This is the artwork now hanging at The Art Garage in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The hanging, with the help of my wife Barb, went quickly and smoothly. We only forgot to check the works level, which I see is off a bit. We will correct at the reception on August 11th. This artwork is part of an exhibition of EmptyWallsArt. The rest of the members will “caravan” it over to Green Bay on Friday the 4th. Don’t Give up along with many other 3D works by the members will be on show until September 2nd.

I do not except much response to this show. The exhibition goes public; I believe on Wednesday the 9th and as of August 3rd all I see on their website is the wrong date for the reception in the listing (right side).

To quote ColdPlay, “Nobody said it was easy.”

Anyway, I am moving on. This next project is a recent (for me that means less than a decade old) pop hit by the Chainsmokers. The live version lacks a lot of punch, and the voicing is only okay. The studio version, of course, is what convinced me to let-it-roll on what will be another interesting and desired challenge.

Here is my very, very drafty 1minute 15 seconds cover version of this 4 minute song. I put this music together in one day, and of course it sounds like I did. This cover is good enough to where I can now turn to the designing of the artwork.
