Mango Madness: The Fusion Art Show

From Feb. 20 to Mar. 4, 2006,Group Hug Productions featured my shadowbox work at Cafe Infusion in San Francisco as a fundraising effort for art education.

I met Jesse Ford six years ago when he was looking for animation interns for GHP's "The Dawg" project. We got together with other computer animation students from the Academy of Art College and San Francisco State University. Unfortunately, we weren't able to finish the project because students had different schedules and people just came and went.

Jesse saw my shadowbox work at PilDesign's P2:Independence show at the San Francisco Public Library in 2004. He wanted to set a series of art fundraisers in a cafe setting. Along with my work, the exhibit will feature GHP's past and current projects and the work of Tom Klump, who designed GHP's promotional material. Cafe Infusion housed our work and sold mango smoothies and fruit omelets which part of the proceeds went to the benefit.
