The Annual Holiday ArtWalk will highlight the work of artists who live and/or work in the area known as Jingletown, a thriving arts district situated between the Park and Fruitvale Street bridges adjacent to the Oakland Estuary.

I will be showing a range of Black and White and color photographs, including new work, never before seen.  In addition I will be singing copies of my new book - naked man
(for a preview of the book, go to http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/2582290)

Jingletown got its name from a time when local Portuguese cannery workers' earnings would "jingle" in their pockets as they walked home from the factories in the area.  As time went on the neighborhood went into disuse, but in the early 1980’s artists realized the potential and converted many of the neglected warehouses into functioning live/work spaces. It is now a flourishing artist community and one of the fastest growing arts districts in the Bay Area.

Visitors to this historic arts district will see colorful mosaic murals on converted warehouse walls, intersection street painting art, and the Peterson Street Community Wall, a work-in-progress which features murals by many of the residents of Jingletown, including myself.

The goal of the Jingletown Arts and Business Community, who puts on the Annual ArtWalk among other things, is to heighten awareness about the rich and diverse population of working and exhibiting artists in the neighborhood, and to promote creative opportunities in the Jingletown Arts District.
