25 piece Boilerplate robot art show from the ArtBar over to the Pearl Room at Powell’s Books on Burnside. A second, and last chance, to catch this show, it runs until the first weekend of January. The Thursday reception begins at 6:30pm. Paul will sketch in copies of the robot’s book.

Portland’s KBOO radio broadcasted an interview and reading from Boilerplate: History’s Mechanical Marvel the other day. Missed it? That’s OK, you can listen to the half-hour program at the station’s archives.
The authors and interviewer presented the program as if the Victorian robot were real, and got a couple of angry calls…
 Orson's broadcast ironically caps Campion's story in the Boilerplate book.
