CACCA California Conference for the Advancement of Ceramic Art (I know, the acronym makes no sense) (Lilly Luna Bennett (in hat) talking with Jan (with sunglasses) about her piece "I Love the Unknown" clay, wood, paint) CACCA! YeeHaww!!! Honestly I could draw a Thousand pictures of that night! I Suck at taking pictures when I am part of an event, or when I am really tired.  This was a bit of a combination of the two but... (Me with silly hat) I did get some fun shots of the Sac State Booth and our food and beer spread of which I was basically the Meistro. (Rusty and Grace's Dude and our Keg of Guiness) I have been to this even at least 5 times in my life and all and all this night might have been the best one yet!

Eric Adjetey Anang One of my favorite parts about being an Art Student at Sacramento State is the opportunities I have had to work with and get to know visiting artist.

What is Art And who is Richard Jackson. The truth is Ladies and Gentlemen, in some ways this guy was pretty cool. Funny, clever, witty...  The truth is, I think he is a pretty unhappy albeit somewhat prolific, successful, recognized and funded artist.  Some of his work I really liked. Some of it I really didn't. (Honestly this piece and a # of is pieces make me feel sick to my stomach) (Honestly I don't even really want to see them)     (Really a lot of lude stuff) In his talk there were some very good quotes. "I made it all (10,000 Clocks) it's a piece about time. How you spend your time". I liked this part a lot. It made me immediately think about how I spend my time...
