Dime Bag Paintings

I'll be in a group show with 200 artists this July at Giant Robot NY , curated by Jordin Isip and Rodger Stevens.  Each piece of art fits into a 3" x 3" clear dime bag, and will be hung in a grid-like fashion side by side.  This is the third show of this sort (Dime Bag 3), and the first that I'll be participating in.  With the theme totally open-ended, I had some fun creating on a small scale and was inspired by some key things close to my heart: New York, my family and ice-cream.  

I think these work as a series, but I had to chose just one for the show (it has already been submitted).  Do you have a favorite?

I am just discovering your work... wonderful creations here, your work on colors and shape is amazing! And "I'm your peanut butter..." finds an echo in me, wonderful!

Summer Love is so sweet! Which one did you submit?

I originally submitted only Summer Love, but then Jordin Isip, one of the curators, saw this little informal poll (via facebook) and said if there's space he'd like to put them all in. Thanks for your feedback!
