First off, I want to apologize to those of you that I have not spoken to in a while. I've been super busy! This will surely change once the show is over...
Secondly, I want to say sorry for the late notice, but I have been too swamped to sit down and write a decent invitation. So here I am, taking a breather with a cup of coffee, mere days away from opening night...
Anyway, I am just writing to invite YOU to my art show this Friday, February 12th at 7pm in Downtown Fullerton at the Hibbleton Gallery (Directions when you scroll down).
Please, please, please try to make it down. I know it's valentines day weekend. Have some dinner with your girl/boy and bring her/him to the show to enjoy some art and drink some wine (romantic!). I also know its lunar new years weekend. Come celebrate with some great art and a glass of wine! I know that the installations banquet is that day as well. I also happen to know it starts a little later...come by beforehand for some art, and pre-party with a glass of wine! Whatever your excuse is, it's just not going to be good enough.
The gallery exhibition will showcase 15 amazing artists, so please come by and check it out. I am expecting this to be the biggest show yet! There will be refreshments, a live band, a dj, and lots of other cool stuff that I can't think of at the moment. Free admission, free refreshments, free entertainment, and not-so-free artwork. How could you say no? Bring all your friends. Everyone is welcome! PLUS, there is an after party right next door afterwards. Wear comfortable shoes and be prepared to walk about ten steps to get there.
I've been pretty much a recluse these past few months, so come out and see me before I go back into hiding. It's been too long!
Thank you thank you thank you!!

Ps: To see one of my pieces for the show, check the back of the postcard attached to this email. Mine is the scary man with the rifle. It was inspired by Notorious B.I.G.'s song "Juicy". Particularly the line: "Living life without fear, puttin' five carats in my baby girl ear." Awwww, Just in time for valentines day.
